I understand what y'all are saying, and neither of you are wrong, as it pertains strictly to UT/UF...but, I totally agree with what OC is saying, as well. Winning WILL NOT cure sh!t for many here. All I have to do is read posts during baseball season to know that for a fact.

Next year, as defending National Champs, how many will be "concerned" about "arms"? How many will fret on and on, before a practically all-new roster gels? I can hear the "struggle" now. How badly will we "miss" Zane Denton, and hear about how Vitello should have done more to keep him. "Chase Burns" "Chase Burns" "Chase Burns". You two do know, that we would have won the SEC, SEC Tourney, and National Championship this year, if only "Chase Burns" had been here. "We desperately needed him".

Again...yes, we need to make a statement this year against Florida, to woodshed them and not let up, to rid ourselves once and for all of their stench, and their hold over us. I, myself, believe it's coming. I believe we beat them worse than Miami did. Throughout the years, dating all the way back to the '90s, most every single year, with the exception of a handful, they have held different advantages. 90s, whenever talent was pretty much even, they had the way better coach. Early 2005-2010, talent and MUCH BETTER coaching. Then we hired Derek Dooley, Butch Jones, and Jeremy Pruitt. Need I say more? A dead guy could have coached them.

Since the 90s, it's either been coaching, by a country mile, or talent they have had. Yes, there's been some years where we just laid an effing egg, and completely sh!t ourselves.

Those days are over. Not only do we have the talent now, I truly believe there are only 1 or 2 coaches, in all of America, that are maybe better than Josh Heupel. And, that dude is out for blood. He is a "make a statement" coach. Yes, last year sucked, we were much better, and played like sh!t; however, I truly believe if we had had HH or Nico at QB, they lead us back whenever we go down, or we never go down to begin with. We had many chances to get back in the ballgame, we just didn't have that playmaker to lead us there (85, surely you can appreciate that...the last couple of days, you have been right on point, posting about how it was last year anytime anyone criticized Joe...i totally agree...I love Joe and appreciate the hell out of him; but, he didnt have "it", and thats just a fact)...not to mention, some of the atrocious calls that halted ANY momentum we got our hands on (McGill, surely to God, you can appreciate that!)

It's time, fellas...it's Vader time! I believe, with all of my heart, our time has arrived, and not just against Florida.

Go Vols! Let's drag this Wolfpack Sat night. We win by, at least, 3 touchdowns, imo.

I disagree with the basic premise of your (football related) argument.

But it doesn’t matter.

We can go a long way towards re-defining the nature of this rivalry this year in Knoxville. Hope it’s Vols by Fiddy… at the half.

Using the FPI win probabilities, I simulated 20,000 seasons for the Gators. Here is the probably of winning # of games:


0 Wins0.1%
1 Win3.6%
2 Wins14%
3 Wins26%
4 Wins28%
5 Wins18%
6 Wins7.3%
7 Wins1.8%
8 Wins0.3%
9 Wins0.0%

That is good for:

9.4% chance to be bowl eligible
73% chance to win 4 or fewer

Dang, my spreadsheet only does 1,000 simulations. Need to up my rows!

Sim also said 4 wins most likely...3 wins not far behind. How pathetic for UF and all that in state talent 😅🤣🤣

Any metric that has a 31-pt performance from a Mark Stoops offense rated significantly higher than a 69-pt performance from a Josh Heupel offense is obviously useless.

UK only played a 35 min game tbf.

Lightning or whatever ended it. Had to call it.

They averaged a very healthy 9.4 ypa and 6.2 ypc. It's what they do every year until they get their nose broken vs an SEC opponent 😅


But I do think the real metric should be pts/possession.
