I just don’t buy this kind of talk about Being the biggest game in 13 years. This is still a nothing to lose kind of game imo. In order for a
Game to be of the magnitude this story suggest there has to be plenty to win and lose. I just don’t Think any kind of loss changes the course of the future for this program. Jmo

I do think the 2016 UF game was every bit as big, unfortunately in the end Butch was not able to turn the results of that win into something bigger, and maybe because Butch didn't capitalize on breaking the streak people tend to forget how big that win seemed at the time.

You might be right about a loss Saturday, as long as it isn't a blowout, but let's be real; the ramifications of a win would be huge; to national perception; to recruiting, to the perceived pecking order in the SEC.

Departing for Athens shortly. A few breaks go our way and I think we sneak out with a W. The last time I was in athens for a game JJ made me one of the happier guys on the planet....I hope I leave again feeling the same way.
GO VOLS

Lets get it, I believe in this team and its coaching staff, its time to return to our rightful place on top.

Looking back it's now pretty obvious that talent/impact player-wise, the Vols were simply a much better team than UF that year. Also much better than UGA. Those games shouldn't have even been close. Our only loss should have been Bama, and even that should have been a tight game. Just goes to show how poorly Butch managed everything post-Outback Bowl.

I'm still uncertain how good this UT team is. Are we a one-trick pony with a really great OL and are average everywhere else? We'll find out a lot tomorrow IMO.

Too bad Snit can’t manage. I mean, he can’t even get the Braves to the postseason. Oh, wait. He can’t even win a series. Oh, wait. He can’t even make it to the NLCS. Oh, wait...

I think his detractors will gladly eat crow. I really want the Braves to win it all because I don't like any of the remaining teams, but more so because I want Snit's critics to eat them some crow.

Delta is going to make landfall at roughly the same location as Laura. Folks on the Louisiana coast just recently got their power back. Now, Delta is coming in for the knockout blow. 2020 is historically bad.

Still waiting on Butchna to explain to me how Snit empowers guys to hit homers. As I said, thankfully AA took Ender and Luke Jackson away from Snit. If Jackson was still on the roster, bet we don't sweep.

Unfortunately Flowers is still on the roster and, in spite of Travis playing at an All Star level, I half expect Snit to start Flowers at leadoff in the NLCS.

Thanks errbody. As you can imagine this year has had a huge impact on me. I've decided to change course and rely on the Lord more and just be kind and giving when the opportunity arises.

Deep down I'm just a sarcastic prick. But 2020 has been the most terrible and also the best year I've had. Done a couple other things I won't speak on but the blessings have returned Sevenfold from those as well.

I appreciate y'all and try to remember every day that each blade of grass is a miracle. Every living thing. And also the non living things.

I was thinking the other day that the very last thing God created was woman, then it was finished. So I encourage all you guys to pay it forward by making your mother's, sisters. Aunt's, cousins, daughters, etc. To feel cherished today.

We are the dumb brutes entrusted with protecting, nourishing, and relying on that last creation.

Git Sum!

It's not like Georgia will fall out of the top 10 if we win

Nope, but I meant if we upset UGA and them whip UK the following week, UT could sure be top 10 by Bama in 2 weeks, and depending on what happens to some higher ranked teams could be pushing top 5.

This year...

I just found out about my good friend and fishing buddy lost his battle with cancer yesterday. Loved his family, friends, and The Vols. One of the greatest people ever. He was a respiratory therapist at the hospital where I worked. We worked together in the ER for years. He pushed around his computer and cart with a bucket of candy. You see working in an ER can beat you up. You see tragedy non-stop. You get treated terrible. It makes you question life choices. Tim would see that in your face, walk over and put his arm around you and say “you know this is just temporary buddy”. He would then hand you piece of candy and say “I’m proud of you”. He would call me on Veterans Day just to say thanks. We fished together often. Really going to miss my friend.

He graduated from UT. Huge Vol fan. Had a million Alabama jokes.

He actually ran for governor once 😂.

Worked in medical tents on pit row at Daytona every year.

He had two degrees one in chemistry. He made the best “juice”. Couple of drinks and those Alabama jokes were hilarious.

Not asking for sympathy. I feel bad for the world losing a great kind soul. Asking everyone to raise a glass to Tim tonight. VOL FOR LIFE

not giving sympathy, but remembering a damn good person. World needs more of these. Here's to hoping our kids can fill this niche.
