Everyone keep your girlfriends at home...

Good idea. My wife will be with me.



Just kidding, Honey, in case you also read Volnation.

The line Is now Tennessee -2.5 to -3. So it looks like fla will be the underdog this weekend. I would rather us be the underdog. After the uga game, I think they'll try to take advantage of our o-line and take Worley out. I wouldn't be surprised if fla used two QBs to add a spark to the offense.

UF opened as a favorite. You still get the ammo and mentality of an underdog.

And UGA had, and hated Willie Martinez and Jancek. Funny stuff

Teams take on the identity of their HC. Maybe those two fit better under Butch and obviously they do.

Richt needed a scape goat but Martinez is better Db coach than coordinator

Yep. UGA loved him as position coach, as would just about any team in the country.

Your girlfriend's name is Honey??

That's sweet

To be perfectly honest, I don't think I've ever uttered the word "honey" unless I was talking about the kind bees make.

But, it fit well in my sarcastic post, JMO.

Great read from SDS on Hurd.

Film Study: Vols RB Jalen Hurd is a franchise player in the making

Thanks for posting. Glad they pointed out what an excellent blocker he is. I'm sure he's missed one or two, but I haven't seen it.

And I'm so glad Jake pulled the RB screens out of the attic, I think we're averaging 15 yards or so on those.

Here are my worries for Saturday...

1 - Two weeks of preparation and that is so, so valuable. While UT was preparing & playing last week and weekend, Florida was game-planning for Saturday. They are going to try and throw a couple of early haymakers, try to get on top early and quiet the crowd. If UT can survive the first 10 minutes, they will be in great shape for the balance of the game.

2 - UF's defense is a proud bunch. They were humiliated by giving up 645 yards versus Bama and you know they heard about it every single day for the past 2 weeks. I expect them to respond but most everyone still doesn't know just how good a team the Gators truly are.

3 - Another concern, albeit a much lesser one, is how the team is going to bounce back from a couple of back-to-back defeats. The competition was tough but it was still a pair of losses and there's no other way to sugarcoat this. Hopefully, they won't be dwelling on losing and focusing on the things that will allow them to come out on top. I strongly suspect the past is truly the past and as I said, this isn't as big a concern as the first 2 items.

If UT can take Florida's best early shots and survive the first 5 - 10 minutes of the game, they will be in great shape. By accomplishing this, they keep the crowd in the game and that is a big, big advantage. Especially with a Florida team that has to be struggling with their confidence.

Good points, especially number one.

That's the one that terrifies me. Roper can fix a lot of problems in 2 weeks.

The Vol football account has since followed Lil John, which will allow the two accounts to send private messages to each other. It’s looking more and more like this may actually have some legs.

Im worried they have used those two weeks to install a QB package for Treon Harris & in typical TN luck the backup we havent seen will come in & make our D look awful.

I think the days of our D looking awful are gone. We may not shut them down, but I don't think our D will lose us any games this year.

But I agree with your point in general, that they are fortunate to get us off a bye week, and their offense will probably look much better than their last couple games.

Butch is a genius. A marketing genius.

You remember, after the FL game time was announced, Butch was mad. He wanted it at night.

I am thinking he wanted this weekend to be a huge recruiting weekend for us. And he planned to have Lil John come and do a halftime show with the band and such. And Butch started the 3rd down for what thing to lead into and build up to it. And of course that has taken off into something huge.

Now with it being noon kickoff, it may not have quite the atmospheric impact. But man oh man it would still be awesome.

Or maybe, as someone suggested earlier, maybe Lil Jon will just do the 3rd down for what live.

Live Lil Jon. That will be replayed numerous times on every sports show. When we pull this win, the whole country will be talking about this program. Jones is a genius PERIOD
