Is anyone else pulling for Vandy to knock off Florida this weekend? I'd like to see Florida lose 3 of their last 4 and not make a bowl game.

No do you want muschamp fired so they can hire a great coach? Do you want Vandy fans to think they are the Denver Broncos again? Heck they think they are the greatest thing ever for barely pulling away late vs old dominion

Absolutely not

 

[TNrockytop4ever]

Trust me, I'm all for Muschamp staying an extra couple decades and digging that hole deeper and deeper. And I hate Vandy as much as the next guy. But if it comes down to the possibility of Florida missing out on a bowl game for the second straight year, I'm definitely in that boat.

 

[WriterVol]

I wondered where the hell North went in that game. He's kind of taken a smaller role this season. I'm rooting for other guys to step up and relieve some of his double coverages.

All season it seems like I hear he's banged up everytime he's mentioned.

 

[Catbone]

Saw some quotes that Callahan tweeted saying that Lane and North will be good to go for the UK game

That's surprising

 

[AVolforLifenmeZac]

That's surprising

Butch said the same thing about worley at one point though. I think lane is done. He couldn't even walk after the game. Will be truly surprised to see lane running for us any more

 

[Ericvol2096]

Here are mine:

Vols 37 UK 14

Vols 35 Mizzou 14

Vols 48 Vandy 10

I think Neyland is rocking both home games. Our defense will be rested up and will play inspired football. Dobbs and Hurd will run all of these defenses ragged (250+ on the ground each game).

We are about to rock and roll...

Vols 38 Kats 20
Vols 20 Tigers 18
Vols 45 Vandy 13

Missouri game is gonna be a nailbiter

I may have missed it but where has weatherd been? He got injured but is out all season?

I want Florida to keep Muschamp.. Whatever it takes.

I haven't really noticed him at LB much, but he was for sure on kick off coverage unit against SC.

I've never claimed to be a photo editing genius, but I took a few minutes, and well... I'll just leave this here.

... and just in case some of you didn't catch the reference,

"He once spotted South Carolina 14 points, late in the 4th quarter, just because he enjoys the math that comes with perfect clock management."

SEC bowl projections: Week 10 - SEC Blog - ESPN

Latest projections....still don't have us in bowl

That's from the week before the USCe game, isn't it?

 

[TrueOrange]

I wouldn't be surprised either way. But Mizzou would be playing for the East, and we will be playing for a bowl. It's an intriguing matchup.

I don't doubt that it's intriguing. It's just they're going to do what gets them the most viewership in the end.

The others are just more likely to do that for them in this regard, and it gets a bit further compounded by their general reluctance to use a Missouri game (without a contest also involving a highly ranked, much larger-sized fanbase school) because of past ratings.

Both the Miss schools just offer more that week in the regards towards what they're generally looking for.

Sadly, no. Posted Nov. 4.


Useless blog is useless.

Fun read

 

[TrueOrange]

Do you think will start him on senior day? Let him hand the ball off a time or two then take him out so the crowd can give him a standing ovation.

Worley deserves it.

It'd be a nice gesture, but I doubt it. Especially if he has to get surgery.


Taking a knee's one thing. That (even with a handoff) is still a risk of something unnecessary happening to a player already injured to the point of needing surgery. Were something to happen that made matters worse or caused further complications, that could turn into an absolute mess for UT.

 

[CABVOL]

At which point did this seem like a good idea do you?

I was thinking the bowl game might be a possibility, depending on the situation

I think it may be but they tweeted it out last night as if it were the updated projections. I guess it doesn't matter. Just have to win two of three which essentially we have three home games to do

After you posted that, I went and looked on espn's site. As I recall, Schlabach has us playing OK State in the Liberty and the other guy has us playing Memphis in Birmingham.

I know we are talking about CBS, but Knoxville has been a top 10 market for ESPN for years. I don't really see how either of the Mississippi schools offer a better viewing market than UT. Mississippi State and Vandy certainly doesn't. When you take Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and LSU out of the equation, it's pretty clear to me. But I don't really know the numbers. Late in the season, "intriguing" can equal more viewers because Florida and Georgia fans will tune in to see how Mizzou plays because the East is on the line. JMO.
