With Florida and Tennessee tying for second in sending the most players to the NFL, it's no wonder that there's bound to be some Gators and Vols clashing in locker rooms before Saturday night's game. Put them in lockers facing each other, and it only gets worse.
Former Gator tight ends Ben Troupe and Erron Kinney are separated by only a few feet from ex-Vol fullback Troy Fleming in the Titans locker room. Troupe said Fleming is his friend, but he knows people make mistakes.
"I was never ever my head coach's favorite player you know ... He's the coach's pet," Troupe said with Fleming watching from behind TV cameras. "In all seriousness, it's going to be a fun game."
Asked for a prediction, Fleming yelled out, "35-15 Vols," and Troupe said, "Just switch the ending."
A couple stalls down, Kinney offered up his own prediction of Florida scoring 50 points and winning.
"Man, you're not going to score 50 points," Fleming said.
"They're mad because they got beat last year. They keep talking about they got Urban Meyer ... Their offense is better but really they're not because they've got no running game."
Luckily, former Vol defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth and ex-Gator left guard Zach Piller stayed away from the fray.
