* This will be the 108th all-time meeting between Tennessee and Auburn ... Tennessee leads the alltime series 70-37 ... UT has won 11 of the last 15 meetings overall

* With a loss, UT would move to last in the SEC standings by virtue of a head-to-head loss against idle Georgia and the worst overall record in the SEC.

* With a win, that would put UT at 1,500 wins as a program.

* Expect to see some zone and some presses from Auburn.

* Auburn is No. 129 in the RPI rankings; the Vols are No. 159.

* Tennessee is 13-2 against the Tigers in Thompson-Boling Arena, with the lone setbacks coming in 1991 and 1998.

* When Tennessee hosted Auburn 25 years ago in Stokely Athletics Center, Tony White set a UT single-game record with 51 points

* Tennessee currently ranks sixth nationally in average home attendance (17,046). The Vols are riding a streak of five consecutive seasons with a national top-five finish in attendance.

* Since SEC play began on Jan. 7, the Volunteers' bench has been outscoring the opponents' bench by 13.5 points per game. Tennessee has had the edge in bench scoring in 11 of its last 12 games

* With our winning record at home, and their losing record on the road, I would give the advantage to us.


GO VOLS!!!!

Oh god. I am not great at the whole venue of games thing am I.

I think it's because the thread title has UT Vs Auburn, which I must has misread as UT @ Auburn.

In the states as a rule, if its X vs A is X always the home team? Seeing as the home team is always on the right side usually.

Home team is supposed to be on right, but you can't expect that much attention to detail from VN. Remember, this is the same place that glorifies the use of "escape goat" and "premadonna."

The way I've always understood it, X xs A means that X is the road team.

I could be crazy, and I can't find a picture to reference it, but I think the scoreboards around the sides of TBA (not the jumbotron) read Vols vs. [Away team]. Weird.
