There's actual excitement for a Bama game for the first time in a while

I recognize the odds are against us, but they aren't as strongly as in years past. It's just refreshing to be able to look forward to rivalry games and feel like you have a chance. Soon enough, it'll be more than a chance. It'll be being favored. I'm just enjoying watching a team actually improve week to week and give hope for the future.

You are dead on! Win, lose,or draw it is ALWAYS great to be a TENNESSEE VOL! My head says we lose by about 23 points but my heart says it will go down to the wire. You never know ...

If we lose today I hope everyone doesn't start all the negative talk again. I personally think everyone is expecting to much today.

I'm pretty sure it's going to be even more exciting the next few years.

This exactly. There is a reason that Bama is favored by four touchdowns. Yes, the Vols have improved each week this year & finally pulled their first upset; however, they are still a couple of years away from being anywhere near Alabama's talent level.

Alabama would have to play a terrible game to lose tomorrow. That's okay though as UT has a bright future under Jones.
