We Will Beat Florida And Vandy This Year!

I can't believe I've atually seen post on here even more pessimistic than this one. Someone said they'd never see us bet UF again and proceeded to point out their lifespan could be 30 more years. Ridiculous. One W over UF and this stigma disappears.

That was me too. I was employing a little hyperbole with that post, but I digress.

We'll have neither the horses nor the experience this year to beat a team that has our number dating back to the 1970s...they've won like 20 of 26 since then including the last 9 in a row. They were awful last year primarily due to an unprecedented number of injuries. They'll be healthier, they're more experienced and more talented.

While we're fully replacing both lines of scrimmage, still uncertain at QB and having to play 15-18 true freshmen in the 2 deep is no time to be predicting a win vs the one team who kicks our ass no matter the circumstances, no matter what shape each program is currently in. It's gonna take a special UT team to break this unbelievable, logic-defying losing streak vs Florida..... I just don't think this team will be ready to do it yet. Next year or 2016? Yes. Just not this year.

Fair assessment. I think we have a decent enough chance to win, but it depends on many factors.

Florida has Idaho-Eastern Michigan-Kentucky-Bama- then Open Date then Vols
We have USU- Arkt St.- Oklah-OPEN Date-Georgia then Florida
The open date favors UF but we get them at home it's according to injuries will be close game.

We beat UF 62-24 last night in Neyland..On my PS3.



After experiencing the '94 and '95 blowouts, we're due for some payback.

Maybe one day we can even the score...but it's not gonna happen this year.

"IF" we win, it will be similar to '98 or '04. A very close game.

I bet we beat them by 17 this year.

I really don't know much about Vandy this year.

But Florida is likely to be pretty bad. I'd expect you to be something like a 5 point favorite in the UF game.

I am trying to imagine the anger on gator boards.

It would be epic

Then Will gets fired, Lane Kiffin leaves Bama and becomes UF head coach. Recruiting violations get UF the death penalty and the Vols lay smack downs for a 20 game win streak over the Gators!


At least that's what I wish would happen 😎

I think Gator fans are numb to it all at this point. We really expect to lose all the time with this atrocious offense.

I think you're now beginning to understand what it felt like to be a Tennessee fan in 2012...except with our defense.

which would be more upsetting?

10 in a row to florida

or

3 in a row to vandy[/QUOT

Vandy by a long shot

Agree. A 10th loss to Florida would suck but it's kinda expected, is it not? A 3rd straight loss to a bad vanderbilt team would be demoralizing and completely, 100% unacceptable. If Butch loses this year to Vandy, he better have already knocked off Florida, Bama and Oklahoma to offset it.
