I assume most of you were at Rocky Top last year. How much do you think the crowd contributed to the demolition of Cal? Or was the team that much better?

Bruce Pearl has not only brought attention to UT basketball in the state of Tennessee, but the program is getting considerable national attention as well. Until this year, I have
never looked forward to Tennessee football
and basketball.
Don't overlook the fact that the '06 team had a HUGE chip on its shoulder following an embarrassing '05 campaign. Couple that with the always-raucous Neyland faithful and the resulting snowball of momentum would have been more than any team in Cal's position could have handled.
The fact that
Cal is the team with a chip on its shoulder this year is the only thing that worries me about Saturday's game.
