If UT beats UGA (a very large if), along with USCe, Vandy, & Mizzou, the Vols will be in the SEC Championship game regardless of the outcome of the UK game. The Wildcats already have 2 losses in the SEC. We have none.

UT fans at the game were the real winners yesterday. For the rest of their lives they will remember the 3rd Saturday in October, 2022 - joining tens of thousands of the Vol faithful on Shields-Watkins field, the smell of cigar smoke, the PA system playing 'Dixieland Delight.' You can't put a...

10-2? 9-3? So far this season I’m watching a 5-7 team.

3 technical fouls in the first 7 minutes! Now that’s UT - Ky basketball - the way it should be played!!

Many years ago I would record UT football games on VCR to watch again later (if they won). I would pause commercials, halftimes, times out, and sometimes when they huddled between plays. Even then the game would last close to 4 hr. My tape recording of the same game could be watched in ~55...

Going into this game Hooker had put up good numbers and had one of the highest QB ratings among FBS QBs. This DESPITE the fact that he is the most-sacked QB in the SEC. Imagine what he could do if he had an OL that could protect him.

Your comment about QB play is spot on. As one of the commenters on this thread pointed out, Week 1 games are a single data point, but of the 9 SEC QBs for whom ESPN listed QB ratings after Saturday's games, Milton of Tennessee had the lowest - 31.4. The highest QB rating went to Nix of Auburn...

On the sideline Milton looks like Vince Young 2.0, but I just don't see a high ceiling for him. He came here with a lot of experience as QB at UM, and in his first game against an inferior opponent he completes 47% of his passes for 140 yards? Even with CJH as his HC, it's hard to see him...

Sounds about right!

The Pokes beating Tennessee would not be an upset.

As a kid whose father went to Detroit to work on the assembly line at GM in the’50s, I never “connected”with the Lions as I did with the Tigers (lifelong fan). But with guys like Yale Lary and Bobby Layne, the Lions were formidable then.

True. You could see it coming when Johnny insisted on coming back after Phil’s big wins. I thought, “If UT loses even one game they should have won, Johnny’s in trouble.” And sure enough .....

We had some very good talent in the O-line last year. We just didn’t have anyone to coach them.

Dooley looked like the next Nick Saban but coached like Barney Fife. Somehow neither Jones nor Pruitt truly looked like HCs, especially when they spoke. I could never see them as bright enough for the job.
