The 1939 one was bizarre for 2 reasons.
Remember that prior to 1970 something, the National Champion was crowned BEFORE the bowl games...and the bowl games were true exhibitions.
UT won a National Championship in 1938 and 1940. They were on the radar.
1939 - undefeated and unscored upon...
But on the other hand, how many teams from BCS conferences have come into Neyland in the last 10 years that we've beaten? Syracuse, Cal and...do we count Duke?
Obviously you don't understand.
Unless a player says, "We're going to play like crap and probably lose by 20," he's an overconfident douche who deserves to be injured.
I mean, maybe "fear" wasn't the best word, but I don't care if you're playing Western Arkansas Valley State...5 touchdowns by the backup running back in 15 minutes definitely got my attention.
