2022: Game-by-game Predictions

People are underestimating the talent Florida has. Yeah they have a first year coach but they do indeed have talent. I’ll believe we can beat them when I see it. Twice in 22 years doesnt convince me very much.

What do you mean twice in 22 years?

Five times in 24, you mean? Or four times in 22?

Sure, it's a bad imbalance, one we need to correct. But certainly we don't need to go forgetting some of those wins we DO have, know what I mean?

Why anyone would pick us to lose to South Carolina really confuses me

Here are the results in Columbia since 2000:
‘00: UT wins 17-14
‘02: UT wins 18-10
‘04: UT wins 43-29
‘06: UT wins 31-24
‘08: UT loses 27-6
‘10: UT loses 38-24
‘12: UT loses 38-35
‘14: UT wins in OT 45-42
‘16: UT loses 24-21
‘18: UT loses 27-24
‘20: UT wins 31-27

Overall: 6-5 and I’d call ‘04 the only decisive victory. The chickens unfortunately play us pretty tough in Columbia. Knoxville, different story. We own them in Neyland.
 
With the brief exception of the 90's in which Florida and Bama (3-7 vs. Florida, 5-4-1 vs Alabama) were not included, Tennessee hasn't owned anyone of significance in the league for 50 years.

Getting to a point of win-some, lose-some. Sure.

"Owning", not based on anything that we've seen since integration.

We were 9-0 against UGA in the 90’s and 10-2 vs Bama from 1995-2006 (technically 11-1 because those cheating gumps forfeited the 6-3 loss in ‘05 to us), so that’s just false. Auburn/LSU we would’ve owned in the 90’s as well, but rarely played them. LSU, probably both 80’s and 90’s. They were a trash program in the 90’s.

Tennessee was 5-4-1 vs. Alabama in the 90's and 5-5 in the 2000's. By and large, usually one team doesn't "own" another if they are both good programs unless something has horribly gone wrong in which case you can bet that one program is suffering from a down period and probably has a plethora of coaching changes due to failure.

I cringed when I read Never's response, I was like "he just hung a curve over the plate and 99 is about to hammer it". Didn't have to wait long.

I'm not trying to insult or pick on anyone with the point either.

No one should "own" Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, LSU, Auburn, etc. The only way one owns any of those programs is if one program is going through an exceptional period (like Alabama is currently) or one is going through a really rough period. Both of those situations are not normal however.

So, as an example, I know Florida winning 16 of the last 17 vs. Tennessee isn't normal and I don't expect Florida to win 16 of the next 17. I also don't expect Tennessee or anyone else to win 16 of the next 17 vs. Florida.

Valid point. But UF absolutely owned UGA as well from 1990-2010, I would say, and UGA was not in any down period, really.

Since Spurrier left, Florida is 11-9 vs. Georgia. (win some-lose some).

Most long running series for Florida, they got it handed to them before 1950 and since 1950, they've held their own. This is the case with the Georgia series.

I'm honestly impressed that more of you pitiful UF fans didnt become UGA fans or are you seeing that now they finally won a natty? ( the UF fans who in the 80s were Miami fans...and dont act like you didnt wear that miami jersey over the turtle neck you wore when the weather got in the 60s in floribama...worse than fair weather bama fans..)

I expect after Napier drops a turd in Gainesville, you will start seeing more UGA bumperstickers and flags (I mean because hey its only one state up.... right??? why not pull for them...).

PS

As a native Floridian I hate UF with pretty much every ounce of my being, hope you go 0-12 and the team gets gout.
