Tennessee: The Vols need to win all four games in November to be bowl eligible. With the softest part of what’s been a grueling schedule coming up, they might be able to pull it off. They play at Memphis this Saturday, get Ole Miss at home Nov. 13, travel to Vanderbilt on Nov. 20 and come back home to face Kentucky on Nov. 27. Memphis is one of the weakest teams in the country, and Tennessee is a combined 39-2 against Kentucky, Ole Miss and Vanderbilt since the league split into divisions in 1992.

This is quoted from Chris Low....I can't believe how we have dominated those three teams the past 20 years.

This has to give us just a little bit of hope to be able to pull off a bowl game!!!:good!:

Good part about it is the 2 toughest teams out of those 4 we have at home (Ole Miss & Kentucky). It's definitely lining up for a 4 win finish...hopefully we don't make silly turnovers and keep one of those teams in the game.

We have some hope but it would have been nice to get that LSU win then I would be more confident at this point. TN has to pretty much play perfect ball from the Ole Miss game on.

We MUST MUST MUST beat Kentucky.... The streak is as old as I am.... Even when Tennessee is at its worst we have to let Kentucky know that we are STILL better!

I don't know what it's like for Kentucky to beat Tennessee at football, I'm only 21 years old.

I'm 31, but the first college football season I recall watching was 1985. So, you could say that the streak started with me. I hope it continues.

I know this i've said this about 3 or 4 years running but Kentucky probably has their best shot ever of ending that streak. This year is a no brainer, probably will have a good chance at a win next year also.

THeir chance at breaking it next year goes down quite I bit. We should be much improved by next season - not to mention the last game of the season. They won't be any better - if at all... possibly better QB situation.

Just thought I’d throw in my 2 cents worth. Looking back, the season has gone pretty much as we thought it would. While Oregon ended up being better than I thought, UT was able to compete with them and it looks like the storm put a damper on the game and allowed Oregon to regroup. Their coach totally changed his game plan during the hour and a half delay. Would UT have been able to beat them if the storm had not delayed the game, probably not. But it wouldn’t have turned into a lopsided loss like it did since Oregon would have had to wait until halftime to make the changes. On the flip side, UT barely escaped the UAB game with an OT win. So, 2-2 for Sept was correct.

October didn’t turn into the 0-4 nightmare that was it was thought to be but still 0-4 none the less. LSU turned out to the be the game UT should have stolen a win in. Instead, it turned into a unusual loss that was the bases of a disaster at uga. But, the team rallied against Bama for a half before giving way to a blowout. They did rebound against SC but only after giving the ball away 4 times in another winnable game. So, 0-4 was correct and UT had their chances in 2 of the games to pull an upset only to give them away.

That being said, look for UT to finish strongly in November. With Bray at QB and the O-Line continuing to get better, look for there to be less sacks and more offense. With Simms and Bray, the offense was better against Bama and SC. IF we can move the ball on them, we can move the ball against anyone. Hopefully, the Memphis game will be a spring board to wins against Ole Miss, Vanderbilt and Kentucky. I think the Ole Miss and Kentucky games are going to be battles though. Good thing they are both home games. Ole Miss has been getting a little better as the season has gone on. Kentucky though doesn’t seem to be improving. But neither team is really that strong. Turnovers will be continue to be the key. I like the our chances.

We can do this. That record is way too good for us to not win out. GBO

If Tennessee wins out and go bowling, I would call the season a success based on everything prior to the last four games.

I do...A few times in fact...I was there the last time Kentucky beat us in 1984...It was horrible, watching those unbathed rednecks celebrate and spewing chewing tobacco all over the place and them yelling Yeeeehaaawwww was just a vision that will live with me forever :yuck:.....Oh the horror..Seriously tho, It wasn't any fun.

Ky should have won 2 years ago but the game was Fulmer's last so they played on emotion. My guess is ifFulmer would have waited to announce his departure til after that game, Ky would have won. They had the chance last year and blew it. If the streak was going to end, this is the prime time.
On the other hand, I'd love to see Cobb get a big steaming cup of STFU. He wants to beat us so bad and every year it ends in disappointment. It sure would be fun for him to end his career with Ky by not beating us just to rub it in for jumping ship.

I was actually at the game the last time Kentucky beat us. We were inside their 20 driving for the winning score and Tony Robinson threw the ball out of bounds as time expired.... 1984, I was 9.
