I don't really care what the score is. It means it is football season and all of the crap going on right now will be behind us. Go Vols!!!

Its hard to make a prediction now, but hopefully it will be a win. It could be a big momentum builder with Florida coming to town after that.

I hate this game... on the road in front of 250,000,000 people at Neyland stadium. I don't have much faith in Masoli after the Rose Bowl, he choked straight up.

Did you see our chic fil a fiasco? I wouldn't lose much sleep if I were you.

If you believe the recruiting services have any idea what they are talking about, then man for man, Tennessee is more talented than Oregon.

The problem is, Oregon has about 20 more scholarship players than Tennessee right now, and they have a lot of coaching continuity.

If Tennessee had any kind of QB, I would pick Tennessee in this one, but I just can't believe that Nick Stephens or a true freshmen QB are going to be good enough to win this one against an aggressive oregon team.

We're a different team away from Autzen... our best wins: USC, Utah, Cal, Oregon State, were all at home. All three of our losses were away games. I'm just not sure how the team will react being all the way over in Tennessee in front of 3 billion people at Neyland. Our stadium is really loud, but it's only because of the way it's built, not because of crowd size like at Tenn.

We have as much talent as anyone at the skill positions, and we have 20 of 22 starters returning. But our line play is weak, and our defensive coordinator likes rolling the dice with blitzes. This could go either way, I feel better about the USC game than I do about this one because most of players are from SoCal, and they're sued to the Coliseum.

It's a toss-up...really depends on who shows up to play. Who's hungry.

Well I hope you are right. I know that we will come out ready to play and I hope Oregon does too. I'm thinking Oregon will probably be a pre-season top 5 team, but I think this UT team will have a major chip on it's shoulder. This should be an outstanding game, I just hope we have the horses to hang offensively. It will all depend on the QB and O-line.

What is it about UT's roster that makes some of you guys think we have a chance vs. Top 10 Oregon?

Stephens at QB? 4 new offensive line starters? A 3rd new offensive system in 3 years? A "big fish" defensive coordinator? A head coach with a 17-20 record in the WAC?

Even getting to a bowl game next year is going to be no small task.

I don't know if we do or not, but I sure hope that our players do.

Oregon will be favored and should be favored, but they're going to have to come and beat us.

I confidently predict Oregon will have the ugliest uniforms on the field. No doubt. Take it to the bank.

5-2 Oregon. The fans lose, both teams lose (one morally, one outright), the only winners are ESPN and whoever bought ads during the game. The VolTron also screws up and shows test bars the entire game.

I expect Oregon to win but Im hoping Neyland is rocking like it never has before. Our stadium has become stagnant over the last couple of years. I know we are not great like in the past but we have to many people just sitting on their ass doing nothing.

I will take a hit for the team... I will put $ on Oregon. This will ensure that the ducks lose because I never win. You can thank me later.

oregon sucks away from autzen and they have a lot of big road games next year. i wouldn't be suprised in the slightest if they have a disapointing season.
