Does anyone care?

Sorry to admit that I don't care much about the UK game. I have heard one too many euphemisms and catch phrases and seen precious little improvement in this team.

Some ppl just make it so easy to INGORE

Good luck against Wake, James...

Have been caring about every game since the Bill Battle days.

I care because it's Tennessee football, but I'm getting sick of watching the Kentucky game with this empty, hollow, and pointless feeling.

4-8 and 5-7 are so very close, getting this disastrous season over will be a blessing for fans, coaches and players

It's a bittersweet situation. Tennessee football is like having a bad girlfriend. You love her so much but all she does is break your heart.

I care about the game as I wouldn't bother watching if I didn't. With that said if I had to rank them over the last couple of decades this might be the least important.

Wrong. That failed fake field goal was like pumping adrenaline into Vandy. Plus they picked up a couple of first downs and flipped field position. Also, it's not one fake field goal this staff has made questionable decisions all year long.

I think there was more to it than just believing UT needed a TD there. I think the reason he went for the fake there is because something was wrong with Palardy that day, whether physical or mental, I don't know. But he couldn't get a kickoff into the endzone, hell, one of his kicks barely got inside the 20, and another only got to the 10. His punts all day were low, short, and wobbly. And he was 1 for 2 on prior FG attempts, having missed a short FG and barely made another short one after it bounced off the side bar. I don't think he had any faith in Palardy's ability that day to hit a FG in the 45 yd range. I don't think any coach just randomly decides to fake a FG on 4th and 19 nursing a 3-pt lead unless they believe their kicker has no chance of making the FG.

Then leave the offense on the field- maybe we luck out and complete a pass or get a def.holding call . That play had no chance as called,period.

Well said- you are a sharp, incisive fellow. Best analogy I have heard . We keep sticking our hand into the fire , hoping it wont burn us.

We're still living in the past by caring about teams that are good today that have lost 8 games in the past.

I would watch the game no matter what. Love my vols and can't get away from them. They are my drug of choice. The only time I have missed games were during my tours in Iraq. I planned my enlistment time frame for spring so I would be in AIT for fall. Spent every Saturday watching football while all my buddies got weekend passes to leave fort Sam Houston. Got out of the Army last year and made a vow to never miss another game. Go Big Orange !

It's hard to care but it is indeed important. We can get to two sec wins since 2010 I believe and an sec road win. Also a loss going into the offseason would just suck. You are Vol fans! We expect the players to get up and motivated for this one so we should do the same. Go Vols! I wanna win em all regardless of implications. A win would be better than a loss ANYDAY

Would 2 sec wins be considered improvement?

I care. I hope the team cares. They don't want to be the team to lose to Kentucky twice in 3 years AND finally lose 8 games..

Every game is important, no matter the circumstances. Not to mention that if we lose, Ohio state will then be the only team to never lose 8 games in a season. There's a lot at stake here. More than one might originally think.

Well stated. I'm still pissed about the performance during the Vandy game, but I'm still invested in this team.
