we said that when spurrier left, they hired zook, he beat us. he left, hired Meyer, he never lost to us. hired Muchamp, he never lost to us........
:banghead2:

We countered that by hiring a guy with a losing nfl record and then followed it up by hiring a guy with a losing college record.

Nothing here to read so I am not sure why I type. Anyone with any sense knows CBJ needs this win, last year is still in my gut, my wife made a comment today about doing some work in the house we just bought, I almost jumped out of my skin reminding her Nothing will be done tomorrow expect preparing for this game.. I have waited 364 days for this (give or take a day). I am no proponent of changing coaches now, that would be absurd, but if CBJ wants to provide a team.. a Rebirth of the Tradition at Tennessee, then he had better produce tomorrow, I am by his side whether he knows it or not. No matter the outcome... I will be cheering for team #119 to beat Arkansas next weekend, this is what I do.. I AM..... a Volunteer!

Go F...ing VOLS!

Overall, I think Tennessee has looked slightly better this year on the field (talent wise). It is still early to tell if Kentucky is all that great, so we haven't seen UF play against a unanimous Top 25.

Looking at the recruiting rankings for the past four years, Florida's JR & SR classes are better than UT's. The opposite is true for the FR & SO, but by a smaller margin.

I did not include the '11 class because there are few RS SR's on both squads (plus it was a wash at #12/#13)

'12
UF #4 UT #21

'13
UF #2 UT #29

'14
UF #6 UT #5

'15
UF #20 UT #5

That's the best I can come up with on talent. I'm just stubborn when it comes to giving a coach the 4/5 time frame for a true rebuild.

I'll give the nod to Florida, not by mile, but maybe a few hundred feet.

From which recruiting service are you getting Tennessee's class ranking for 2013? Rivals had us at #21 and 247 had us at #26....just curious.

It's like the Florida fans I've talked to have already conceded tomorrow. it's followed by a lot of "but next year, blah blah" but they know they are in trouble. Revolving QBs, new coach, suspensions, struggling with UK and ECU. They know. It's finally our time.

The only expectation is...win football games. You don't get much credit for recruiting class rankings, GPA, graduation rates, good cititizenship or good PR. Whether right or wrong. Hard not to count this this game more!!!

No. 2016 will.

We will have depth at all positions and he will be armed for every game on the schedule

You're right about depth but that didnt lose us the OK game. Depth will not be an issue tommorrow unless they drop like flies imo.

We're armed for every game on the schedule this year. There are only a handful of spots where we don't have quality froth.

No, he is defined by Oklahoma IMO. He wins tomorrow... great. Still got a long way to go. And I'm sick of hearing about how the team's goal is
improving 1% each and every day, when Butch is standing still.

No, because we have a ton of SEC games left including UGA and Bama. He could theoretically lose to the Gators and then go on to beat the Dawgs and the Tide and all the bi-polar fans would not know what to do with themselves. Let the season play out. I think we get it done today, but hell, when have you ever heard of going into the Swamp and things being easy? Their Defense is really good. Go Vols!
 
there's no appreciable talent advantage in this game. it's pretty even.
Offense to offense, we probably have the edge, defense to defense, they probably have the edge.

it's not like it's the 1995 or 1998 Vols are trotting out there tomorrow against this Gator team.

Agree. I think it's a tossup talent wise. Having said that I think we get the W today.
