Spying Grier on 4th and 14 was all Jancek. I like to think that Butch fired him for that reason. Oh, and because he did it against UGA again just a few weeks later.

I don't think Butch had a problem with the play call. We didn't blitz on any of UF's 4th downs that game. It happening again against UGA shows that Butch and Janeck didn't see a problem with it. Randolph saved Butch's job with that play

100% agree with the untimely turnover. We'll be up by 21 with 5 min in the game. 1st down from our own 20. Dobbs will drop back and try to throw a deep ball. Receivers will be jammed up and Dobbs won't see the DE that beat our LT starting his first game (the alternate is we'll start a horrible LT up to this point but after giving up 3 sacks in this game he'll finally be benched) drills Dobbs, ball pops free and UF recovers for a score. McElwain gambles with an onside kick and recovers in. Everyone in the stadium knows UF is about to score 17 more unanswered

I don't believe in curses, but something is going on. This has become like some kind of angels in the outfield vibe going. Losing 11 in a row to the gators, that's a steaming pile of baloney.


Jump higher Vols.

That moment when Ralphie finally snaps on Scut Farkus in 'A Christmas Story' and kicks his ass.

There's gonna be a whole lot of pent up retribution taken out in this game and I hope Butch doesn't call off the dogs too soon! Go Vols!

Butch firing Jancek suggests that he had problems with a lot of things Jancek did.

Talent wise I'm 110% confident

Game management and decision making and everything between the ears...less than 50%. Seen to much stupid in last 10 yrs.

We are more talented than them, have more experience, are better coached, play at home, and are due for a win. Therefore, I pick the Gators.

That has probably been said about them several times over the last few years. They have not recruited very well on the OL or at DT the last two cycles so they will lack quality depth in these positions, not just this year, but next year as well.

This is definitely the game that is in our teams head, especially since we've had them beat the last two years, and wet the bed. That being said what do you thing the odds are that we end the 11 game losing streak to the gators? We will more than likely be favorites and the game is in Knoxville.

Let me see if I have this straight. You are curious now, in early April, about the confidence of FANS, not players, about a game that takes place in late September?

Seems to me, and solely because you mentioned it, you may be the one with a bed wetting problem.

You know last year they got a OL and DL that were both ranked in the top 10 of overall recruits. Also their OL was hot garbage last year and we couldn't get to their QB at all. Well that may be due to us not really blitzing a red shirt freshman with a patchwork OL...oh god last year was an embarrassment of defensive play calling

Going on nothing but what I read from quotes of some of our team's leaders, there are no teams in our kids heads. Most of these kids since they've signing all the way to getting on the field consistently talk and seem to be focused on a NC. The Gators are in the heads of us fans not team 120 IMO.

0% chance we win right now. after we beat them 100%. I can't talk about that right now...too painful.

I personally feel you guys beat both UF and Bama next season but if you could only choose one-which would it be?

UF seems more for breaking the streak sake but Bama could be for a playoff spot.

I will take a one point win,but man if we get up on them I wish Coach Jones would keep his foot on the gas and blow their sorry butts back to Gainesville.... GO VOLS!!!!!

Time for my annual post regarding this matter.

We don't beat FLA till we beat FLA. Till then, we are the underdog, they hold the cards and the advantage.

According to Rivals:

The last two years Florida has signed 8 three-star offensive linemen, and one five star offensive linemen. That's a 3.2 star average per player over the last two years, or a little better than mid-major.

The last two years Tennessee has signed 3, three-stars, 4, four-stars, and 1, five-star offensive linemen. That is a 3.75 star average per player, or pretty much where a championship level D-1 school should be.

The last two years Florida has signed 2, Three-star Defensive tackles...that's it. Once again, that is mid major level recruiting at that position. They have done ok at DE though. To factor DE into the whole equation though, Florida has signed 2, two-stars, 2, three-stars, and 2, five stars. Total defensive line average star rating is 3.3 stars per player.

Tennessee on the other hand has signed 1, three-star, 4, four-stars, and 3, five-star defensive linemen during that same time period for an average of 4.25 stars per player. That is a ridiculous amount of talent along the DL for the Vols.

In short, the next two years Tennessee greatly outclasses Florida along the lines of scrimmage.

Tennessee got pressure last year, but mysteriously backed off during crucial situations like 4 and long.
