UCLA over Tennessee
Wow, how soon we forget last season. The Vols (5-7 a year ago) put a whipping on Western Kentucky last week and now they're double-digit favorites against this class of opponent? Double digits because those who put their money where their mouth is have bet the Vols from -7 to -10. Unreal. Granted, big road wins haven't been UCLA's forte in recent years, but this is one of the faster defenses in the country and the Bruins didn't allow a thing in the second half last week against San Diego State. UCLA's offense won't be the stumbling mess it was last year now that Kevin Prince is at QB. So, what you have here is a Tennessee team that is combining its coach's outlandish behavior and last week's rout of nobody into a perception that's not in line with current reality. By the way, UCLA enters with the confidence of knowing it beat Tennessee last season despite playing horribly. Rick Neuheisel and Norm Chow vs. the Kiffins. This should be fun.
Line: Tennessee -10

Unreal??! What's unreal is how this journalist has a job. I hope he put money on the Bruins. He clearly didn't watch the WKY game and has failed to realize that the Bruins are flying 3 time zones over to play in one of the most hostile enviorments in college football.

And the main argument is QB Kevin Prince?! Facing a defense that was #3 in the nation last year; now with Monte Kiffin at the helm?!

Put your money on UCLA, suckers!

Fox can't even get their fantasy site to work. I don't think Fox sports people are all that efficient.

Consider the source. The man works for Fox, which means he answers to Rupert :crazy: Murdoch. Rupert Murdoch's not only a foreigner, he's nuttier than Al :crazy: Davis.

UCLA will be seeing a lot of this:

Journalists have a very short memory. If they were good at predicting games with spreads they wouldn't be a journalist..

WOWWWW! Not only did they pick UCLA over our Tennessee, but Houston, yes Houston, OVER #5 Oklahoma State!!!! UGA honestly got dominated in many facets last Saturday and there is no way Houston is even close to Georgia's talent level! That, coupled with the mere thought of an UCLA upset, deems Foxsports straight ignorant!

Why does everyone here think that UT is some powerhouse simply for laying it on WKU???

UCLA most definitely has the potential to play UT close and even, gasp, beat UT in front of one of the largest, yet least hostile, crowds in college football. UT has not exactly dominated at home in the way that LSU and Florida have. A big crowd does not always lead to instant intimidation, see Michigan.

I look forward to the reaction in this forum when the Vols finally lose a game under Kiffin, either this week or next week.

I did not mince my words. I look forward to reading this forum when most of the posters have come down from the clouds. Realistically, the UCLA game is a toss up. Florida should be a loss. It is one thing to be hopeful, it is another thing to display the sort of ignorant arrogance that is being flaunted in the football forum, and has been for the past week. Humility will do the UT fanbase a lot of good.

When Georgia crushed Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl, the national media fell in love with UGA and made them a National Championship contender the following year. These forums were filled with posts stating that it was Hawaii...what is the big deal? Well, now the UT fan base has tasted the Kool-Aid from beating WKU. Is there much of a difference? If and when we put the hurt on a team that actually matters, then I will eat crow.

How will humility help a fanbase? This level of ignorant arrogance you mention isn't anywhere close to the way you couch it. It's fans being fans. Sure, we have our contingent of absolute idiots, but everyone else does too. How is humility going to address that?

The excitement here isn't remotely about beating WKU. It's about a clear departure from the sorriness that was the Fulmer regime. It's about an attitude of toughness. It's about a new approach to football and player accountability. It's about building for the future. It's about being better prepared. It's about knowing the team has done what it should over the course of the week. It's about progress.

Hell, if it's humility in football conversations you're after, Army and Vandy have boards as well. I think you might find that you're disappointed by those conversations.
