Forget that - irrelevant
I saw the segment. He said something else that was much more significant I thought. He said based on what he has seen he thought it was possible the team (UT players) have been looking ahead to this game since June and that would go a long way to explaining what has been viewed as unimpressive performances so far this season. He said he wouldn't be surprised to see UT clicking on all cylinders Saturday afternoon.
Everybody in the sports world is going to use this game to try to get folks attention so they can sell advertising. This guy made a good point - something I thought had merit. Meanwhile Greg McElroy is saying Appleby's experience at the big house and at the horseshoe will have him well prepared for Neyland. Only problem is Purdue never played either of those teams either home or away while Appleby was on the roster. McElroy is apparently just another lazy sports pundit.
