Greg Roberts is a guest on the George Lapides Show here in Memphis and he runs some kind of betting service. He is a guest every Friday to talk about the college and NFL games for the weekend.

He picked USC by 2 TDs or at best a 17-7 type game.

Sadly, he might be right.

Sounds about right to me unfortunately.

On another note, Lapides is still on the air? That ole coot was barely coherent 7 years ago when I was in Memphis, I can't believe they still let him choke up the airwaves.

would a person running a betting service have any interest in pushing people one direction over another? Sounds like a global warming report coming from Exxon HQ

Yes he has reduced his hours on the air but he is still on. I can't stand listening to him but he has a couple of guests during the week that I like to hear. Greg Roberts and Jimmy Sexton are the main two. Even worse is that his radio partner now is Dave Woloshin, aka the Ultimate Homer.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit to see South Carolina win this game by 10 to 14 points.

The Gamecocks still have many of their season goals in front of them...Tennessee has nothing other than pride to play for.

And, if reports on the Hamilton/Sexton/Fulmer meeting earlier this week are true, I find it hard to believe that UT's coaching staff had it's best effort this week in terms of film study and game prep. South Carolina has had 2 full weeks to prepare for this game, and I doubt Tennessee had a very crisp and efficient week of practice.

I hope the Vols prove me wrong.

It wouldn't surprise me if SC does win this game...

However, I do think Tennessee will keep it close, I think it will be a defensive battle just like the LSU/SC game.

It will be about which offense steps up to ultimately win the game, will it be Tenn or will it be SC? Of course with our offense, it's obvious to think SC, but SC's inconsistency with QB is just as bad as the consistently bad offense of Tenn.

Neither team runs the ball well, so it will all come down to the passing of the qb and/or the defenses getting picks to run for scores.

FG kickers for both teams are just as inconsistent.

So Tenn's Defense will win the game if they step up when they should.

This program has fallen on some hard times if carolina beats us by two touchdowns. A team vanderbilt absolutely owned ealier this year.

Tennessee (3-5) at South Carolina (5-3): One team will be excited about playing this game (South Carolina).The other (Tennessee) can’t be too fired up with all of the controversy surrounding the job status of coach Phillip Fulmer. It’s going to be a low scoring game as the offenses are ranked 79th and 112th and the defenses are 14 (Tennessee) and four (South Carolina). The way Tennessee’s offense is playing right now, the Volunteers might not score unless the defense forces turnovers. South Carolina 17, Tennessee 7.

Sad isn't it? :cray: But SC always seem to find the way to lose to Tenn...hoping for the same tomorrow.

I'm picking USC by a score of 23-16. I will also predict that there will be a game this year where the wheels will completly fall off and the Vols will give in. If you look closely, you will notice that some of these cracks are appearing. My point is, the possibility exists that USC could bury us if things begin to go badly for us (ex. turnovers, poor special teams play, etc.).

That could definitely happen, but I don't see SC's offense doing that on their own, so it would have to be because of all of those mistakes.

My exact thoughts to a T. I couldn't have articulated it any better.

I expect us to look lethargic and ill-prepared. The swirling rumors are undoubtedly a distraction and Spurrier has had 2 weeks of preparation... and a lot more motivation. It could get ugly.

Hey guys, Gamecock fan here. It will be a very close game. We don't do blow outs. It will be a 3 to 7 point game, flip your coin as to who wins it.
