Even after the debacle on the Hill last Saturday there are still those that think we will "shock the world". Maybe we should rename Neyland and call it "The People's Temple." Seriously, guys we are headed into the most hostile environment in college football to play a game against a team that has won 2 national championships in 4 years. Did I mention that they have the best player in college football at the most important position? I was over at rivals and could not believe how many people still think we have a chance to win. Its almost embarrassing to be honest. Look, I love the Vols and I have witnessed some amazing upsets in my time, the 86 Sugar Bowl comes to mind. No one said we had a chance then, but that crowd was decidedly pro-vols and electric. We wont have that emotional lift this go around. I want us to win, but honestly, we dont have a chance. I want us to show some heart, to play hard to the end and never give up no matter what the score may be. If we can do that, then I think CLK will have done his job in his first visit to the swamp.

Agree, 100%. Some people on here are just setting themselves up for disappointment. The game is what it is, if you know that going into it then it will be more enjoyable to watch.

Optimism. Give it a try. These are 18-22 year old kids. if we could predict what was going to happen, it wouldn't be fun.

What's wrong with sitting back, enjoying the game and irrationally hoping for the best?

I'll be satisfied if we have a good game plan, the defense plays to their potential, and we can keep the offense on the field long enough to keep the defense effective in the 4th quarter.

I expect Crompton to struggle, and I expect to lose by 3 touchdowns. I'm as pollyanna optomistic as they come, but I'm realist too.

Come on Rex, you're a man of God....You gotta believe buddy

Although I do tend to agree with you, there is always a chance and that being said if we do win this place will be estatic

I will start the day the same way I always do: Tennessee gear on, flag out, house open to other fans, beer & wings, optimism in tow, mad at the refs for bad calls, and convinced we'll win. Otherwise, I just don't wanna do it.

It's ridiculous to say that rex. As long as they haven't changed the rules of college football, and give the gators three footballs to throw around we both have an equal chance to win.
