As I started thinking about the UGA game coming up I could not help but realize how important this weekend is for our program and our fanbase. A few thoughts:

* The crowd will be electric like the days of old this weekend. First SEC home game and a game with a lot at stake. Add to that the fact it's a night game and this has all the makings for an atmosphere that will resemble the good ol' days.

* This game means a lot for us THIS season. A win Saturday and we are 4-1 and looking strong for a possible 8+ wins. MTSU, Vandy and UK seem to look like wins and SC is looking more beatable by the week. Plus, this would be what you would call a "signature win" for Dooley and the program for where we are right now. A win Saturday changes the mood of a lot of people who have interest in this program.

* This game means a lot for us for FUTURE seasons. This is one of our biggest recruiting weekend as far as OV's go and with the anticipated excitement surrounding this game added with a solid outing, we could have more verbals as soon as Sunday or Monday and names that would excite pretty much all on this board. This also gets the Vols in the national discussion again as a team on the rise with a win Saturday.

* Tyler Bray can be a household name after Saturday night. Sure Bray is discussed in the media and has been praised for the most part but don't you get frustrated when all of that is said and then you hear "but all of that has come against questionable competition." A big game against perceived " solid competition" and Bray can no longer be held hostage to the schedule he has played.

* Hobnail Boots can be brought back out for use again. How fitting would it be that the same venue that put Mark Richt on the map could also be the site of his final stand as head coach for the Dawgs. 10 years since that infamous game in 2001 we can be the school responsible for putting more pressure on UGA's administration than any other to this point. And to have a Dooley on the sidelines responsible for it would be even sweeter. I love the town of Athens but it might not survive i they lose this weekend.

Can't you just feel a perfect storm coming? I mean from 2008 until now we have endured much as a fanbase. Even now that we seem to have solid leadership in place with an AD and coach, we still have yet to have that defining moment that leads us to believe things are changing for the better and for the better longterm. This weekend can be that moment!

Let's all get behind our team and do our part to help make Saturday night in Neyland a night to remember in Tennessee and " the night the lights went out in Georgia" for our opponent.

GO VOLS!!!!!!!!!!

Amen bro, summed up the crossroads of this game well. I will be there and don't plan on leaving with my voice intact. This team needs us bad to be their extra weapon. They are talented but young and this night game will be HUGE!

if we beat Georgia it is not nor shall it ever be consider a signature win for Dooley. a big win yes for the team,a signature win is beating lsu the next week and or beating bama the next. lsu and bama are the only 2 chances Dooley has left to get a signature win this season.

UGA has the advantage in most every phase of the game...(QB is a draw in my opinion). However, they lack the one key to make this game a lock for them. They have Russ and not UGA. They can't win big games with Russ. Russ is pathetic and weak. UT has Smokey and there is a good chance he might actually assault Russ if given the chance. Let's hope the Vols are as aggressive and the DAWGs as soft and pathetic.

Yeah, not really a "signature" win, but this is definitely one that, in my opinion, we MUST win if we are going to be able to say that we are continuing to move in the right direction.

With a win, no one can say that we're just getting by against JV opponents.

With a loss, no one can really say that we're doing anything besides wallowing in the same mediocrity that was present in Fulmer's last days as coach.

Gotta win this one to send a message - to the recruits, to the fans, and (yes) to ESPN and the rest of the country that the Volunteers are really on the way back. The Florida game was a step in the wrong direction (yes, I know Florida is pretty good and that we lost our top WR, but was still yet another face-plant by our team when it mattered most ... I won't even talk about our recent string of bowl game debacles).

Let's go, Vols! Bring home a win!!!!!!

The only advantage ga may have is special teams. Bray is the best QB in the SEC.

Outstanding posy OP. Bring out those Hopbnail Boots they railed on and on about. They are beatable. We have to play our best on both side of the ball. Sic em Smoky!

Great post OP.

At this point of the teams development, I would call Georgia or USCe signature wins. Bama or LSU would be extraordinary monumental "tear the goal posts down" win. IMO

We need this game more than Georgia. You hear just about everytime how it's the other team that needs it. Save Richt's job rah rah rah. He's had ten plus years to be mediocre, so he's about out of time.

This game is big for Tennessee because frankly they need to beat a half way decent SEC team at some point. It's been a while. Dooley needs to have them boys jacked up to pay back the Dawgs. Just don't let Eric Gordon field any punts and we might be alright.
