18 years of suckitude have made me permanently calm before a Tennessee game. I have my cup on, fully expecting another Vol Cup Check Moment.

Hope I'm wrong.

That' s kind of where I'm at. I had to come to a point where I realized no amount of me sweating , stressing , and wishing was going to affect the game in any way. So I started looking at it as if I'm watching 2 other teams playing. Like if I was watching Texas and Oklahoma or OSU and Michigan. Seriously, it's insane the amount of unhealthy stress someone can pile up the week before a UT-UF game. Especially the night before and morning of.

The buildup to this game has damn near given me a panic attack. I want this win so bad I can taste it. Please Oh Please let us get the W today. I hate the gators so much. It's almost a irrational hate. Go Big Orange

It's taking a lot of control not to fall into the media hype this week. I don't think they have thrown so much love in Tennessee's way at any point in the current media era.

I wonder if they really believe what they're saying , or if they're hyping it up for clicks. There's probably few matchups in cfb that generate views like Florida/Tennessee.

It's definitely a different feeling from the Alabama game. We want to beat Alabama, but it's not the same sort of rage. I think Florida is now public enemy #1.

I had to do home projects just to keep my mind off the game for a while. Only two beers in so not quite FL ready. Might need a shot of Jack. Go Vols!!!!

It would be nice to jump on them early and not take foot off gas! But this years Pitt game comes to mind. I hope it isn't a down to last drive type game. My nerves can't take it either partner lol

Oklahoma 2015 was a similar feeling to me. I do get what you are saying though and something feels different this time.

I thought about Oklahoma, but by that point I had no real faith that Jones was going to be the guy to get us back to the top. The last time I had any real feeling that we had a shot for something was with Kiffin, but unfortunately we got him a decade and a half too soon.

100%. In 2016, UT was down 21-3….a nice and smooth complete game domination would be preferred.
