Late 60s early 70s. In 67 we opened the season Sept 16, in 68 Sept 14. NCAA added an extra regular season game in 70?. We played regular season games in Dec for a few years before moving to an earlier start.

7 days and a "Night Before the Game Admittedly Off Topic Thread" + a wake up with Yankee's "Official Game Day" thread.


Oct 24, 2015 @ Tuscaloosa
VS: Alabama (rolltide.com)
HC: Nick Saban (9th Season)
2014 Results: 12-2 (Lost Sugar Bowl)
NOTE: Oh,No! A QB Named COOPER Bateman
NSD: #1 (247)
SoS: #04

Being born and raised in TENNESSEE, and for 53 years now, I've BLED ORANGE. I dislike everything associated with Alabama! The color crimson, red tide, roll tide, ebb tide, elephants, tide laundry soap, I dislike it all.

This year, I feel a disturbance in the force, an ora and an era of positive happenings for our beloved TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS! This is going to be an exciting game, one I do believe we can win.

Call me a homer, call me a sunshine pumper, BUT don't call me while this game is on. Even my wife knows not to mess with me on this day.

MV's LINE: VOLS +3 (a contradiction I know, but stats are stats)

Online VN: ?????? (Mr. Scott's voice) "I've given you all the power she's got, Captain Freak!"

Tune into PAUL FINEBAUM SHOW on Monday, you won't want to miss all the fans on the phone from I dont give a damn, Alabama.

!!!!!!!!Let's TROLL BAMA!!!!!!!!!!!


Tomorrow: UK is on deck.

I can't help but wonder about players from O and D with the same #'s if there will ever be some conflict on special teams. I'm sure the coaches have thought about all this. Just thinking out loud. Do other teams allow this?

Absolutely.

Love the Pick'em contest. Can't wait!

Sorry for being a little early with this post, but I'm planning on sleeping in tomorrow.

6 days and a "Night Before the Game Admittedly Off Topic Thread" + a wake up with Yankee's "Official Game Day" thread.


Oct 31, 2015 @ Lexington
VS: Kentucky Wildcats (thecatsdomain.com)
HC: Mark Stoops (3rd Year)
2014 Results: 5-7, 2-6
NOTE: Using Jacob Hyde (DL) and
CJ Conrad (TE) as full backs (Spring)
NSD: #40 (247)
SoS: #05

As Florida is to Tennessee,
Tennessee is to Kentucky.
Rather they admit it or not, this is one of their biggest games of each year and 2015 shall be no different.


Mark Stoops is 0-2 against the Vols and to win this one would be a giant feather in his cap and a huge bump for their program.

My stats say this game is dead even. IMO, what will be key to this game, other than the normal factors, it will matter what happened in last weeks game against the Tide. IF Tennessee loses to Bama, then Tennessee will beat the Cats. However, if the Vols pull the upset against Bama, we all could be still hungover, to include the team, come out flat and lose to the Cats. This will be a game week call, but right now......

MV's LINE: -DEAD EVEN-
VN Online: 7,200
