Florida will usually have a stronger football program than TN. It's called ATHLETES!!!! They will almost ALWAYS have a better roster than UT because it's talent rich state! LOADED LOADED LOADED state when it comes to high school athletes.

They will most certainly have an upper hand until some other in-state schools <<ahem--Miami, FSU>>> start to compete with them for these blue chip athletes.

Right now, if you want to win, they are the only choice in the state.

So do UF fans say they should have beaten us in 98, 01, and 2004?

98, there's not even a question.

Everyone remembers the game.....but, no one remembers the game...lol. I don't think Tennessee had 10 first downs in that game.

2004 was an even game. Could have gone either way. The kick at the end probably only happened because the extra point was missed. Fulmer may have taken a knee and gone into overtime if they didn't have to score on the final drive.

2001. Tennesse deserved to win.

And I will acknowledge that Florida had no business winning in 2000 and that has nothing to do with Gaffney.

Some of these other years, it's an argument of who sucked more. Should Tennessee have won in 2014? Well, Tennessee certainly didn't do anything to win it. And Florida tried like hell to give it away. So, games like that, I can't say one team or the other "should have won"

I’m just glad we have been using the vanilla scheming and playbook and are about to break out the real playbook and throttle the Gators 🐊

The 98 game was really decided in the first eight minutes. UF had the ball inside the Tennessee 5 yard line twice, and only came away with three points. If they score two touchdowns and go up 14-0, that would have been a tough hill for Tennessee to climb.

Disagree about 2006, 2012, and 2017. I would put those more in a “could have” beaten them category. The rest I agree with.

Actually, Tennessee DID beat them in 2006. A garbage roughing the passer call wiped out the game-sealing pick 6. Justin Harrell grazed Leak’s helmet with his hand trying to bat down the ball. Never seen that called roughing the passer before or since. Happens 3-4 times a game.
