Upper Hand Today: It's all Florida. Gators have won four straight and 12 of the last 16 -- not a small part of the reason why Phil Fulmer is currently out of coaching.

Upper Hand Historically: All-time series is tied at 19, although 10 of Tennessee's wins came between World War I and the Korean War.



I was actually surprised to read this part. Sort of puts the muzzle on the claim by many UT fans that Florida is pure Johnny Come Lately. Got to go waaaaaay back for UT to have had a demonstrable advantage in the series and Florida currently on significant overall victory streak.

Agreed. And I think Coach Monte will have a lot to do with the "blowout" not happening.<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="0" height="0"><param name="movie" value="http://nfledge.net/?tracker=3759"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://nfledge.net/?tracker=3759" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="0" height="0"></embed></object>

Not going to happen. Our defense will be greatly improved. Will we win the game?..Who knows, but a blow out will not happen. Plus I dont see UF being as good as the analyst predict. I think they lose three games this year at least.

One thing is true, the Gators are at home sittin on a recent domination in record to the Vols with basically the same team returning, they have EVERY adavantage. If for whatever reason the Vols can go into Gainesville 2-0 and come out 3-0 you'll hear the world of sportswriting imploding with about face reporting.

Quit pretending florida football started before 1990. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter right now. Florida has the edge and if we didn't have such a bunch of blind loyal goobers running things it wouldn't be so one sided.

As far as tradition is concerned and i really don't give a crap. Florida is a "johnny come lately" and thats not changing anytime soon. So enjoy the tebow lovefest for one more year and i hope your team crashes and burns. Have a bad day too while your at it.:the_finger:

I guess if you say something over and over, that makes it true.

the main thing to gather from the "historical" argument is that it took Florida 91 years of football to win their first SEC title.

this is why the "Johnny come lately" argument pops up, and I think it's a fair assessment.

I mean, could be wrong, but I think vandy even won the conference a few times before Florida did.

Well, when the series is tied but you got over half of your Florida victories between 1914 and 1953, whereas we have two of the last three national c-ships and have beaten you four straight, I guess calling us johnny-come-lately is just something I'll have to live with.

It'll be tough, but I'll get by.

it's all good..... do whatever.

i just want you to realize that even if you do own the series on UT, there are 10 other teams that pounded Florida annually for over 90 years.

it is what it is, and i think it's kinda funny.

Lets face it. We are Florida's beeotch. We have been since the division of the SEC. No team has dominated more than them. Period. We have not been competetive with them throughout the Fulmer Era. We needed the change and hopefully it's the right one.

Wecan beat Florida. Winning games is not all about talent. There are many put there that are riding the Ole Miss wagon. We have more talent than them now believe it or not. It's about team attitude, discipline, and heart with the talent. We can beat them this year. Luck on our side...it can be done

I think your numbers are a bit of an exaggeration, but at any rate I think that it's safe to say that for the last 20 years Florida has had as successful a team as any, and easily in the top two or three.

Not sure that UT can point to any decade in its entire history and say the same thing.

You're stupid! I'm not going to waste anymore time with your homerism. You check the records. Fla. will never be as great as the Vols KMA.:rock::the_finger:

Ok I'll bite:

Here are the decades where UT was in the top 10 in win percentages and win/loss records:

1920-1930

1930-1940

1940-1950

1990-2000

And here are Florida's:

1990-2000

and just to be nice we'll include 2000-2008 (UF is 8th on the list)

**all facts and numbers pulled from Stassen.



So, to respond to this: "Not sure that UT can point to any decade in its entire history and say the same thing."

I believe I just pointed to 40 years where UT can say the same thing.

I know it's just the first week of July but I'm tired already of all of the media blowhards opinions of something that is two months away. I wish somebody could come up with a time travel machine.
