Tennessee ignores Gators' chatter, aims to end 11-game losing streak in rivalry - Orlando Sentinel
There really is no reason Jones' Vols should not make the next step as a program, beginning with a win against Florida. Early Las Vegas betting lines favor the Vols by nine points.
But Jones did not have to look beyond a packed ballroom Tuesday to realize how far the Vols have come.
"I remember standing up here at the podium three short years ago, and the room was half filled and nobody was talking about Tennessee football," he said. "That's why you play, is to be in a program like the University of Tennessee where everybody is talking about you. That's what you work for.
"Now it's what you do with that opportunity."
Well 2016 is as good as any I suppose. How satisfying will this victory be? It will be 95 Bama level for me.
