UK in Rupp, no TBA?

Yeah because Noel was going to score 30 points...and we weren't without Maymon...all year

I still think we would have won regardless because we played a near flawless game, but Noel wouldn't have to score 30 to have made a difference. His defensive presence alone was disruptive enough to erase opponents' points as well.

OP, where exactly have you been?

I'd rather the Vols play home and aways with anyone else than the jacked up pathetic excuse for a gym Vandy has. Too much home cooking with the whistle blowers and the place is just.....ugly.

You had been without Maymon the whole year, plenty of time to adjust.

We were without Noel for less than a week, and zero games. I've said this a million times...If we had Noel, no way we lose by 30. Maybe we lose, but not by 30. The wheels fell off without Noel.

We would have still won that game with Noel playing but it sure did make going into the paint much easier.

Here is ESPN's take on the new schedule...

''The SEC’s natural rivals are mostly easy to select. Some are obvious like Ole Miss-Mississippi State, Auburn-Alabama and Tennessee-Vanderbilt. But ironically the one school that may not have a perfect match is Kentucky. If you put Georgia with Florida, Texas A&M with LSU and Missouri with Arkansas then it leaves Kentucky with South Carolina. The easier thing to do is to marry Kentucky and Florida, as has been the case for TV of late as the rivalry game in the SEC, and just put Georgia with South Carolina. Pitting Kentucky and Florida together makes the most sense because it links the two most dominant programs in the league lately. And it ensures that both schools will get two quality in-conference RPI games. ''
