I share your wishful thinking, but they gotta prove it first. I couldn’t even buy a beer when we won there last. (Legally)

I completely understand, but thus year just feels different. Joey hasn't been a vol long enough to be affected by the Florida curse. I think our offense will put on a clinic and keep momentum on the orange sideline.

Easily the weirdest Florida-Tennessee game I can remember. Florida fans don’t care, Tennessee fans don’t trust.

I’ll say this; if TN doesn’t win this game in the Swamp, they’ll never win a game in the Swamp. Everything is set up perfectly for you; fan apathy in Gainesville, nobody is hyped at all, and the home environment is usually a huge advantage. Beleaguered roster - down top 3 WR’s, injury list has been about 12 deep all year. Beleaguered coaching staff, already positioning for future jobs, already packing offices and homes. Emotional loss at Ole Miss, rivalry game next week vs FSU, the whole program is fixated on the coaching search, etc. And TN brings a pretty damn good team to town. Should be a fairly routine win for TN.

YOU don't care. YOU aren't hyped. This is a NIGHT GAME in the Swamp against the Tennessee Vols. The game is sold out.
UF can troll OM fans about Kiffin leaving, and get ready to talk **** to Vol fans in the stands, in the same week.
UF isn't supposed to win. But it's a rivalry game! Anything can happen.

We're at the point in the year where Jeff Sagarin's Numbers start to be reliable. He has UT at #19 with an 83.45 rating, and UF at #33 at 78.91. "Strong recent" is 81.69 to 76.64. This does not take into account home field, which gives UF another 3 points both ways. So 83.45 to 81.91, and 81.69 to 79.64.

In his game predictions, he has UT at 30.64 to 27.05. Run them all together, and it's a field goal game. Has UT at 52% to win.

UF is at home. We have Max Gilbert. And Tim Banks. And Willie Martinez. And our 2 best DB's out.

I think UT is the better team, but has too many holes in the armor belt, and makes at least one critical error on offense. This is UGA 2.0

I'll be here Sunday morning for that crow omelet if I'm wrong.

I appreciate this post. Maybe the juices will start flowing a little later in the week as the game draws near.
