Who is the pressure on the most?

There is a 517-pound orange gorilla on UK's back, if my math is correct.

Yes. You can add.

and last time I checked UK was already bowl eligible, had a winning season, and upset USCjr. This makes their season a success. Therefore NO pressure is on UK.

There is no pressure. There are no consequences aside from an emotional roller-coaster.
If Kentucky wins however, I will probably never be able to show my face at work again.
I'll more than likely have to quit my job... Give up all the niceties.
No Pressure.

I agree I live in KY and work with all UK grads and if we don't win it will be hard to go to work Monday. Either way I'm still proud to be aVol in UK country

IMO when you lose to a team 25 straight times after about the 10th there is no pressure you just got to go play you got nothing to lose. Pressure is on the Vols this weekend.

I think it's the exact opposite.

Everyone's talking about the streak.

No one is talking about Kentucky being 6-5 or the year that Hartline is having.

we also kept our streak of being one of only two programs I beleive to never lose 8 games in a season.

Not that I think it will happen... If we lost to Kentucky but still made a bowl at 5-7, and then lost that bowl game... we would finish 5-8. I really think there is no chance of that happening, but that distinction isn't in the bag just yet.

UK. UT was/is projected to finish below KY in the SEC. UK's pressure is to finally end the streak, do it at our house, and keep UT below them in the SEC. Plus they know this is the best chance ever to beat us as we're depleted, frosh infected, injury ridden, shorthanded, and somewhat demoralized. Another pressure is realization our program is heading for a resurgence so it's now or never.
As for our Vols they're looking for more of this: :loco:

My thinking was that it is always easier to just maintain the status quo. If Kentucky loses, no one will be surprised, even the players.

You can call me an over optimistic homer at the start of the season. But I don't even see this being as close as predicted. close early but by half way thru the third, a route ensues. the football gods will put things back in balance in the sec. so it is written! so let it be done!
