Nobody said anything about "bowing down" to anybody. I always expect our guys to play hard and compete and win the games they're favored in and occasionally win the games they're not. But I had no expectation, for example, that our guys would go out to Oregon a couple years ago and win.....and after Oregon went on a 59-0 run, I'd say my expectation was pretty fair, wouldn't you?

You should stop being a fan then.

I snuck a peak at that game back in 2012 eventhough I wasn't following the team as intently as I do now and I still expected them to win.

After we went up 7-0 I became even more confident. Too bad we couldn't pull it off.

"Too bad we couldn't pull it off"???? Dude, we scored on the opening drive.....and then Oregon went on a freaking 59-0 run in 2.5 quarters. Did you "peek" long enough to realize that? If Oregon hadn't pulled Mariota and the other staters, the run would've easily been 80-0. Even at 59-14 it was the worst loss in program history. It looked a state champion highschool team vs a middle school JV team. I never would've thought I'd ever witness a Tennessee team get throttled like that....ever.

But hey, thanks for suspending your "I'm boycotting pulling for/following Tennessee because they suck" campaign all those days ago. Awfully big of you.

just wondering who thinks its close

10 point win

or absolute blowout

cant help but notice the confidence which ill admit is for a reason youve recruited well and return dobbs, kamara, hurd on offense

plus barnett, jrm, sutton, and quite a few youngsters that should get better like kirkland, tuttle, mckenzie, phillips etc

wr are stacked with talent too but zach azzanni kind of sucks almost like muschamp wr coaches

10+ win

Please don't go to the game.

We don't need people with negative energy like you polluting the atmosphere when we destroy Florida this year.

What about the past 11 years do you not understand? I'm a Vol fan through and through, season tickets and all. And I hope you're right. I hope we destroy them. But the reality of this series does not escape me. We've lost the last two where we should have taken them behind the woodshed. Several other times in this one sided series we were "supposed" to be the better team on paper. How has that worked out for us? ONE. MORE. TIME...We don't beat FLA till we beat FLA.

florida is starting an inexperienced, journeyman QB, has big issues on the oline, wide receiver, and RB, and a bunch of gaps on D. UT will win this game easily!!! Lay the money and bet the house!!

Unfortunately, UT is starting a QB that has never beaten UF (though he couldn't have done much more last year) and has a coach that is 0-3 vs UF.

UT should win this game.... but they should have won the last two.

Ok, here it goes.

1. This class rankings stuff is great and all, but I don't care where they were rated coming out of high school, Muschamp's offensive signees are as useless as air brakes on a pregnant turtle. As I have said previously, at some point you judge players by what they do on the field. Antonio Callaway was a 3 star recruit and he is the best skill position player Florida has had since Percy Harvin. Luke Del Rio hasn't played a down yet and he will become the best QB Florida has had since Tim Tebow if he can accomplish the simple goal of not being absolutely terrible and being able to start more than 6 games. Florida was dead last in yards per rushing attempt in the SEC last season. Now, I can go man for man and position by position, but there is nowhere for this group to go but up. Year 2 with a roster full of people who have been in the system, now have a clue and aren't getting beaten out by guys who transfer from Fordham is a positive. While the class rankings, class rankings, class rankings mantra can be echoed over and over.....damn near every school in the country with recruiting classes ranked who knows where have put better offenses on the field than Florida. As the turds left behind by Muschamp get flushed, things will continue to improve....starting this season.

At some point, you guys have to be consistent. You can't "lol" and mock Florida for how bad they suck on the offensive side of the ball and not find it probable that improvement is likely. How can the Florida offense be worse? How can field goal kicking at Florida be worse?

2. As far as the defense is concerned, I went looking for impartial sources so as to get an outside opinion of the situation that you all will find credible. In every 2017 NFL mock draft I could find, Tabor and Davis are 1st round draft picks. I have even seen a couple of mock drafts that have Marcus Maye selected in the 1st round. While that may be too high, he will be drafted. Caleb Brantley, Quincy Wilson and Bryan Cox will also be drafted. This does not include CeCe Jefferson who will be drafted when eligible. It is a solid, solid group.

Again, this is not a championship caliber club. I am not making that claim. Nor am I saying that this club is better than Tennessee.

But, I know Florida's roster. I know what they had before and what they have now. They are better now.

Losing 7 starters to the draft = "turds getting flushed"

You sound delusional

I'm not going to go into detail now, but I can later if you like.

Last season, they had a bunch of freshman and a transfer from Fordham playing on the o-line. They had a field goal kicker who couldn't kick the ball over the line of scrimmage.

Saying they will be better "on paper" really isn't a stretch.

The whole "year 2" thing is something that a lot of people casually dismiss as well.

I know people will ignore it because of things KBVol posts regarding Florida, but he can tell you what I thought of Florida's talent level last year.

So, considering the source (me), the argument that the team will be better is not surprising because I argued it was the worst Gator roster I have seen since the late 80's which were effected by probation.

Your argument is that you are better this year returning primarily non effective players on offense and losing a ton on defense without recruiting at as high a level?

This thread has turned into Vol fans that are overly optimistic vs Vol fans that claim to be realistic but are really the cheated on ex type that lack moxy and confidence.

I'll pick the unreasonably positive bunch.

Vols 112
Gators 1

I respect this. You should believe your team will win.

However these 2 statements are delusional. You have had 2 subpar recruiting classes allowing Tennessee to finally pass you in the 4 year composite for the first time in forever. Your starting QB is a guy who couldn't make it in Oregon State. You lost 7 players to the draft including 3 of your 5 best defensive players. Oh and you're on the road against a team that returns everyone from a team you needed several miracles to defeat.

Every objective measure says you'll lose this year. Probably badly.

But at least I respect your fanhood. Nothing disgusts me more than a fan who thinks their team will lose. I'm looking at you KBVol.

Last two recuiting classes were subpar? Mac's first class got the #1 OT and # 2 DE in the class along with two 4* RBs. This year, we signed 25 players and 13 of them were in school for spring practice.

Remember what Grier did to you last year (23/42 283 2TDs), if Del Rio was able to play last year, he would have won the job. Last year, we had one Lineman with starting experience, this year we have 6.

Tennessee has been the better team the last two years. Unfortunately, CBJ has been out coached (yes, by Muschamp). A lot of the people drinking the Vol Koolaid want to look at their last 6 games and say "we're back". What they don't see is that records of the last 5 teams they played in the regular season - 18 wins and 41 losses.

I still don't think Dobbs can beat any team, throwing the ball. I still don't think your receivers can beat the Gator CBs.

With all the trash talk going back and forth between the players, this game looks like it will be the best game in years.

I CAN'T WAIT!! 79 days and counting
