Why Vol fans should root for UK Saturday

No. We need UK to lose. Win, and they come in to Knoxville with the SEC East in hand, and maybe the CFP on the line. So they'll bring their "A" game. We would be their last hurdle to the CFP, until Bama buries them. MTSU and UL suck.

Is that the UK team you want to face? Or would you rather take on a UK team that got trucked by UGA, and now the SEC East is out of reach, as is the CFP, as is likely a NY6 bowl game? Motivated UK, or "Just got our ass handed to us by UGA" UK?

I'll take the latter. Go Dawgs, then Go Vols.

Kentucky's biggest hurdle to the CFP is Bama. A two loss Kentucky does not get in

If UK pulls the upset, and I pray they do, that dickweed Uncle Lou will fling himself off of Stone Mountain! Goooo Cats!!!

They’ve never won the East - kind of a cool story.
Happy for a fan base to celebrate a ball that isn’t round and then get to see their team destroyed by Bama in Atlanta.

Because next week in Knox, if we beat UK that win looks even bigger over the Divisional champions.

It knocks Smart and possibly his Uga recruiting down a peg or two. Plus, his fan base starts to grumble some ending honeymoon status.

Biggest reason - I hate UGA! So, Go Cats!
(I do realize that Snell must have big day on ground and that UK defense will have to cause several turnovers to win).

Nah. I’m only thinking of what’s best for Tennessee here. I’m thinking that if the Cats lose to Georgia Saturday, then the air is let out of their season and they come to Neyland without nearly as much to play for....and they’re easier for Tennessee to beat.

I went to grad school at UK from 1978 to 1980. I always pull for them except when they play the Vols. My blood runneth orange.

I'd enjoy seeing UK defeat Georgia as an indication of some parity in the SEC at a very high level.
As to our Vols beating UK....well, we'll have to see which Big Orange team shows up. The team that came out of the locker room for the second half of the South Carolina game won't win another conference game this season.

Yeah I don't think UGA can knock off Bama so screw em. Kentucky winning helps us more recruiting wise and might further fragment UGA's once ridiculously dominant seeming recruiting class. We gotta recruit the Carolinas better also.

With the way they're recruiting and the team they fielded last year, they looked like they were headed that way...but the team this year is clearly not as good as last season.

If GA played Bama this Saturday it would be a rout of epic proportions. Bama rolls easy by 5 TD....

I’d be surprised if anyone on this board wants UGA to win.

I hate Kantucky with a passion. I live near the Tennessee/Kentucky border and have to listen to their crap every year about how they are just basketball fans and that football is a dumb sport. And now all of a sudden, they are football fanatics. I want them to lose every game they ever play from now until the end of time. Yes, I'm salty and I know it.

I’d rather UK win too but I don’t see it happening. I think they’ve been way overrated they’re not that good of a football team.

There’s no way I’m pulling for GA on Saturday, simply because I can’t stand the Dawgs. The Cats are a flash in the pan this year, so long-term they are nothing to worry about.

I never pull for one side or the other when watching any football game that Tennessee isn't playing in. That's probably why I enjoy watching them so much. There's no emotion, just entertainment.

I'm pulling for Kentucky to beat Georgia. I'm also pulling for LSU to beat Alabama. I can pretty much guarantee you that neither one of those outcomes will happen.

I pretty much pull for UK over any team in the SEC other than us. I know that they are a “rival” but in football they are probably the SEC team that I hate the least other than Missouri or A&M.

This is the worst team they will field for at least the next 2 seasons, their roster this year is over 2/3 freshmen and sophomores. Those two classes were ranked No. 3 and No. 1.

If UK beats Georgia, then Uncle Lou will have the biggest melt down ever. If you thought him breaking his tv, then it ain’t no telling what he would do next. I don’t think it would come to chanting fire Smart, but his melt down would be hilarious to watch.

Gotta ask..who in the F are you talking about? Is this some talking about yourself in the third person thing?
