What makes you think we'd have a better chance against LSU than Alabama? If Bama beat us 41-17, what do you think LSU will do? LOL!

LSU's luck has continued....so pick your poison.

We can beat either if Fulmer and Cutcliffe make a pointed effort of putting the mental preperation and in-game mental game in somebody else's hands. This is the age of "coaching teams", and they personally just don't have those particular skills.

We've got the talent/ potential to beat anybody in the East or West, but Fulmer refuses to recognize that the coaching team & strategy he has put together is responsible for our mental incosistency in big games for his entire career at UT, especially the last 9 years. If we don't get leadership from players (or our player-leaders have an off game) the Vols look sappy- like against Bama & Florida this year.

I'd like to play Bama again, both because they are our greatest, most admirable rivalry game in the regular season and because Saban is one of my favorite coaches to hate. But it really doesn't matter who we play from the West in terms of potential shame. If we show up mentally, we can play with LSU or Bama any day. If we don't, Ole Miss would have a serious chance of whipping us.

Screw Bama, we play Arky next and that is all I am worried about at this point. If we make it to Atlanta then we can talk about that team. For now, I am happy we won and Bama lost even given all the breaks in the world. I love it when Bama loses. FU$% the TIDE!!!!!!!

If there is a football God...best if we all pray to him/her/it fervently for the next few weeks.

Arkansas scares me.

UK scares me.

Vandy is no longer, thanks to the ego boost we gave them in '05 (in Neyland, no less), a gimme.

I'll worry about LSU, or Bama, or whoever, when / if we get there.

The Vols would be wise to do the same.

go vols.

Yes.

First, one of the things that the 'Fulmer-team'- and Cutcliffe too- is good at is identifying talent, and developing the physical potential of the players they get.

Second, the SEC is not only a "conference that's a tribut to parity", as one of the talking-heads put it, but there isn't a team in the SEC this year that doesn't have real weaknesses begging to be exploited.

Florida, taking teams as a whole, was no more talented than us. They just showed up and used the talent they had while we didn't show up and used only a fraction.

Alabama, again as a whole, has much less (physical, potential) talent than we do. But they, damn Saban to hell, bring all they've got every game, and that beats talent + piss-poor attitude every time.

LSU is about our equal in raw talent. In fact, they are the proof of my "the SEC has parity of vulerability this year" theory. They showed up today, but just barely beat Bama. Why? Because they, like UF and us, they have great talent at some positions but real youth/ weaknesses at others. Yet, unlike us, LSU actually showed up at Tuscaloosa today, and as a result played the kind've game we should have- win or lose.

We've really do have the talent to beat anybody in this year's SEC. Unfortunately, I can't name a single team in the SEC, except maybe Ole Miss, who is less certain of playing up to their potential, one game to the next.
