4 days, boys and girls!!!

[knox_titan]

last I saw we were a 6 point under dog.........I just hope it goes up to like 8 or 9 points....... You have to always fear the underdog!!

[gtumblin]

Come on guys!!!! Cal-TN is the best game this weekend. You know the FSU-Clemson game is the premier game this weekend. That's why we have the only game on Monday.

I will be thinking about you guys while I am sitting on the 40-yard line right near the press box. It's nice to have friends in high places.

[DawgBone]

You'll be sitting on the 40 yard line watching the Tommy B bowl? Sweet! :)

[gtumblin]

Tommy B Bowl?? >:(

You mean the "Watch Papa spank little boy for getting too big for his britches" bowl.

LOL

LOL - Thought you might like that!

[Gator_T]

wow florida state and tennessee going down on the same weekend.....i guess i should be used to that by now......lol
my picks are clemson and cal.......if you didnt already know...i want tennessee to win so they will be ranked when we play them in the swamp...

[gtumblin]

I think all the sun and not common sense to wear sun screan has taken it's toll on you MG.
I am truly worried about you my friend.
I think you need to see a doctor SOON.

[Gator_T]

i have sent urban meyer several emails stating that i would like to pull fla.state off our schedule because it kills our strength of schedule ranking....lol

[gtumblin]

You just need to move us up in your schedule that way you can recover from the loss that is coming.
I have always said that FSU and FU knock each other out of a National Title game or a BCS game with them playing the last game of the year.

It's not like the CLemson/USC game where both teams are needing that last win to be bowl eligible.

Wait, I think that was almost us last year. Nevermind. ;D

[knox_titan]

corso picked Cal...........YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DawgBone]

Sweet - Vols win!

[knox_titan]

they were talking about a possible upset in the OSU/UGA game..

[DawgBone]

Did you hear Corso say "I'll say it again, God is a Hokie?" I know he's talking about the shooting thing, but he was also referencing a few years ago when they were in Blacksburg for the opening Thursday night game against. Ga Tech. There was a really bad storm that ultimately postponed the game, but he picked G.T. to win and shortly afterward lightning struck his rental car - LOL!

[knox_titan]

Corso is an idiot.......... I wish Herbstreet would smack him off the stage one day! lol

[knox_titan]

just heard some terrible news......forget about Ainge's pinky finger beign broken,,,,,, our punter has a pulled quad.......... it gets worse...........he had beat out the FG kicker, but now they just hope he can punt............ doesn't sound good for us.

Oh and they just "let it slip out" they are running the no huddle with the option tonight........

Could be a ploy to make Cal scramble to prepare their defense for a game plan that may not exist!

[DawgBone]

Ouch...

[knox_titan]

no I think it is the fact that Fulmer didnt get a bonus last year and he knows that his fat chops are on the line this year if we dont make it to at least the SEC Champ game.

Crompton (the back up QB) took ALL of the snaps at the final practice before they left for Cali... doesn't give me a warm fuzzy. Here is the way I look at it.

QBs- Draw... if Ainge isnt bothered by the finger
RB- UT
O Line- UT
WR- Cal
D-line- Cal (we have some great ends but we are weak up the middle)
Backers-UT
Dbacks- Cal

Special Teams-Cal (now that I have heard all of this new info)


Winner- UT will win it up front in the trenches with the O-line and the running game
Close game 24-21 UT

[Swampthang]

I'm a VOL fan tonight bro. Go PUKEY ORANGE! ;)

SEC all the way!

BTW...on the Post your team's score thread I went with UT by 3.

[shailey]

Well, if you remember what Herbstriet said a few years ago, he was sent to Knoxville with armed security. He made the comment about everyone from this state being barefoot trailer trash and quite a few other comments. Two weeks later ESPN gameday was scheduled to be in Knoxville. I am still surprised he made it out alive. LOL It seems like ver since then, he has been kissing UT's tail.

It will be a good game though and I am glad to see it is on ABS because I get that in HD!

[DawgBone]

I hate it that the Georgia and Tennessee games overlap each other. I would love to watch every play of both!

[knox_titan]

got beat by a better team............ CAL is good! They have speed everywhere!

[jestep]

hey knox hope that your player is ok it didnt look good but at least he was moving his hand

[knox_titan]

yeah we have lost key guys to major injuries the last 3 years........... not good for him. I hope it was only a stinger though.

[jestep]

joking with each other is all part of it but when someone gets hurt bad its not a joke

here is how i see it
qb=cal
rb=cal
o line=cal
wr=cal
dline=cal
lbackers=cal
safty/corner=cal
coaching=cal(unless they are in a eating contest then tenn big time)

i think cal wins the game with(Jackson scampered 77 yards for his sixth career punt return for a touchdown, and Golden Bears avenged last season's humiliating loss at No. 15 Tennessee with a 45-31 victory Saturday night.) you guys think this was bad....wait till we play you.........lolol

[DawgBone]

coaching=cal(unless they are in a eating contest then tenn big time)


LOLOL!!
