Title: It's hard to believe... Post by: Black Diamond Vol on October 31, 2022, 03:52:28 EDT ...after all these years of the "SEC Least"- next Saturday, we have defacto championship games for both divisions, and the West game is considered the undercard. :thumbup:
Title: Re: It's hard to believe... Post by: Creek Walker on October 31, 2022, 04:20:15 EDT If you remove the 1998 BCSNC game (since it was a postseason game), this is the first time in program history that Tennessee has played a #1 vs. #2 game. The closest we've ever come to this sort of stage in the regular season was the 1997 game against Florida, when UF was #1 and we were #4, and against Georgia Tech in 1956 when GaTech was #2 and we were #3. Games like this just don't come along very often.
It's unbelievable. And every time I think I have my BVS symptoms completely caged, I'm reminded that Gene Chizik won a national championship at Auburn with a Heisman-worthy QB. Or that Jimbo caught lightning in a bottle for one season at TAMU with a Heisman-worthy QB. :laugh: Title: Re: It's hard to believe...

We were #2 and Florida was #4 in the much-hyped '96 game. Then we wet our pants and found ourselves down 35-0. Title: Re: It's hard to believe...

The one thing I do not expect us to do Saturday is wet our pantsWe may well lose the game but we can beat them One thing we do know is that CJH and staff will have them prepared and we will take the fight to them for 60 minutes |
