...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.

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.

And the roster he’s doing it with!  The amount of players that left via the transfer portal left us empty.  Just unbelievable.

I don’t want to wake up from this dream!

I believe in 1996 we were no. 3 and UF no. 1 in the (at the time) record setting game.

We were #2 and Florida was #4 in the much-hyped '96 game. Then we wet our pants and found ourselves down 35-0.

The one thing I do not expect us to do Saturday is wet our pants

We 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

All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.
—T. E. Lawrence,
