I think this might be one of those sloppy type games. I am not convinced Florida is elite but I do think they are better overall than Tennessee in talent at this point. Losing Franks will be an impact for the Gators but I believe Trask was the starter last year before getting hurt last year. He brought Florida back against Kentucky so he is not going to be intimidated. I think the old adage about the old Tennessee-Florida games will come back into play. The best running team will win this game. Whoever rushes the best wins. This game will either be really close or a really bad blowout either way. I am going to say close. I wont pick a winner right now but I think the game will be like one of those 27-24 type of games.

LOVE the idea in theory of this gesture as well. Really cool. I agree with Rob though.... I get hammered from my UGA fans all the time. I want reparations!!!

Well I guess I will have to get my drinking in way early this year to numb the pain

I don't ever read John Adams and his drivel. He is an asshat

Thoughts? Guess we aren't the only ones thinking QB play has to get MUCH better with decision making Tennessee football: Five takeaways from Vols loss to BYU Cougars ALLFORTENNESSEE.COM A double-overtime game ended with Tennessee football losing to Brigham Young 29-26.

I really have no answers or thoughts. I am just confused. I truly thought this was a turnaround year for the Vols. I never had much faith in Dooley or Butch Jones. I had some in Jeremy Pruitt and really thought he was the guy with Fulmer's support to get this going in the right direction. Something is missing with this team. There is just an intangible for winning this team doesn't seem to have. The one place that can change that drive the mental attitude is the man under center. I think a change might good for all right now. As many have said you have lost to Georgia State and BYU at our home. Totally shocked. I hope even though it is only UTC, this team MUST get some tempo and some confidence back. Because we all know who is right after this UTC game...

Sounded like standard coach speak to me

Some interesting things here. Obviously Bryce isn't listed. Pruitt seems to be sticking to his statement that his offensive line will consist of constant 10 man rotation.

Pruitt is following to standard to protect his team and school from social media blasting. He is playing the standard reaction protocol to alleged domestic issues and possible violence accusations. I agree let this thing play out but losing him would be huge. I hear though that other kid who may take his place is done really well in camp.

I had no issues making picks and I like this layout MUCH better. Very clean. Seems to be working for me so far.

I think Bituli and Taylor are perfect choices. I know JG is a duh one as a QB but I love the other two choices. They should have big years this season

This is the dumbest violation I have heard about. I watching Finebaum yesterday and he was totally baffled and thought this was totally stupid. I for once agree with him.

Good news to hear. I kind of missed that last year.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Peyton Manning, the former quarterback with a record five NFL MVPs among the string of awards and honors to his credit, calls his decision to attend the University of Tennessee one of the best he has ever made. That makes being inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame on Saturday night along with a handful of fellow Volunteers and David Cutcliffe, his former quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator, even more memorable. "It's very special," Manning said. "I was proud to have played at the University of Tennessee for four years, and you go into the NFL, you kind of carry your alma mater with you and have wonderful support from friends, teammates, coaches throughout my career. ... So to be honored and have a chance to reflect on my time in college and all the relationships and memories, it's been very special."
