hyperbole to say that this is one of the biggest games in recent memory for UK football. We’ve had a surprisingly good season especially thinking back 4 weeks. We’ve lost games that were head scratchers and won games that had the other teams scratching their heads. Don’t know about anyone else but I like it when the other guys are scratching their heads or filing glumly out of the stadium.

This game is EXACTLY the type of game that many of us feel UK has to win to get to that “next” level. 8-4 with 4 SEC wins removes any “yeah buts” concerning the direction of this program.

8-4 ends the streak, gives us a warm weather bowl game, gives us a chance of ending in the top 25, gives Brooks & company an easier job on selling this program to recruits and MOST IMPORTANTLY gives ABC the chance to write new lyrics to Rocky Top.

This team has proven it can put up points. In my mind, a win Saturday will require the defense to step it up a notch, to win the battle of turnovers, to have no mistakes on special teams and for every fan in Commonwealth to come home unable to speak.

UT is as beatable as they’ve been anytime during the streak. All UK has to do as the Nike ad says is “JUST DO IT”!!!!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CATS!!!!!

this game IS one of the biggest due to so many factors. ESPN missed a great chance for Gameday at Commonwealth. ABC, I disagree with the uniform colors, a blackout would be special for the players.(Maybe you were just looking for a “U” ;-) ) On this day, “F” also stands for Four days is an eternity to wait for this game.

pass the turkey now, and let’s play some football. I am ready. I have found I really love the game. I hope ABC, you were not insulting my growing football knowledge during the UGA game thread. I know you would never do that…..LOL :-)

Note to others: ABC said I needed one of these tvs after seeing the commercial. I guess he thought it might be beneficial for me to own one. His or mine? I am not really sure….LOL….Here’s a link, if you scratching your head about this comment. It is really funny…Where’s the FLAG !!! ;-)

Yes we all know how bad we want this and you are absolutely correct. UT does not know how bad nor care. Even though they know we have a good shot at beating them, we simply don’t matter to them. I want this game so bad! Heck, they could take away our bowl game if we could win this one. :)

Good article! I’m impressed. I think maybe you are too good to treat us to all this wisdom.
Some of us predicted the Cats to win the three games against new coaches, programs, etc. They got Auburn in a perfect game. Who’d thought Miss State would climb up and smack us like they did. I don’t think many of us would have picked Tennessee to have as good a program as they have turned out. I believe scoring on them is going to be very difficult. Their defensive coordinator seems to know something about the game.
Seven and Four is great for us. Another win and we will surpass my orginial thoughts.
They can do it but it won’t come easy.

I agree with you completely. I can tell ya’ll though, Tennessee knows who we are, and that we are capable of winning this game. They will bring their best effort, and we are going to have to stop their running game to have a chance. Also, we have to hit them in the mouth, and control both lines of scrimmage. Not easy… GO CATS!!!
