Coach Heuple will make the difference. Going back to even some of the fulmer seasons the team after a bye come out sluggish and rusty. Add to it on the road, against a good defense and it feels like the old Tennessee tradition of playing not to lose will rear it’s head. But all that wasn’t under Heuple, I believe he’ll have them ready to hit compete and play to win. I feel fairly positive about it 30 - 20 Vols win.
Rather than give it a fancy, intellectually robust "mental health-type" name, we just called it "Legion of the Miserable".
I'll be disappointed if at least half the LSU stadium hasn't stayed up all night drinking for the day game.
I feel like having been on the other side of a rowdy big crowd like against Florida helps negate any shock value. And we don't "audible" much.
Listening to LSU guys, they are really surprised the game sold out. Apparently doesn't happen much anymore, especially early... I am guessing that means we have 10k or even 20k in orange on Saturday. We sold it out. They don't know what's coming.
