There's a full day of football before ours rolls around at 7:45 tonight, beginning with Ole Miss at Auburn at 12:21 and continuing with the Cocktail Party at 3:30. Of course, the day really kicks off with ESPN College GameDay, which starts at 10:00 and shoots live from Eugene, Oregon where USC will travel to take on the Ducks at about the same time as our game. Expect little mention of South Carolina at Tennessee unless it also includes talk of officials, reprimands, and/or Lil Wayne.
So leave your comments on GameDay and/or the early games below.

Kirk Herbstreit goes against his past and becomes a Vols fan...
and I quote: “Tennessee is back! Let Kiffin recruit and get his team together. You better get your shots in now, because the SEC East is about to get a lot more interesting.”
(quotes are not verbatim)
Go Vols

Hey, Joel
Are we ever planning to vote on the Hail Mary Haiku?
by Incipient_Senescence on Oct 31, 2009 11:46 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Unfortunately, no
I blew that this week. I enlisted Jackson the Mule to make it up to everyone. Game thread goes up at 6:45.

INSANE hit on the opening kickoff in Auburn-Ole Miss
that somehow Ole Miss got back after the fumble

Woo, that game's on now!
I was watching Iowa suck for a bit before coming back get behind early to Indiana.

which they had every shot to get, and now Ole Miss takes all the air out of them – Auburn cannot play from behind

Why did Ole Miss have to remember they had McCluster before we played them?

How rare is it for a 3-4 UT to be FAVORED by 6 over 6-2 South Carolina?
What does that say about how little respect South Carolina has earned with its record and how much respect Tennessee has for its painfully close losses?

It's a squirrely thing right now.
SC is higher-ranked and has the better record, for sure, but they also have been less impressive of late. Not saying that they’re not impressive, though; they also had a good game against Alabama.

Bizarro injury in Ole Miss - Auburn
A player down for each side. The Aubie on top of the Rebel. Neither being moved.

did you see it?
they’ve yet to show the replay and I wasn’t looking. The Ole Miss player couldn’t move just because the guy on top of him couldn’t, looks like.

Concussion.
Head-to-head with Etheridge (another Auburn guy). Nasty hit.

Neck injury is possible too, but I'm guessing concussion first.
He gave the thumbs-up on the way out, though, so no paralysis.

Hopefully just a concussion

Straight to the ambulance.
They’re not pulling a Tebow on this one. No ‘sideline until he pukes’.

This is why I'm afraid of a neck injury.
He didn’t drop like a concussion. I think he retained consciousness.

And he just held on to one for waaaay too long and took a sack for it.
Say what you will, having Crompton bail out on so many passes at least didn’t make things worse.

Speaking of that sack
It was 4th down. Why not throw into double coverage? What’s an interception going to hurt you?

They remembered they have McCluster, though.
They only need Decent Snead to win if they’re using McCluster appropriately.

BTW, they better not have secret camera angles.
The NFL is adamant about that point for a reason: secret cameras make people suspicious. If we can’t see why a call was made, we go all conspiracy theory.

Also, it’s not really the same when the orange is Clemson orange. It’s too dark to really even count. BTW, is there any chance we do that tonight? I haven’t heard any talk of it. Could the ADs be keeping it under wraps and surprising us tonight? Or is this vain hope?

Because setting up statistical models based on on-the-fly reactions to individual evens is always a good idea.
Why can’t they just sit down, actually think through this thing, and make a model?

'03, and yes
there’s nothing more deflating than that

I knew it was a home game, just forgot which year.
My heart goes out to IU fans; that’s just downright painful.

Not sure which play you're thinking about
Unless you’re just talking about the crazy momentum swing on a big return. In which case it’s ’03 UGA. I cringe everytime I think of Casey Clausen in goalline situations.

I hate that team just a little more now
90-yard INT returns aren’t reasonable!

Well, yes, but anything he does is reasonable.
How many years will we go before we see that again?

I think this TD will be overturned though. :-(

Never mind
It did drag a bit and sent some rubber bits up. It was just hard to see.

I couldn't see the drag

Here's hoping that the ugly stick doesn't do roadies.
There’s one in Auburn and one in Iowa, and I fear seeing one in Knoxville.

So apparently you can win with no QB
Look at Iowa’s season so far. Makes you feel really bad about Auburn and UCLA.

I dunno, but the crazy just hit the Plains too.
It’s now 33-20 after an Ole Miss kickoff return and a Dexter McCluster 79-yard TD run …. but the XP was blocked and ran back for two.

The title on this GVX post says Vols to dress out for halloween. But I can’t find an article he’s linking to that says anything about our jerseys.

Michael Dyer and C.J. Mosley are both from the same school in Arkansas. That makes 11 officials and 3 unofficials, if my count is right.
