With yet another night game for the Vols, there's a full day of football before things get serious against Memphis. Here's one recommended viewing schedule for Vol fans again:
Watch these live
| South Carolina |
@
|
Arkansas | 12:21 p.m. | SECN |
| LSU |
@
|
Alabama | 3:30 p.m. | CBS |
| Memphis |
@
|
Tennessee | 7:00 p.m. | ESPNU |
Flip between/DVR these
| Ohio State |
@
|
Penn State | 3:30 p.m. | ABC |
| Vanderbilt |
@
|
Florida | 7:15 p.m. | ESPN2 |
All times EST
Of course, the day kicks off again with ESPN College GameDay, which starts at 10:00 and shoots live from. . . wha? . . . Colorado Springs for the Army-Air Force game. Huh. Comments on that?
Quick question, as a Vol fan, who are you rooting for in the LSU-Alabama game? LSU, because you hate Alabama, or Alabama, because that would be the first domino to fall in the unlikely scenario Tennessee finishes the season the third best team in the SEC?
Leave your comments on GameDay and/or the early games below.

Definitely LSU
We don’t need Alabama to win another 7 National Championships this season.
Those people are insufferable as it is.

While that is true...
I don’t want to suffer through another UF-LSU game if they were to play in the SEC championship game. The first one was painful to watch.

It is hard-wired in my DNA to root against Bama.
SEC/national scenarios don’t interfere with that.

I can root for Bama in the regular season under a couple of exceptions to my rule:
1. They are playing Florida or Georgia during years in which those schools’ fans are particularly insufferable; or
2. Bama winning will directly help the Vols. (I don’t consider “first domino to fall in the unlikely scenario Tennessee finishes the season the third best team in the SEC” to be directly helping the Vols.)
In bowl season, all bets are off. I have found myself getting swept up in “SEC! SEC!” pride the past few years and rooting for some teams I would otherwise never root for, Florida included.

I would ordinarily be pulling for LSU with everything in me
But I want Alabama to make a good show of it so that I feel better about the 12-10 loss. Also, I kinda want LSU to vindicate me for insisting they’ve been overrated all season.

I'm in the same category
The better Alabama is, the better that 12-10 loss is. I love Chavis, and I doubt we get the necessary total collapse from LSU to make the CapOne Bowl…but I’m still pulling for Alabama today.

New to posting here.
Ok guys I have been here lurking and reading the great content for way tooo long to stay out of the comments and discussions any longer. I’m gonna jump in with both feet here now! This game is a huge one for not only the SEC but for the way that all of ESPN and it’s “experts” (using that term loosly) can beat down the SEC and it’s powerful teams. I really want LSU to win the game however I think if LSU runs over Bama then here we go again with all the comments about the “OVERRATED” SEC. Really the only guy on ESPN giving the SEC the credit that it deserves is Mark May and to some point Lou Holtz. Those game day guys are all about UF but not so much on Bama and it’s past wins this season. We all know HERE how strong the SEC is and how GREAT of a conference it is so I just hate any situation that gives those guys a reason to question the strength.

I'm cheering for LSU
But I wouldn’t be horrified to see Alabama win. I’ll say this: the people over at RBR earned my respect for the way they handled bulldurham’s fanpost. That was classy, and I have to say that I’m impressed, and thankful for their response to the message.
But, with regards to Florida/Alabama: I will always cheer for them to lose in the regular season, but I won’t necessarilly be mad if they win. In the SEC championship game, I’d probably root for Alabama/LSU. In bowl games I root for Alabama/Florida but, this time, I’m not too sad to see them lose ;-).

cheering for bama
for the simple fact that it means UF vs. Bama in the championship. beyond the fact that I really want to see that game happen, it also would mean the SEC for sure gets a team to the BCS championship game. i don’t want the scenario where LSU, Bama, and UF all have one loss and the conference gets shut out of the Big One. gotta keep the streak alive.

That puts them in a potentially awkward position:
needing to beat Wisconsin or Ohio State to obtain bowl eligibility. It may be possible in theory, but that defense is straight-up bad. I’m floored that a unit coached by Greg Robinson is failing, personally.

Actually
Our spot might get taken by Ole Miss. The Outback can choose another SEC West team (after the Cotton chooses) rather than take the top East team. So if Auburn gets the Cotton, the Outback would then be left to choose between UT and Ole Miss.

We do have a very real shot at #3 in the SEC with that.
