WF/GT in overtime. Bama in a close game. Oregon probably toast.

I predict 45-17 UT tonight. I just think we’ll overlook them a little. Just a little. Still win by 28.

Aren’t there more than just one game available on 360? I wouldn’t know, because my ISP doesn’t offer it.

Man, we've got some great announcers.

“Tennessee is mediocre – 4 wins, 4 losses.” Two games against the then-#1 team, top 15 defense, one of the best RBs in the SEC. Mediocre, son.

We better win by 70.

But I’ve always wondered why not. 0 yards is better than -5. What’s the worst that can happen? Intentional grounding?

All of this depends on how long Kiffin leaves the starters in

but Crompton has 305 yards. All-time record is 523 (Manning at UK ’97). 4 TDs, all time record is 7 (Ainge, in 4 OT game at UK ’07)

And the team points/margin records are still out there too.

Do we have some defense on the field?

ESPN will not report that Memphis scored 21 points in the second half on the third string. Only that Memphis scored 21 points in the second half.
