Sorta

I still have that duplicates issue I was having last year. But you can try both — one of them will work. The other will have bad scoring data. The button for generating the code is hidden down low on the right hand side until I can get that fixed, but go ahead and use it if you don’t mind double checking the scores to make sure you have the right one.

This is the first game I can recall where every Tennessee drive had something written in their end zone.

Eric Berry for sending the guy who wins the Heisman spinning 720 degrees in the air at the podium - or for intercepting it and returning it to where it rightfully belongs

Yeah. No punts. No field goal attempts either.

Boring day for the kickers, except for all those kickoffs… :-D

I don’t know, this drive chart looks pretty much like last year: interception, fumble, time expired, turnover on downs.

Wait, what are all those other things?

Wikipedia says: touchdowns. Who knew?

Bruin fan here,

Going to knoxville for the game, plan on driving from Nashville that morning. How much time should I assume it will take. The game is at 4 but I would like to be there sometime around noon to one. Also, is there a good place to park? Thanks.

It can be done in two and a half, but most people give it three hours.

Plenty of places to park if you’re willing to pay $10-$20.

You'll probably have better luck looking in the downtown area to park.

Anything east of Henley street. It means a bit of a walk, but parking near campus is a fiasco. And usually about $40-$50.

When you get there, be sure to check out the Vol Navy docked along the river. If you’re pleasant, chances are you’ll get invited onto a boat to say hi.

unfortunately my girl is staying home

so its just me and my ugly friend! But maybe we’ll get a sympathy invite!

Thanks for the tips everyone. Appreciate it. We’ll leave nashville at 9am.

Oh,

and DON’T SPEED too much coming into Knoxville. Once you start seeing signs of civilization, stay at traffic speed at best. Ever since they’ve reconstructed the interstate through K’ville, the police have been ferociously active. It wasn’t unusual for me to see 2 or 3 speed traps each way when I worked at Oak Ridge, and I’ve seen as many as seven (again, one way). That’s the same piece of interstate you’ll be on, and even though most of the police will be tied up with gameday duties, they have been known to bring in police from other jurisdictions for extra help.

yah

the drive from nashville averages about 3 hours. Be sure to check out calhouns on the river and the vol navy. If you are looking to tailgate near to the stadium I saw prices today ranging from $25-$40 for such privileges.

I drove from Knoxville to Nashville in 1:55 once.

But I wouldn’t recommend it.

Best place to park is at Disc Exchange on Chapman Highway, south of the river. But then I’m a cheap SOB who’ll gladly walk an extra mile to avoid paying exorbitant parking fees.
