I Know What You Did Last Week: A quick look at how Tennessee's remaining opponents performed this past weekend. This one should be quick!

Vanderbilt Commodores and Kentucky Wildcats

Vandy lost at Kentucky, 20-38. The 'Dores are 2-8 overall and 1-6 in the conference. Their wins came against Ole Miss and Eastern Michigan.
Kentucky is 6-5 and 2-5 in the conference. Their pelts include Louisville, Western Kentucky, Akron, Charleston Southern, Vanderbilt, and the outlier -- South Carolina. But they also lost to Ole Miss.
Here's the drive chart for the Vandy-Kentucky game Saturday.

Conclusions: Dial back the confidence for this weekend a bit, as A Sea of Blue says that Vandy dominated the first half. Also, Randall Cobb was Randall Cobb, meaning he was awesome, and while we're playing Vandy this week, the 'Cats will be preparing for us. But Vandy first.

Bear in mind - the lost to Ole Miss was back when Ole Miss cared.

The COEXIST bumper sticker is ridiculous. How are people supposed to get along when one side is flying planes into tall buildings or wearing sweater vests full of C4 and nails? The faiths are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.

Nutt is good for one mind-blowing upset a year.

(Here, an upset is defined by a team that he had no business beating, not necessarily one he wasn’t expected to beat, as early season perceptions are always screwy.)

They still have a chance at upsetting LSU or MSU, but if they don’t, that mantle falls on Kentucky. In that case, Ole Miss really has fallen off the map this year.

Upcoming Ky-Tenn game

Just a few words to say I’m excited about the upcoming game. I hope KY wins- now waitaminit- this ain’t going to be one of those tirades against the Vols that you’re using to hearing from the typical Ky fan ( and I promise not to mention the “b” word-either…no not that one I meant round ball and I understand that’ s a sensitive subject right now. What I mean to say is that if I hadn’t gone to Ky ( class of "73 – yeah, I’m an old fa- guy) I probably would’ve shown up at Knoxville. One of my favorite colors is orange and I have to admit that Volunteers is really more imaginative a name for a team than Wildcats. My wife and I love to take our time driving thru Tennessee when we go north. It’s a beautiful state and we dearly love stopping in Bellbuckle to look around, shop, and eat. I know it has been a tough season for Vols football, and I hope they do well. I just also hope Kentucky does a little better. See ya at the game, I’ll be the one dressed in…blue.
