No throat slash necessary.
tbrayvol8 Tyler Bray Its time to shock the WORLD! @MillerTime_864 @Mr_VD4@darickrogers
Yes, yes it was. We got some national love...Being picked as the upset.
Josh_Ward Josh Ward RT @sports180: Dan Hawkins on ESPN picks UT over Florida: "Tyler Bray, this guy's unbelievable. This guy's a sleeper Heisman candidate."
Even Eternal Buckeye Herbstreit picked us:
Vols_Beat Austin Ward Herbstreit doubted Vols last week, takes them to beat Gators: "Winner of this game is rubbing elbows with South Carolina."
Some Twitter smack talkin from Elam of Florida and our own Da'Rick Rogers:

No immediate response was given if this was the cousin of Spirit, Auburn's beloved, who had his own run-in this week. Details of the fly-in are here. Spirit is fine, btw.
And I did a little giddy dance when I read this one:
Vols_Beat Austin Ward Dooley's orange pants have made the trip. They're here to stay. 17 Sep
God, I love those pants.
After this it goes downhill...
Vols_Beat Austin Ward Big third-down throw from Bray to Hunter, but it looks like it might have come with price. Hunter down holding knee -- now walking off. 17 Sep
Up until an hour ago, we didn't have an official answer, but most of our hearts knew:

We are all hoping for a speedy and full recovery for Mr. Hunter. Our thoughts are with you.
The game made even just taking the snap a ridiculous task.
PeytonsHead Peyton's Head #Vols TD, after another bad snap. Tyler Bray may be the first college football player to win a Golden Glove award. 17 Sep
As we will learn what life is like without Justin Hunter on the field each Saturday this fall, there is another season approaching the horizon: the first year of Cuonzo Martin era Year Zero of Cuonzo Martin's BasketVols.
Cuonzo getting some love:
Josh_Ward Josh Ward RT @LangWiseman: We got a steal with Cuonzo. Every time I see & talk with him I think how fortunate we are to have him at Tennessee. 12 Sep
Much to Swiperboy's delight, the legendary Rev Run of RunDMC made a little trip to Knoxville.

Moving into the bye week, let's try not to what-if.
