Good ol' Rocky Top
It's Neyland.

Also, the atmosphere will be a little bit different then a Vandy v.s. UT game at the end of a horrid season for the Vols'. Cal' is ranked 9th in the nation. There will be a packed house of raucous UT fans. I expect this game to be one of the best of the college season. I would put my money on UT if I had the guts to play this one. Everyone has their own opinions though thats what makes this fun for everyone!


Good Luck with your pick...I'll be cheering for the Vols' though!

You've already read most of my thoughts on the game in the other threads, but I will say that anyone that says, "Its not like Neeland stadium makes teams cringe...." hasn't been to Neyland. BoDiddley summed up the Vandy loss.... It was the end of a piss sorry year (the worst since 1988) and Vandy had not beaten Tenn since 1982 and they had a stud Sr QB in Jay Culter....

I don't doubt that Cal will put 8 in the box.... I would guess that Tenn will do the same. While I don't particularly like Ainge's decision making ability, he's not a bad QB if he can keep his head straight. Yeah, he's not Tee Martin...but given the choice, I'd take his experience and homefield over Longshore on the road....

As far as Cal running on Tennessee, yes, they lost 6 of the front 7; however, you don't play at the top of the SEC year after year without recruiting the D front 7. I just get a chuckle when folks say Cal is going to run it down Tenn's throat...or Cal is going to play smash-mouth football.... Just remember, this is the SEC and CAL ain't in it. ;)

I mean no offense...just assumed that you already knew my stance and wouldn't mind me posting in your thread...unlike some folks. LOL We'll just have to agree to disagree, bro. I wish you the best this weekend, Hokie. :) ...that's is with all of your games, sans CAL. :nono:


p.s. Almost forgot, I like the rest of your card...with the exception of BG. I just think that Wisky "bullies" them with the big OL. Once again, GL this weekend and the remainder of the season, buddy. :)

Hokie, I side with Toaist on the tenn game,

on your other games I like NIll, Pitt, Hawaii, GT, and Houston.

Dont like Bg just because they lost alot of players and werent that good to start with

I don't see why Tennessee will be that much better than last year at this point. New offensive coordinator will certainly help because taking any decision making away from Fulmer is a plus.

I don't think this game is worthy of a play either way, but I would have my pick on Cal in a pinch.

If Cal jumps out early, the Vol fans will not have a lot of patience before the rumbling begins. Last year's season left too sore of a taste for it to be forgotten with a rough star. This is the key to Cal's success, IMO. If, by chance, Cal is up by double digits at half I would be looking at a second half play on Cal.

Thank you guys for your input
I am not "bashing" anyones selections
Are we not all trying to bash the man???
Its refreshing I can have a different opinion than someone else but still work together to cap the game (Taoist, you are one of the best, thats why I am scared to hammer Cal)

Hasnt Tenn lost last 6 vs. top 10 in Neeland?
Cal's suspensions scare me too...

What ever way it goes I am comfortable NO ONE will say I TOLD YOU SO...

The Pac 10 is weak, sans Scott4USC, that also scares me

Should be a great game...
