Saturday, Sept. 17 @ 8:00 p.m. -- TV: CBS
"The Swamp" -- Gainesville, Fla.

Wanted to get this debate off early. Big game IMO mainly b/c of the rivalry but also b/c I get to watch 2 great teams square off this week! I pick Tennessee of course but I never underestimate those Gators, I know they have a mean bite

Lets look at this two ways.

Number 1, Tennessee had a hard time taking care of UAB, Ten coul dhave easily lost that one in the end.

Number 2, Florida has yet to play anyone with any substance (has UT, will UAB be a good team this season, or did the Vols struggle against a middle of the pack C-USA team)

Battles, inside the Battle

QB (s) edge goes to Florida
WRs Edge goes to Florida
RBs Edge goes to UT
Special Teams, edge goes to Florida
Defense edge goes to UT

Usually, Id say Florida would walk in this one, but UT comes in with the better defensive unit. If UT can keep this one a defensive slug-fest they could be able to get away with a victory.. Iff this turns into a shootout, UF wins by 14

Well, I think every1 in this site knows that i'm a pretty good die-heart fan for the gators, but I will never underestimate you Vols. To bad I don't to go to that game, but i'm getting to go to the UF Vs. FSU game. I can't wait to watch the Tenn. Vs. UF game this Sat.

Looking forward to that game. It will be slightly more compelling than our game against La. Monroe. Rolling Eyes

Go Vols!

I always liked Ainge better, last year he was amazing in a few games (watched one in person Rolling Eyes

). I don't understand what he is doing/or what his problem is, but he has a lot of potential.

PS- Don't feed Fulmer!

GO GATORS!!!!!!!!!

Florida will come into this one with the D that everybody doesn't expect them to have this year, not allowing over 200 total yards florida will win this one 35-3..... That is my prediction, I was raised a Gator fan and will always support my team, no matter if they win or lose, I will always be their for them

Kaotic you are crazy for thinking it will be that bad but i do think that the gators will win this by less than five

Well I agree with you on the reciever part BP, we do have alot of great guys but I like Chris Hannon especially because of his speed, his 40 time is the best in Tennessee history so I would love to see him get some seperation on the hail mary that I know we will probably need to use to beat Florida like always. Rolling Eyes

24-21 Tenn.

Please note everyone, I never actually picked a winner.. I said "If this turns into a shootout, UF wins by 14"

This one is just too close to call really, because both teams look good in all aspects of the game.. If I had to pick it righ tnow (which I dont, but what the hey, I will anyway)

Florida - 28
Tennessee - 23

Sorry guys, I hate Florida, I can NOT stand they guys, but im just not sold on UT just yet.

It cost $600 for and ounce and a half.... lets just put it that way Wink

Florida better win. I got 5 bucks on them. They better beat Tenn by 7 because Tenn is getting six.

Also Clemson gotta lose by 6 or win cuz I got 5 on them too.
Clemson Tigers VS. Miami Hurricanes

I'd be surprised if Clausen pickle stayed in very long. He'll sour early.

It shouldn't shock you that I would be rooting for the Vols. I'm a Gator Hater through and through. Plus, I want those Vols undefeated when we play them.

I totally agree Snyder but I hope that Ainge gets some time, just not much. He is only a Sophomore so he will have time to get better but Clausen has spent more time in this system. As a Senior I think he has more leadership skills so quite frankly he should be our man and let Ainge get some experience here and there.

Not that I'm complaining, I was surprised the ESPN Game Day decided to go to Boston College campus instead of Florida. Oh well, I had a good time Twisted Evil

Well its not what I wanted to happen but oh well. BangHead

Congrats Florida fans, you guys have a great team and an even greater coach so good luck with the rest of the season. Now that we have a loss maybe we will try harder to improve, at least I hope so. Got LSU next week and they are pretty good, well good luck once again Florida but watch out for Vandy 3-0. Laughing

I am a huge gator fan and all but I wouldn't say that, They aren't that great of a team this year, even if they make it they would have 2 beat USC and that would be a tougher challenge than most thought Tenn. was.... But I must say....... Chris Leak=Heismen Trophy Shocked

..... Just my opinion.... I beleive he can do it if he plays like he has these first 3 games.... Chris Leak had a pretty good game, Im loving Urban Meyers and his offense cuz it gets chris leak to show his speed and do something *Cough* Ron Zook *Cough* wouldn't let him do much.... LETS GO GATORS

The Red Devil · Posted: Sat Sep 17, 2005 9:05 pm Post subject:

Kaotic you are right about Leak's talent, he was getting sacked left and right by us but never quit and connected over and over, Florida showed up with more heart against a bigger team. I can't say that i'm happy about that but I can say that you are in for a good season. This rivalry is the past for me now until next year in Knoxville so I am now focused on LSU and anticipating yet another tough road game. Mad

i let my other michigan team take care of notre dame this week. 44-41 in ot

Beaner · Posted: Mon Sep 19, 2005 8:30 am Post subject:

The Shockley/Greene situation at Georgia was a bit different. There was never any doubt that Greene was the man. Shockley appeared in games on a very limited basis.

Fulmer definitely needs to focus on one guy or the other. Tennessee had the talent to win that game, but the QB switching seemed to cause them to be unable to establish any kind of rhythm.

It seems that our games against both these teams will be good ones. Neither Tennessee nor Florida really blew my mind, and Georgia seems to be on about the same level.
