    In probably every year since the beginning of Skybox this game between the Vols and Gators has merited it's own topic.

    Because both are ranked and Tenn is favored the hype this week has been very noticeable so I figured.... why not.... let's have a topic.

    This one intrigues me.
    Vols offense vs Gator is the whole story.
    I can see 3-3 goimg to OT.

    Before he was Dallas Baker.... Touchdown Maker.... he was Dallas Baker the head slapper.

    I am a believer somewhat in karma.... and boy did the events of the UF-UT game in 2004 set off some karma like patterns.

    Michigan used to complain that beating Hayden Fry's Iowa teams at their place was extra difficult because Fry ordered up pink paint for the visitor's locker room.

    If I were Tenn I would have painted UF's locker room today in maize and blue....

    Well all I can say is WOW. If I had not seen it I would not believe it could happen to the Gator defense.

    Congratulations to Tennessee fans.

    If the Vols play the rest of the year like they did the second half they are a real threat to beat Alabama and be in the championship playoff.

    Thanks Bill. We were at a Car show (I won best of class and to top it off, Best of show) and left there for a birthday celebration for one of our "Car Sons." Just now watching the game but are fully aware of the final score. 8)

    I couldn't believe the score, I was of course watching ND lose and when I saw the Gators had jumped out to a big early lead, I thought no way they lose. I wasn't sure about the UF defense since the gaudy numbers were against bad teams. But I didn't think there was any way they would give up all those points in the points in the 2nd half.

    Congrats to the Vols, the streak is over. Beat UGA and it's the SEC Champ game.

    Big day for you Tom, big win by the Vols and two trophies for cars.

    Congratulations.

    Terry, I am still in shock. I got concerned when we had a number of defensive players injured. But the Vols got the momentum and blew us out in the second half.

    I hope the Gators can recover and still have a good season.

    Right now the East looks like a lock for Tennessee. Georgia just looks bad so far.

    Congrats to all Vol fans everywhere.... one helluva comeback.

    They look like SEC East Champs at this point.

    I have a question for you Bill... How many laps will #81 be running this week? Not once, but twice he signaled fair catch on the 1 yard line. He dropped the ball on the first one and held on on the second one. His position coach must be beside himself!!!

    I don't have the time to post it but I just found a MEME that is hilarious from my point of view.

    Picture this: Peyton Manning standing at a podium. The caption over his head is: "No, I never beat Florida in 4 years"

    The caption underneath: "In 100 years, Florida has not produced a QB with a Superbowl ring... I have TWO!"

    Peyton 1... Media 0.
