    With the win over Kentucky, the Hill Toppers struggled on run defense and the run game is our strength so far this year. After a "leave it all on the field" effort, I expect the Hill Toppers to come out flat and Tennessee to pull off another easy victory before catching the flight out to challenge the Ducks.

    I think you should probably worry. They ran for 200 and threw for almost 300. Petrino's offense is always tough. You'll need to play keep away from them with your power rushing attack. If you try to get into a shoot out, you just might lose.

    Tom - saw this and thought of you

    <r>I don't know if you ride but I came across this bike while shopping eBay. Thinking back to the 1998 UF@UT game .... I bid $2017 on the bike.<br/>

    Well, I don't want buy the bike ........ although it is pretty nice, even the colors ....... just honor the 1998 MNC Volunteers since this is the 15th anniversary of that team/season :!:

    And the first SEC BCS title, I believe.

    Back to topic, I forgot that Bobby Petrino was now at W.Kentucky. I wonder if he'll get another shot at a major Div 1 school...ie can he rehab his image along with winning a bunch of games at W.Kentucky? I thought that Mike Price would get UTEP going and then move back up the ladder, but that never happened. He did ok at UTEP but probably not well enough for anybody to take on his missteps at Alabama. He retired.

    Thanks Gaterzfan. Actually Cindy and I both ride. However, she has never had good balance and my balance worsened two years ago. We both ride Harley Trikes. Here are pictures of both a the dealership when we were taking delivery... about 6 months apart.

    Dang ........... those are beautiful. Really very nice. Some day ........

    In July my wife decided to move up and purchased a nice used 2008 Deluxe from Destination Daytona. Years ago, we lived next door to one of Bruce Rossmeyer's daughters and have stayed in contact since ... so when it came time to make the move, she purchased from Daytona Harley. I've spent the last 3 months trying to decide between a Road King and Heritage and finally decided on a Heritage. Presently I am riding a Honda Fury and old BMW R100RT. I found a nice 2011 Heritage in Mobile and have set that purchase in motion.

    I saw the Heritage I posted earlier on eBay and thought it was Tennessee "orange and white". Well, the owner saw my bid and handle on eBay - "gaterz3" ... and sent me an email telling me it is "Gator orange" ... with a blue pinstripe between the orange and white. LOL ... I guess I am a bit color blind!!!!

    I agree with Corey. I the Vols will win but I think it's going to be tough.

    Defense causing turnovers is the difference in this one so far.

    Yep, we needed that. Defense is playing tough. Running game is strong. Air arrack needs work. On to Oregon to play the Ducks. One brick at a time!

    So the Hilltoppers were turning it over more than Petrino on his bike. I wonder if a major college team ever turned it over on each of its first 5 plays from scrimage before!
