Richt may well get that win but he'll always wish he had gotten the Georgia WR (Da'Rick Rogers) instead of the Tennessee kid (Marlon Brown) who turned out to be a bust.

Should be some fun individual matchups in this game. Da'Rick against that Georgia secondary is no doubt the most exciting.

I like that approach. Make it about you, not them. I don't know if Dooley will ultimately be successful or not but boy he sure says the right things.

Very excited about this game. It will be a huge challenge for the Vols defense but I think Bray and company will be able to move the ball through the air. Whoever wins certainly has a leg up in the race to Atlanta.

Palardy must kick better if the Vols hope to win any game in October after Buffalo (UGA, LSU, Bama, SC). It is important for him to get his head right and do well this weekend heading into that killer stretch.

Hope the Vols can adjust to the absence of Hunter. A strong running game would help. In fact, we might go 0 for October after the Buffalo game if we don't establish the run. Dooley desperately needs a signature win against UGA, LSU, Bama, or SC. Gonna be tough.

Not sure I see the connection between Fulmer and this mess with Kiffin. Did the program slide under Fulmer? Of course. Did Lane Kiffin and staff cheat like crazy? Yes. A criticism of Kiffin is not a defense of Fulmer.

Dooley's dad is not the AD at Georgia. Nice try though.

So tired of the mess that Kiffin's bunch continues to leave behind.
