You know what the most fun part of the game was?
Listening to the shock in the ESPN announcers' voices as the Vols utterly destroyed the Bulldogs over the second half.
Sorry, ESPN, we decided not to follow your script.
Did anybody else catch it late in the fourth quarter, when the announcer started talking about how the Tennessee game showed how good a team Florida was?
I didn't see a Gator on the field, did you? Here's a hint, ESPN; talk about the freakin' game you're broadcasting, not last week's game, or the game you wish you were watching.
One last thing and I'll lay off ESPN for a bit. I waited through the boring baseball stuff to get to Sportscenter's coverage of the UT game, and if I hadn't just watched the game, I wouldn't have known that UT won. Every highlight was Georgia scoring, and the only comment they made about Tennessee was "Boy, they need help on special teams."
Yeah, that's certainly a bigger story than UT scoring 51 points on the number one ranked scoring defense in the NCAA.
Man, what a game! The Vol defense, patched up and held together with duct tape, held the Dawgs to 9 second half points while the offense exploded for 30 points, not counting the blocked punt. Way to go Wardlow! Cutcliffe supplemented a fair running game with a strong short passing attack that kept Georgia scratching their heads and sniffing their tails as they tried to come up with a way to stop the Tennessee attack.
Now it's time to get ready for Bama in two weeks. I don't care that they struggled against Duke. The Tide Vol game is always a battle.
I'm looking forward to it...
