Oklahoma was originally scheduled to play at Tulane on Saturday, but because of the storm, their game is now in Norman.

Could always switch locations. :-k

Checking the forecast in Knoxville, looks like the rain will be exiting sometime tomorrow afternoon. I doubt there any impacts on the game getting played on time. Don't know if BG is bussing or flying either. Always the potential for road closures due to flooding, but in my opinion the game gets played without any issues.

More interested to see how we look as a team (organized, disciplined, fundamentally sound) than anything. It's a shame we aren't an 8-9 win team or this would absolutely be one ripe for the picking. BG for whatever reason has always been a major conference killer

Boots on the ground. Cool and overcast. No issue driving in. Team left around 1pm, flying in.

If you're looking for a good place to hang out with lots of food choices, head down to Market Square. Stock & Barrel has a great burger and whiskey selection. My wife is from Knoxville so I've been there a lot. Really wanted to make it to this game but I have to be at the game of the university I currently work for.

Enjoy! Glad there weren't any flooding issues on the trip down. Hoping for a respectable showing.

BG is wearing orange helmets, white jerseys, and orange pants.

Tennessee is wearing white helmets, orange jerseys, and white pants.

Don't get confused watching this game tomorrow night. Lol

Call me a pessimist...but I have a gut feeling we won't play a full season this year
It's not the fall that hurts...it's when you hit the ground.

There's a decent chance of this happening until all the players get vaccinated.

Tennessee will be the team running into the end zone on a consistent basis.

Was just there . Staying at Crowne Plaza adjacent to MS. Of course, this is the Tennessee team hotel! Ugh! Seems to be a great small town. Very nice thus far. Going to BG hotel now for team time.

My score prediction on another thread was I think 52-20. Honestly I'd be happy to score 20 points. I'd be happy if the offense is capable of finishing several drives against an SEC defense. That would show significant progress from prior seasons.
