Too bad Tenn gave them life with that blocked punt but we'll see what happens in the 2nd half.
Care to compare the Big Ten with the SEC? Do what I'm doing and flip back and forth between UC's game at Illinois and the UT game in Knoxville. The crowd in Champaign resembles what you'd find at Musiv Hall. The difference in enthusiasm is huge and palpable
Champaign-Urbana isn't exactly football country. Auburn drew 85,000 for their spring scrimmage following a historically poor season. There must be extra fluoride in the drinking water in Champaign or something. Also, UT is traditionally one of the greatest football programs in NCAA history. The Illini? Not so much.

To his credit, after seeing the teams, this person changed his tune and said something that's now obvious:

Tennessee now has a very tough road ahead of them and I expect they'll get blown out next week, particularly in the 2nd half, but they were never in danger of losing this game. They're a much, much better team than WKU, as they should be. This was a ridiculous upset pick

You're making my point. Tenn is a great football tradition and they're an also ran in the SEC. There is no place in the SEC that'd be as quiet as Champaign if their team was ahead by 3 TDs

What about my post steered you in a wrong direction? The Vols were +6 in turnover differential at half and were only up by 14. They got lucky that WKU imploded for roughly 5 minutes otherwise, the Vols had a fight on their hands. The SEC OCs will watch this tape and salivate.

Your comparison would be like a big 10 fan comparing the gameday experience of Michigan with Kentucky.

Well. It does hurt UGa in the computer polls. So there's that.
Re: SEC Football discussion thread #2
I wonder if UF fans are blaming Urban for their loss yesterday. Since they seem to blame all of their problems on Coach Meyer.

No, but they doubt OSU have less than 2 losses if they had to play Florida's schedule and the Buckeyes might lost 3-4 with the gator schedule.

:laugh: Dude, OSU would easily beat Miami. That was not a good looking game, UF just looks awful.
I just think it's pathetic hearing UF fans cry about Urban "leaving the cupboard bare" when his last year at UF brought them a Top 3 recruiting class.
Maybe Muschump just isn't a very good coach:dunno:
And UF could have 3-4 losses if they played in the B1G as well. OSU, UM, NW, Wisconsin-all potential losses if UF played in the B1G.
