[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 316212, member: 1191"] I spent the weekend up in the Great Smokey Mountains in the Gatlinburg area. As per usual, I was wearing GT gear. (Blue shirt so our fahionista [USER=435]@Supersizethatorder-mutt[/USER] can yell at me later :D) To get back to my point, I had a LOT of UT fans speak to me about the upcoming game. What I learned from these conversations: 1. There are going to be a LOT of UT fans at that game. We need to show up big. 2. Most UT fans aren't quite as certain of the game as the message board fans. I had a lot of long-time fans tell me that, quite frankly, they are worried about playing GT. Now don't get me wrong, most were still fairly confident they could and would win, but this game really scares them. 3. They aren't as dissatisfied with their coach as the various football boards would have you believe. Most see progress and understand that rebuilding a program takes time and isn't easy. I honestly thought more people would be in the fir Butch Jones camp at this point, given typical $EC tendencies... 4. The subject of [S]amputation at the knee[/S] cut blocks/chop blocks [B]NEVER CAME UP[/B]. This also kind of surprised me. 5. Most expected a lower scoring game. Most predictions were in the 24-21 category at most. They aren't real confident in their offense right now, especially with a new QB. Not that any of this matters, just thought I'd share. [/QUOTE]
