Is Tennessee setting a trap for Bama?

[Jamos]

After last weekend, whose the next high ranked team to fall? Bama will face a team Saturday they will come into Bryant Denny with upset on their minds. I remember just a few years ago that Mount Cody saved Bama from a certain defeat by blocking a field goal attempt on the last play of the game. I can't remember but it seems Bama was a big favorite that day, not sure.

Tennessee has improved their play the past two games, losing to Georgia in a game two weeks ago that they should have won and then beating South Carolina this past Saturday. I can promise you that they are licking their chops for Bama this Saturday.

Per the odds makers, Bama is a 27 point favorite this weekend  so do you think this is posted in their locker room? It doesn't take a whole lot to get an underdog team into a frenzy that only fuels their fire come gametime and you can believe that Tennessee is coming in here to play like thay have nothing to lose and a whole lot to gain. This is Tennessee versus Bama and they've come out on the short end of the stick for quite some time now.

From what I've been hearing this week, many of the Bama players don't understand this rivalry the way all of us know it and this is what concerns me. This isn't just another conference game, this is Tennessee and you better be ready.

If I remember that year Bama had played 8 or 9 straight games and each team they played had had an open date before their game with Bama.  UT did make it a close game.  I think Bama is more rested and moving toward a goal.  I am not sure about the huge point spread, but it think Bama wins.

The best thing about it is the fact that they almost beat UGA in OT and then they did beat USC.  Our boys will take them seriously and will be ready to play too.

We were heavy favorites in the '09 game, so that goes to show you that anything can happen. Bama needs to keep building the momentum they've been working up over the last few games. UT has improved and I would rather be impaled by a rusty pitchfork than lose to Tennessee. 2 weeks ago, everyone thought that the only tough game left on our schedule was LSU. Now, it looks like an improved UT team and Auburn could give us a run for our money.

Be ready boys!!!

BINGO!!! I still think we handle them something like 35-7, 35-10, etc.

I was listening to Chris Stewart's show this morning and he had an ex Bama QB on that had interviewed some of the players after the game Saturday night. He said he asked some of them if they knew what "Hate Tennessee" was and they responded that not really, they didn't know too much about the past rivalry with Tennessee like the players in the past did. That kind of got my attention. Where is Goosetree when we need him?

Has LSU replaced UT in theses youngsters eyes as well as mine as being a bigger rivalry?

And I don't like pumpkins.

That dude is funnier everytime I listen to it. Maybe Cochran has that blasting in the locker room everyday.

Even pumpkins don't like Vol orange.

I think this will be the closest game we've had since aTm, and will be closer than the point spread.  But I think we can pull away in the second half unless we really screw up on defense.

I'm imagining a solid 20-30 point win.  Anything is possible, but this season is nothing like 2009.  That team didn't have the depth that this team has.  That team was playing its 8th consecutive game.  That team was struggling, this team seems to be getting better every week.  That team was not resting the starters because they were struggling, this team has had opportunities to rest the starters. 

I expect it to stay close in the first half, but see Bama wear them down in the second.

I'm be more worried that the Tennessee players might break into apartments, cars, and lockers while in Tuscaloosa than commit an upset.
