I was on the Internet causally browsing the Wikipedia article about the Tennessee Florida rivalry. I ran into this little tidbit of information of which I had no knowledge. I was thunderstruck.
Manning was supposed to be the lead story going into the 1995 match-up. The heralded sophomore led the Vols into the game as a media darling. Sports Illustrated was set to put Manning on the cover of their magazine the week following the game regardless of the outcome. Early in the game the Volunteers looked poised to thump the Gators, as they were up by 16 points during parts of the first half. As the game wore on and rain deluged the fans and players, momentum shifted into the Gators' favor. The Gators scored 48 straight points to turn a 30–14 deficit into a 62–37 win. Danny Wuerffel, who had come into the previous year's game off the bench in mop-up duty, threw for six touchdowns and found himself on the cover of Sports Illustrated instead of Manning.

So our Peyton and UT fans not only had to suffer this chocking loss but endure the public ridicule of being replaced on the cover of Sports Illustrated with Florida's Golden Boy, Danny F'n Wueffel. I'm getting furious just learning about this humiliation. Unbelievable.
OK. Enough of that blast from the Past. Let's talk about the immediate future. You're forgetting one little problem.
You are still the Will Muchamp coached Florida Gators coming off the worst season in over half a century playing the avenging Tennessee Volunteers in in the hostile pit of Neyland stadium.
Advantage, Tennessee
I've made a decision. As much as Bluegrass is a integral part of Southern Appalachian culture I'm not going to come in here playing "Rocky Top" when victory is ours. My theme song and consequently Tennessee's theme song will be "Jump Up" by House of Pain. I looked the song up. Yo, Mr. 6th Grader. "Jump Up" came out about the year you were born. It's Gaelic White Boy Hip Hop for your information
This is my message to the 2014 Florida Gators..........
