There will be plenty of time for handwringing and prognostication, but enjoy this victory over one of our hated rivals at least for one night!

I even changed my avatar to this psycho looking dude in honor of going into Knoxville and getting a win.

Raise a glass, shout out loud or dance in a barn like you've been forbidden to for over a decade -Rocky Top is quiet for one more year! Rejoice!

I don't consider them a hated rival anymore, but it WOULD have sucked to lose to those rednecks.

All I had to see was them checkerboarding us, a group signal that they truly expected to beat us, to stir that hatred up again.

And I totally agree, it would have truly sucked to lose that streak and lose to them.

Win is a win at this point. I have this tiny bit of hope that WM learned something also.

I admit I didn't think Harden had a chance.

And I never thought we'd see Treon.

I still can't believe we pulled that win out.

When we went down 3-0 it looked grim, I know - glad we could give them an unhappy ending!

I was listening on the radio when Austin hit that kick, Mick's mood went from resigned to BALLISTIC when it went through the uprights. I don't think anyone outside the UF team thought he was going to make that kick. :lol:

The best part, besides the three points, was that you didnt even have to see the ball to know if it was good or not, the sweet sound of Knoxville silence was all you needed.

The UT fans should actually be happy - normally they're filing out in the 3rd quarter. They at least got to stay for the forth in this one.

Good road win to keep the streak alive. I'm in a much better frame of mind. Let's get some momentum going so these kids build some confidence.

I know they were praying that Driskel stayed in the game...that was their best chance to win.

My standards are not that low. I am happy for the boys. But lets not pretend that we beat anybody important.

Well I'm taking it and enjoying it - there will other days for practical behavior.

This win felt so good because we know it really hurt the vol fans. This was their reality check. Idk how to explain it but it just seemed like we ripped their hearts out today.

I talked to a few of them tonight. The are destroyed. We tore their hearts out and fed them to Vandy. They feel completely humiliated and want to fire their OC. Mission accomplished.


And certainly there's some satisfaction in that.

But we were [holds up hands] "this close" to being on the other side of the teeter-totter. It's just too darn exciting, kinda like I always imagined eating Japanese fugu would be.

Maybe that"s what Muschamp means when he keeps saying Driskel gives them the best chance to win. He's talking about our opponents.
