I can't wait for the Vol football season to start.   I loved the first game of last year .I remember as Cal came onto the field to start the game.  The house was full and the crowd was rocking. You could see it in Cal's body language. "Wow, This place is big! Look at all these fans! These people are serious!

On the opening kickoff  of the game the biggest baddest player for Cal, the one they had been hyping all week, got literally knocked out cold. As they carried him off the field his legs quaking, you could see it all over the Cal sidelines.  It was over. They were beat, mentally.

 The "what have we gotten ourselves into?" , "This is going to be a  long, long day" ,"OK the SEC really is a  different level" ,"scheduling this game was a mistake" Could be heard all the way back to California.

Tennessee smoked em.

Now the bears want  pay back.  They are giving out 50,000 megaphones to their fans to try to get stadium sound up to Tennessee level.  Don't hold your breath waiting for  that to  come to pass.

I expect Cal to play harder and the entire game.  Our D should be solid as always but a sluggish O, a Tennessee pass game that is limited due to a broken pinky of our QB and the bears stacking the box to stifle the run will keep the score low.
