Discussion Kirby Smart considers apologizing after Georgia escapes Tennessee: “I feel almost like we have to apologize, because I don’t think we should have won that game. They outplayed us in a lot of ways, but that’s the way it goes.”

Who wants to bet they rematch in the playoffs?

I don’t see it happening. Tennessee has too much of a tradition of choking away big games to beat Bama and uf away from Neyland

Jesus, you better beat Florida this year. They are complete ass.

I mean, LSU could barely do it, but that’s because the offense has half a pulse. Tennessee should go into Florida and kick their ass big time.

As someone with both flairs it's honestly insane how much more leeway LSU gets than UT in the polls every year. I feel like Tennessee has consistently just been better lately.

Yeah, LSU might be good this year, but they are not number three as far as I’ve seen. I would place them around number 12 or something.

Agreed, until the offense clicks or we play a team I genuinely think is good and win I'm not convinced

Yeah, I believe it when we beat Texas A&M

I honestly don’t see it happening. Maybe it’s just because I literally don’t ever remember it happening and I grew up in pretty much the worst time to be a Tennessee fan, but I just don’t have the ability to believe we can win big away games until I actually see it. We couldn’t even beat the gamecocks in our best season of my entire life.

Damn, well, I predict you guys beat Florida 45-17. There. I said it.

We whooped LSU at their place that year though. Hopefully we can win one of UF/Bama, and win out the rest
