And now for the fun part:

There’s a reason we wait til Mondays on these things: not too high, not too low, etc. But I’m very curious to see where our community will land after Saturday’s beat down.

In addition, our next two opponents didn’t exactly cover themselves in glory. South Carolina beat Troy 23-14, their anemic offense again aided by a pick six. And Ole Miss was down 35-0 to Alabama after the opening drive of the third quarter. Again, it’s Bama; I don’t expect our win percentage against the Tide will rise significantly, even after what we did to Missouri. But the Rebels don’t come out of that performance looking like a bigger challenge than they did a week ago.

Even Kentucky, who vanquished Florida in Lexington, did so in a fashion that doesn’t cause additional concern for the Vols (so long as you don’t let them block a field goal and run it back for a touchdown). You’ll note Hendon Hooker in the upper right quadrant from Saturday here:

And Will Levis waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy down there at the bottom. And they still won! Congrats!

But is your number for Kentucky going up or down this week?

It was a very good weekend around here. Curious to see how good and very good the win totals look this week in response.

Go Vols.
