Sort of like put a shine on a turd? (pardon the expression)

One could easily think that might have a bearing on this game but when in our series have we seen that matter? For that matter, when have we seen one of the teams, coming in as an underdog, come out with a victory?

I understand the "most hated rival" portion of your question and that's true when you look at Fulmer's apporach to this game.

But, that said, when have we seen this years Volunteer team buy into what their staff has been saying? Fulmer himself mentioned a few weeks ago that the leadership a team needs isn't found on this years Vol squad.

I think it'll be an intense contest, for a little while, like I mentioned in the preview. But, I also know if they get punched in the mouth they'll be reeling the entire game. I've not seen a thing in the last few years from UT that makes me have the slightest reason to believe otherwise.
