Doug thought I would be too humble to bring it up. Yeah right. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to refer you all to a specific bit of my earlier UGA football preview post… ahem… and I quote… myself:

I just don’t get the hype surrounding the Vomited-Carrot Orange this year. Refer to football rule number two: If you’re one week from the opening of the season and STILL not sure who your starting quarterback will be, you’re in more trouble than you think. Yes, they’ll have probably the 2nd-best running game/O-line in the conference, but UT won’t be able to extract victory from their collective rectums like they did last year. And that Neyland Stadium home-field advantage? Not as important as it used to be my friends. A big special teams play (remember Damien Gary in the 2001 “P-44″ game? Most people don’t.) helps the Dawgs squeak one out.

Dawgs win a razor-thin close one. Maybe. Player of the game: Thomas Flowers.

Revel in my brilliance, all of you. I can’t yet claim the Greatest Football Analyst Of All Time title, mainly because I said the Dawgs would win a “razor-thin close one.” Nobody’s perfect.

Full Knoxvegas weekend recap and pics to follow soon.
