NU fans, Wildcats all, greetings. I apologize for the VolTrolls on this board. Now, I know you have some fans who can be just as obnoxious as the VolTrolls, I still apologize. I was taught that when you go to someone's house to show respect for the home and the folks who live in it. I wish the VolTrolls would do this. Or at least realize a truth. Going to other university boards and acting like the precise picture of the stereotypical Tennessee uneducated hicks and rednecks they make the UT and UT fans look just as bad as some folks imagine us to be. Now, I understand trash talking but in my years of roaming boards, usually as a lurker, I'm ashamed of some of the arrogant posts I have seen from UT fans. And it appears it's already starting here. Very sorry.
As for the bowl game, like many of my fellow Vols fans, I wanted Michigan. I think it would have been a more viable match. Being two once proud programs climbing, clawing,and dragging their way out of holes of irrelevance. It would have been a real fun and riveting match up in my view. But I'm sort of glad we got you. You've won more games, made some noise with wins like the Stanford spanking. I honestly admit that beyond a passing familiarity I didn't and still don't know much about NU. Didn't even realize you were in Illinois until tonight. But then, I didn't know we had a Russian named city in the USA (Idaho) until a few years ago.either. I guess the Will Rogers adage that everybody is ignorant about something is right on the money. Anyhow, you don't win 10 games by being a pushover, even the lizard men (Florida) with all their pure dumb luck had a stifling defense and admittedly a steroid fueled QB to get their wins. They weren't exactly pushovers. So I expect the UT-NU game to be very entertaining with both teams coming out feeling they have something to prove. NU to stick it to the big bad SEC. UT to beat a 10 win team to show we're on the way back to prominence for real. I expect some hard hitting and spectacular plays as the dynamite goes boom all game long. Finally, not all Vols fans are VolTrolls, it's just that there are enough of them to make it seem that way. VolTrolls, take Coach Jones advice he gave that disgusting Oklahoma player after the game. "Have some "dayum" class!"
This is very likely the only post you will ever see from me here. I might turn up to lurk but not comment. When I visit an opponent's board it's just that, a visit. It's very rare to see me post after my initial one. So all you Wildcats going to the game, travel safely both ways. Those staying at home to watch on TV, enjoy every minute of it win, lose or draw. Joy is hard to come by in this crazy world of ours these days. But for one day and three plus hours, may yours be a joy when it's football time in Tampa.
