The UCLA game will be very important to us, so we can hopefully start the season with a win, and use the open stretch to prepare for the SEC games coming, but not getting too far away from what we know is a gruelling 9-game stretch, and the need to rest our athletes as we can and build depth.

Fulmer

No wonder so many people in Tennessee don’t like him, he speaks Dorrellian!

it’s a bit of a dig at UCLA. I mean, ok, it’s probably a down year for us, but putting the game against UCLA a level below the SEC games is a bit, shall we say, arrogant. As usual. But hey, I welcome Fulmer’s slight overconfidence, we saw how well they fared the last time they had to actually travel for an away game. Bring it, dough boy.

I don't see it a slight

Conference games always take precedence over other games. While I hope the Bruins take every game seriously, the Pac 10 games take precedence over non-conference games for us too. Now the fact that he only makes sense half the time is another matter.

I'm nitpicking

but it’s pretty obvious that his “grueling” 9-game stretch doesn’t include UCLA. I’m not offended, but it does seem like he treats the UCLA game as a preseason type game. Hopefully that’ll come to bite him in the arse.
