About 30 minutes from kickoff in Winston-Salem and I'm pulling for the Wildcats over the Vols in Lexington.
Yeah, it would be nice for the Commodores to play a bowl game in either Nashville or Memphis, and for the Vols to play in a bowl game, well, nowhere.
Of course, while the Cats just forced a punt and are trying their best to take care of business, the Commodores must take care of business too.
I'm not nervous about this one, though. I think we've got a decent chance to beat Wake Forest and I believe we'll play much better than we did last week. But I also believe that we don't need to win this game for the season to be a success. Sure, it'd be really nice to get another month of practice.
But I'm not going to freak out if we lose. Think what we've learned about this team since September:
1. We've found us an outstanding head coach.
2. We've got an offense that can find a way to move the ball and score against top-flight SEC defenses.
3. We've found a quarterback, we've developed a decent offensive line, and our receivers are making tough catches in traffic against SEC defensive backs.
4. We're getting commitments in droves from SEC-caliber players.
5. We're taking Top 5 teams to the wire.
6. We're nearly unstoppable on our home turf.
7. The future has never been brighter if you're a Commodore fan.
None of this changes if we lose today, but heck, let's top it off with a something we haven't done this season (win a road game) and do something nobody thought we could do (win six games and go to a bowl.
Let's do it!

Well, the Tenn/UK game is over. My father in-law-went to Commonwealth with the tickets today so I hope he is happy, and to me, the tailgaiting in Lexington is some of the best in the SEC. My prediction was a UK win on Senior Day. Now for Wake Forest/VU.
Good on UK! They got up off the floor after the Commies beat them senseless. Who would have thought they'd play UGa tough and then knock UT out of a bowl.
