Serious question: with ESPN currently airing the Nationwide race from Chicago, could kickoff get pushed back if the race runs late?

florida board is saying there starting running back gill is in street cloths and not playing can you confirm this?

My eyes aren't great, but he seems to be warming up on the field — but he does look a bit gimpy, if I had to guess.
I'll keep watching. I won't get any smarter, but perhaps I can eventually figure this out.

I was kinda remissed that no one has mentioned the Vols D at all. Dave Pollack was all over gameday saying D wins games. I know we're untested, and give up a ton on the slant/seam routes. But we get pressure on the QB, force hurries and now we get a chance to get big Man Mountain in there to eat some lineman. I am really interested to see how our D continues to develop today against a good team.

Good luck against the Gators guys.
I know you hate us. With good reason. But I always monitor the Tenn board bc of family ties to Tenn. Very glad to see that Dooley has gotten things to go in the right direction so far.
I really hope Vols punch Florida in the mouth and u guys betray the mediocre expectations the media has set for the program this year--
Fight On!

I think I get why Coleman is starting over Teague tonight at corner.
Florida's really physical, and Coleman is UT's most physical corner.
Makes sense to me.

I hope Sal is pointing out how NOBODY is talking about the Tennessee defense. It's statement time for those guys.

17 laps to go in the race, I doubt kickoff will be before 6:15

Pregame prayer in Neyland was an Our Father that ended with "Amen ... Go big orange!"
It seems our Maker has chosen sides going into this particular football game.

Dear ESPN:
The race is over, I don't care about bad wedge adjustments or runner-up comments. Shut down the cameras and start the damn game already!!!
They're starting the game on ESPN News
