Welcome to the Virtual Tailgate for the Tennessee Volunteers at Kentucky Wildcats football game. This is a long rivalry between two neighbors in the SEC that has, with the advent of Butch Jones and Mark Stoops as coaches of the Volunteers and Wildcats respectively, become a much more interesting rivalry than it has been in this century. Oh, yes, and Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
The Vols are coming off a loss at Alabama that easily could’ve been a victory, and Kentucky is coming off a drubbing in Starksville, Mississippi. Based on those performances, you’d have to favor Tennessee even in Lexington, but we’ll have more on the game later.
