Man, I can't wait for this game. I bought tickets a couple months back through UK Athletics and still haven't received my tickets. Anyone else in the same boat?

May seem like a dumb question, but won't be the first I ever asked. Will your tickets be paper or electronic?

Electronic. Athletic Department said they usually appear around a month out (I know we're just slightly more than that), but curious if this is happening for everyone else as well.

I understand the apprehension of not having them but may be a little early to panic. They will be there.

I have no information on the tickets but I do have some advice about going to this game. I have attended the UK game there in years past. I have also attended UK games at several other SEC venues. TN is absolutely the worst environment by far I have encountered - foul and nasty comments walking to the stadium, the same at the concession stands and restrooms, and the same walking out of the stadium. At other SEC venues, you have the occasional comment but its mostly gentle bantering. At TN, it is hostile name calling bordering on being challenged to fight simply because you are wearing a clothing item with the UK logo. Just be prepared

Yep. Worst road games of my life were at Knoxville. When I was a UK student we won down there and we won when I attended in the 70's Fran Curci team. It is one place I will never return to.
 
For some reason we just shit the bed against UT. Should have a 5 game winning streak against them but gave away three very winnable games.

Let just say I’m hoping for a win but don’t expect it. Wish they would have made the wrong hire again but heupel has done well

I live in Knoxville and won't be going to the game. The stadium is a dump, you are packed in like sardines, the fans are awful, parking is terrible and I can only imagine it all will be 10 times worse with beer being sold all game.
Other that that it's a great place to go to a game!
 
We’ll lose this one. No history of shutting down potent offenses. Just can’t score enough with them.

I do worry about our D vs. those uptempo, whip it around offenses. However, the D looks much more disciplined this year - which is the key. Ole Miss will be the test. They have a similar style. If we look somewhat decent against them, then I'll feel good about UTooth.
 
If we stay healthy, this D is much better matchup for them. Last year we had DBS hesitant to hit anyone. Exactly the opposite this year.

We just can't lose anyone else in the secondary. It's really getting iffy if we go one player deeper back there

Man, you remember how silly Valentine looked last year vs UT? Can you imagine him looking that bad this year? Now, add in the fact our entire defense is better than last year....as well as our offense.....well, it's going to be a good one, and I like our chances.

Ole Miss is actually more of a running team this year. Miss St I believe will be a better comparison and test for UK.
 
Our ‘history’ has changed a lot in the past few years and we’re still on an upward trajectory. I’m nervous about every single game but we can beat UT. I’ll be edgy but definitely feel we can win. A few years ago- not so much.
I agree but Stoops still shows a lot of struggle with potent offenses.

I hope we win but I need to see Stoops schemes work against potent offenses first. It's been a struggle. Luckily C Rod will be back.
 
I'm more worried about our offensive line tbh. They have struggled in all three games.

Youngstown state's D line pushed our O line around and got in our backfield at will.

I would like to see more wideout screens, tight end dump passes and quick passes out to the flat, to help loosen up the rush, because if Youngstown and Miami of Ohio can push our O line around, UT's D line will own us.
