KNOXVILLE — At Monday’s Tennessee football media luncheon, senior defensive tackle Malik Jackson returned to halftime of Saturday’s 20-12 loss to Georgia
“Everybody was excited,” he said. “We were even with Georgia.”
No offense to the Bulldog Nation — which has far more to be excited about today than the Big Orange Nation — but that was a two-loss team the Volunteers were excited to be even with on home soil. The “others receiving votes” Bulldogs that UT was excited to be even with before the first sellout crowd of the season.
If you want a single quote to underscore the checkered present of Checkerboard U, none better represents it than that one.
“Everybody was excited. We were even with Georgia.”
