Tenne see coach Butch Jones had a chance Graham Knott Jersey to answer another question about Florida and the 11-game losing streak in the rivalry at SEC Media Days on Tuesday."You always have to learn from previous experiences and past experiences, and that's something we've spoken about ever since we started our offseason program, Jones answered before dovetailing into other topics.MORE:|He talked about a video compilation Jalen Reeves-Maybin showed the team. He talked about clutch situations. He even mentioned LeBron James and Game 7. He talked for two minutes and didnt mention the word Florida one time in the monologue.That was by design. Jones said earlier this summer at the SEC meetings he treats Florida with that . Tenne see is the presumed favorite to win the SEC East and looks ready to compete for itsfirst conference championship since 1998. The Title IX suit is settled, and Jones talked repeatedly about sustained succe s. Theres nothing wrong with building a program with more than .College football, however, is the one sport where those one or two games mean everything. Ask Michigan, a school thatbeat everybody on itsBig Ten schedule last year minusMichigan State and Ohio State. It leaves Chris Kunitz Jersey something left to be desired.Thats the spot Tenne see is in now. It can talk about other games this year, such asthe Battle at Bristol against Virginia Tech, the showdown with defending national champion Alabama and the po sibility ofits first SEC championship game since 2007, but despite Jones me sage, the rest of us are looking at something else. Consider what SEC Network analyst Paul Finebaum said earlier in the day on the telecast.(Jones) has a lot of big games, but none bigger in my mind everybody wants to talk about Alabama beat Florida first, Jones said. If you can't beat Florida at Neyland Stadium, you really have no hope."MORE:Finebaum is right on target. Florida might be one game on the schedule, but its not just one Stan Mikita Jersey game. Its an 11-game streak in the rivalry that stretches back to 2005. Its a thorn in Tenne sees side that dates back to Steve Spurrier. The Gators are 20-6 against the Volunteers since Spurrier took over in 1990, and that includes a 6-2 record in games where Tenne see is ranked higher in the AP Poll.Florida also is the defending SEC East champion, and itsplayers arent exactly ready to settle into an Knoxville on Sept. 24. Jim McElwain flipped that program in one year. This might be one game to Jones, but its still the Cam Ward Jersey most-important game on Tenne sees schedule.Its more than one game as far this yeargoes.Its not the only big game, though. Jones faces afront-loaded schedule that includes a Thursday night opener against Appalachian State and the Battle at Bristol with Virginia Tech before Florida and games against Georgia, Texas AM and Alabama after Florida. Tenne sees first seven opponents had a combined winning percentage of .723 last season.Everything adds up, and it gets to a point where you program gets in an opportunity like we have to be able to compete week in and out, Jones said.That also opens up the door for two scenarios. If Tenne see can get to Florida unbeaten and break that streak, then that could work wonders for the program. The pre sure of that one game will be gone. If the Volunteers can get through that four-game SEC stretch with one lo Jonathan Toews Jersey s or le s, then chances are they are going to Atlanta.MORE:On the other hand, another lo s to Florida could raise the same questions as usual. Jones pointed out that Tenne see was 13-5 in itslast 18 games, and those five lo ses were by 25 points. The last two lo ses to the Gators were by one point each. Tenne see is close, and everybody can feel it.Outside of maybe Michigan, no FBS program has been talked about more this offseason."You want those expectations, Jones said. I think it's a compliment to everybody in our program in how far you've come."A win against Florida would get Tenne see a little bit farther down thatroad toward a SEC championship. Everybody knows that.Maybe that was why Jones didnt say a thing.
