Join us during the game beginning between 6:30 and 7:00 (Central), Gustav willing. We will be posting comments about our impressions of the game in real-time, live from The Rose Bowl during the game on today. We welcome all those in our community here to share their thoughts on how well The Battle Captain is dominating Rick Whats-his-nuts, and how awesome the team looks against the hapless UCLA Bruins.

PASADENA, Calif. — Dave Crompton sat in the third row of the Rose Bowl on Sunday afternoon, watching his son Jonathan toss a few passes during Tennessee’s walk-through for tonight’s season-opener against UCLA.

“Jonathan’s fine,” he said, when asked to assess his son’s nerves. “But I’m ready to watch him play. We’ve waited a long time for this.”

According to UT coach Phillip Fulmer, his whole team has waited a long time for this. Basically waited longer than every other major college program save the Bruins.
