| | Here we go again
| No one knows as much about the Vols as we do. While we are aware of the 106 returning starts to the o-line, the 2 new JUCO d-linemen, the three-headed monster at WR... most voters are either only vaguely aware or unaware of what we are bringing to the table this season. The fact we are at #33 is almost a mild surprise considering where we ended last season. |

| I remember in the early 2000s, you NEVER heard mention of Alabama. They were non-factors & forgotten about. They came back to prominance (unfortuniately!) Tennessee will too. We are on our way back!! | |

| we will have to
earn a good ranking and some respect.
What really matters is what we do on the field.
An inch at a time, a play at a time, a quarter at a time, and a game at a time.
Bite, kick, scratch, gouge, and fight for every inch of turf.
Motivation!. | |

I dont even know what this means. Do you have any idea of the logistical problem of playing a doubleheader in the Dome? I'm glad its a Friday game, I'm going to both of them. | |

The AP poll just goes ahead and ranks everyone. | |

| How did Louisvile sneak in there? A team that lost to both FIU and Marshall at home last year? Hopefully, this will set us up for an easy entry into the top 25...and please no lube jokes... | |
