Butch is clearly unaware of the midget standing next to him.

Tennessee is not an "up-and-comer." 11th in all-time wins, Just been down.

 

[FiremedicVOL127]

With all this hype, it's hard to temper expectations for this team! Gotta stay grounded.......gotta be realistic.......

Ahh screw it, WERE GONNA GO 10-2!!!!!!!!

 

[Vol Catdaddy]

Man! The quote that vol fans hope that the 2015 season starts tomorrow is an understatement!

 

[zero-sum]

N'awlins, baby

9th if you don't count the Ivy league schools.

I think we understand where they are coming from.

 

[TennesseeVols16]

Definitely, but you can't call Bama an "old standby" while saying that about Tennessee. Bama has been down before too. Not that long ago either.

Agreed! This is all a smoke screen until proven otherwise. ESPN setting expectations way too high, so if we even go 9-3, fans will be pissed.

 

[MFL]

me presumptuous -----10+ wins all the way:rock::rock:

If those are 3 SEC games...yes I would be unhappy..but this espn article has nothing to do with it.
The coach Debord hire was a signal from CBJ we are ready to kick butt. (in my opinion):rtfm::rtfm:

PS Nike and ESPN are sex partners and in bed together..
Nike store on ESPN.com
They love Tennessee now
I'll take all the hype they throw our way

Butch has potential to do at Tennessee what saban has done at bama. He's shown he can get the players, now just turn it into wins.

Definitely has the potential but still Saban is in a category all by himself. He has been the most dominant football recruiter of my lifetime and can't imagine anyone surpassing what he has done. I hate Alabama with a passion but have a ton of respect for Saban as a coach and particularly as a recruiter.

 

[gobraves101035]

I'm so ready to beat alabama this year

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

If alasalami is so great a team go be alasalami fans. Personally I think they got lucky as hell for a few years. Elmer fudd could have done the same.

Maybe on the field, but you can't attribute luck to 8 top 5 recruiting classes in 8 years (6 #1 classes).

Oh I agree, saban, as bad as it hurts to say, is one great coach. Butch is still young, and has some fire. I hope he can be a legend at Tennessee.
