He will be the next Anthony Miller for Tennessee (sans injury)!

1. At least one announcer will call Erik Ainge "Danny"

2. Hardesty will be hurt off and on all year, bringing out another round of "wait till he gets healthy, he's a beast" talks that never actually happen

3. Mayo raises his play to Kevin Burnett levels, with Al Wilson levels to follow next year.

4. Ainge has a statistically worse year this year then last but goes no later then the 3rd round in the draft.

5. Foster runs for over 1000 yards but has a critical fumble that costs us a game.

3. Tennessee will allow less than 3.7 yards per carry

4. Tennessee will lose one game on a missed game-winning FG attempt.

5. David Cutcliffe will not be our OC in the bowl game.

interesting...

1. Kenny O Neil learns to catch. After Vinson and the other young receivers catch on opponents secondaries begin playing back even more to defend the deep ball opening up the run game even more. Austin Rogers becomes the go-to guy on third downs. Chris Brown takes a back seat to Cottam.

2. One of our fresman backs have to play a significant amount of time due to injuries ot our top three.

3. Florida tanks this year without inexperienced defense as Meyers spread offense gets exposed. Georgia struggles, and so does Auburn.

4. Eric Berry is a freshman All American, and becomes Tennessee's first 2 time All-American in years.

5. Ainge stays healthy all Year and leads us to Atlanta and is drafted in the first round.

1) I said this a few months ago, but Florida will have a Zook-like season.

2) We win the East.

3) We lose to Cal or Sothern Miss by more than a touchdown

4) Kenny O'Neil neither busts nor excells and is a servicable WR at 3rd on the depth chart by mid-season.

5) The D keeps us in a game or two that offensive turnovers threaten to take us out of.

I'd certainly call that bold.

If those two predictions are correct, everybody saying the SEC is hands down the best conference will look like complete fools.

allvol123 · 08-12-2007, 01:11 PM

1) Creer gets major playing time after the UF game
2) We win a weak East Division due to having the correct losses
3) We get a rematch with Bammer in Atlanta
4) We beat Cal by more than 14
5) Ainge goes through a season and makes all the starts

Quite possibly, but not necessarily with the 7 wins. LOL

I should have clarified that he'd lead us in RECEPTIONS because he runs solid routes, he's very fast, and he has sure hands. We may end up leaning on him early to make some catches or be a slot guy while being the only constant on the field while the other guys are going outside and getting used to gametime speed.

1. Ainge will stuggle in big SEC games, due in large part to inexperienced WR corps.

2. Foster will emerge as the go-to guy at TB, rushing for 1,000 yards.

3. Eric Berry will earn freshman AA.

4. UT will lose to Cal and Fla early, setting up a very unstable atmosphere for the remainder of the season.

5. UT runs into a buzzsaw waiting for them in Tuscaloosa. Bama jumps up early, and wins going away, 27-10.

#5 has never happened in his college career. No reason to think it will suddenly happen now.

That is what makes it a "Bold" prediction.

1. An announcer will state that EA is the nephew of Danny.
2. Corso will break a pencil.
3. Lou Holtz will spit while talking.
4. There will be a bunch of bourbon consumed at Neyland before/during games.
5. hatevol will blast posters on this site for being positive and a few others will try to immitate him.
