So if we beat Nebraska like we did Iowa and Northwestern, how is everyone gonna feel?

Won't change how I feel win or lose. I say we go 1-0 8 times, 0-1 4 times. There are enough games that we will have a clear talent advantage to have an 8 win floor. Think coaching installs a ceiling of 8 or 9 wins though.

This recruiting class is way more important to the program than the MCB.

Ranked 9 to unranked. Great. It's so sick to see what Franklin as done with Penn State; death penalty and sanctions to 10-2, conference championship and win over a top 5 team. Here we are with a down SEC, down east especially, our best roster in over a decade, best QB in the SEC and we went 8-4 and are going to the music city bowl

And lost to Vanderbilt...

I think we're going to get Trey Smith. Not sure the rest of the class outside a few are going to be a cause for major excitement. Not sure there is going to be a Byrd or Richmond to get excited about after Trey

Conference Championship Games are a joke...

The conference is going to do everything it can to insure they get a team in the championship playoffs. Playoffs equal millions for the conference.

VT had zero chance with the officiating last night.

This will be a running theme for any championship game until the committee determines the conference champion earns an automatic bid.

There's a conflict of interest when you talk big money. You had better believe the SEC will do its part to make sure Bama is there.

You mean all the non-calls they got this year... I do believe the SEC helped them a bit

Are they STILL mocking that? How stupid.

It will be good to watch Josh Dobbs and Kamara play again for the VOLS. I hope some of the other guys are healthy.

Agree - especially hope Sutton is healthier - I'd like to see him go out strong as well

Everybody has lost to somebody other than Bama and the Boat Rowers.

Michigan better than Penn State but worse than Ohio State, who is worse than Penn State, who is worse than Michigan, who is worse than Iowa, who is worse than Penn State, who is worse than Pitt, who is better than Clemson.

I will feel better for sure. Need to see who the AD is, who the new coaches are, and how we finish in recruiting before I started to truly have some hope again. But honestly, Butch needs to win me back on the field next fall before I'm truly feeling good again.

Yep..that is exactly how I feel.

I'm just saying but didn't Tennessee get blown out by Nebraska Peyton's senior year and then come back the next year and win the natty. Plus tee Martin wore #17 and the next season will be the 2017 season. So the facts say 2017 will be the year of tee for Tennessee .

Ps I may have had a few too many before I posted this but hey jack and coke are my weakness

I like it. (but don't want to get destroyed by Nebraska like we did back then)

I've been saying it for years..big money is ruining college football. It is just going to get worse for anybody not in the Darling club. You have almost no chance at something that is already hard enough to win.

Perceptionwise, Trey Smith is probably his most important recruit ever. Need to snag him for more than one reason.

I agree. Really hope Butch can pull a big surprise heading into signing day. Flip Higgins or Stevens for example, doubt majorly that there is any chance there. But something like that would be great and would give at least some hope for the future if we could get some higher ranked players in this class.

I care more about the AD hire than anything right now. Does it still look good for Blackburn? And I hope Butch gets the team prepared and motivated for this bowl, as disappointing as it is to be in MCB, it would suck more to lose it and have that taste in our mouth the entire offseason.
