Reasons to be negative about the 2017 season

We will go 7-5 at best and Butch will get a mulligan. Contrary to the "posivol" opinion I don't believe he is the long term answer. Just because he helped us recover from the Kiffin/Dooley era doesn't magically make him "the guy". I say he doesn't get us past 8-4 again in the regular season and is canned (or takes another job) before the 2020 season.

Losses: GT, Alabama, LSU, a loss to UF or UGA (not both), one we absolutely shouldn't (USCe, Vandy, Mizzu, UK)

How does Josh Dobbs throwing a Hail Mary to Jennings, and GA only blitzing 3 defenders translate to "Butch knows how to beat Georgia"?

They have always plays Georgia well under Butch's tenure. All the way to the pig Howard game we had no business being in that year and almost pulled off the upset.

Just to counter the thread about reasons to be optimistic, what are some reasons to be negative about the 2017 season?

we lose 6 players that we have no one who has come close to being able to replace those 6 players production or anyone that looks like they are capable of replacing that production.

Agree with your particular point. But he's 2-2 vs Georgia, and not 1-3 only because of a miraculous Hail Mary with 4 seconds left. I'm not sure that qualifies for "he knows how to beat Georgia".

Congratulations, you hit all the bases except for " and my girlfriend is a model, in Canada."
:lolabove:How ironic is this? ' Probably the cleverest quip ever to come out of your toothless mouth! Peruse my profile, paying attention to the strikingly gorgeous lady who's in there. Or...figuring that's too complicated a task, just bend your face to your left and take a gander of my avi. Yep. That ex-model/actress isn't my girlfriend. She's my loving wife and has been my wife and best buddy for probably more years than you've been runnin' 'round them hollers in Asheville. 'Not from nor "in" Canada, either. She's from Duchess County NY, is a CIA graduate and stays busy as an highly respected, world-class dressage instructor...far too sophisticated to even address your ilk. Keep showin' your arse,though, boy. But not to me. I hate ugly.:crazy:

PS and once again. You?.......and the cow you're grazin' with?:flush:

That's the best comeback you could come up with? Weak imo

Feel free to PM him if you'd like to continue to read poorly written fantastical diatribes, that I'm sure were composed on the back of an ivory stallion being ridden across the poverty-flecked plains of Bethune SC to the tune of a well known Austin TX cover band, under the watchful eye of CIA satellites.:good!:

CIA, in this instance = Culinary Institute of America, Goober. Don't leave the holler. You'll just embarrass your-toothless-self. You fail to amuse me, so I now ignore you. You'n Catbone can swap sob stories down there in VN's lowly nega-netherland together.

Oh the irony of a vaunted author who doesn't understand the usage of a hyphen in creating compound adjectives. Maybe your writing skills don't suffer as much when you aren't in the throws of expressing a deeply-rooted inferiority complex on a football message board?

:yes: I placed the dufus on the IGNORE list & just caught his dubious comment over your latest comment, KB, so maybe you or one of your fellow nega-butt-buddies of that bona-fide hillbilly might wanna' 'splain to the Bearded vile that it's "throes" and not "throws" and "=" means "equals" as I intended.'No hyphen involved. A few fellow VNers know me and, if needed, they'd vouch for my absolute veracity concerning my fortunes and misfortunes in my life, as well as concerning my marvelous wife, Laura. Such bumpkins can't imagine that other folks actually live quality lives that've been blessed with a few modest achievements; that a very large % of UT alums manage to get around the world and make a few contributions to this great big planet. I don't know. Did either one of you go beyond the 12th grade...or did you maybe at least manage to earn GEDs? Btw KB, RE the miniscule reasonable doubt I figured you could possibly deserve. Well, you don't. No beers for you. Your mention of Dobbs' desperation pass being the only reason UT beat UGA doesn't hold water, since a mere 17 seconds earlier the dawgs received their own miracle via a stupid db's giving up on an open receiver, then much earlier in the game when Jackoff Hurd had the ball batted down inches from crossing the goal line due to his own stupidity. Butch's clock management in that game was astounding, but such details always seem to get clouded over in the fart fog y'all put out whenever you post your pathetic messes. Get a room, boys. You need to experience one another's warmth. Iamnot4UTever has enough fudge-packin butt "burn" for the gooey lot of you. Ask Bearded Vile if he noticed the hyphens. Now. Here it comes: AMIRIGHT?:yes:

Good work. I give up.

Haha, not really. It was a half assed attempt at a quote from Menace II Society. One of those times when something popped in my head, it seemed funny at the time so I posted it. Then wished I hadn't.

*Should I have used a hyphen in " half-assed"?

I couldn't come up with where I had heard it before.

If I had a nickle for everytime I noticed the improper use of a hyphen.

Yep. Need 6 DTs in September. Not sure who the 5 and 6 spots will be. I don't like to ever count on a true freshman in the line.

Only true DT we can count on right now is Vickers imo, and, God bless him, but he's just a solid and dependable, not a stud/difference-maker. There's a ton of questions at DT, DE, LB and corner right now. I know a lot of people are saying "we'll be a lot better on defense this year".....I'm not sure much of anything points to that.

can't be worse than the "all time worst" performances we put on the field last year, can it?:angel:

Can't imagine. But then again, I never thought I'd see again a UT defense so inept that it could be mistaken for something that Sal Sunseri would put together, yet that's what we saw last season. Oh the humanity.

i know.

i'm going to take the ultra positive outlook and say "there's no where to go but up" regarding the defense.

I'm with you. Although I might lean a little cynical.....thinking "we can't possibly be worse, can we?" 🙃
