I've got to complain about wins to want to show I want to win?

I've been doing it all wrong for a while now.

I complain about losses and celebrate wins.

Is there ever a reason to celebrate?

Blame Butch for the losses, blame Butch for the wins, does the guy get credit for anything?

Yeah, being mediocre.

6-6 or 7-5. New qb, new runningback,best receiver gone, best De gone, returning defensive tackles are coming off injuries, best corner is gone and the same duck for a head coach

Didn't say either of those two. Just said it wouldn't do any good.

Instead of assuming what you meant, I asked for clarification. Then I assumed by "it wouldn't do any good" you meant that I still wouldn't get it, either because you couldn't explain it or I just wouldn't get it.

Now, I think I understand that "it wouldn't do any good" means, it would not do any.....good.

Anyway, doesn't really matter now, I was mainly interested in the part about you being accountable.

Bingo. I'll give you a cookie there Behr. You can understand things if you think about them and they are over simplified.

Kudos

That's low down. Sure I've got the milk and who can't put a beer mug in the freezer, but the chocolate chip with black walnut, warm from the oven. That's low down.

Our leading rusher (at the position) is back. That's not really new. 2nd leading receiver (arguably as talent or more than Malone).

The sky is not falling.

9/4 vs GA TECH (Neutral Site)
Tennessee 31 Georgia Tech 28

9/9 vs Indiana State
Tennessee 56 Indy State 10

9/16 @ Florida
Tennessee 21 Florida 20

9/23 vs Umass
Tennessee 42 Umass 14

9/30 vs UGA
Georgia 34 Tennessee 31

10/14 vs South Carolina (Muschamp still owns Butch)
South Carolina 31 Tennessee 27

10/21 @ Alabama
Bama 41 Tennessee 20

10/28 @ Kentucky
Tennessee 35 Kentucky 24

11/4 vs Southern Miss
Tennessee 31 Southern Miss 13

11/11 @ Mizzou
Tennessee 27 Mizzou 20

11/18 vs LSU
Tennessee 24 LSU 20

11/25 vs Vandy
Tennessee 45 Vandy 17

9-3 (5-3 SEC).... I've said it all along, I think we will beat Florida in the Swamp and LSU at home, but think we lose one we shouldn't. In this case, until Butch proves me wrong and can finally beat Muschamp, I could see them stealing one from us again this year, even though we are clearly better on paper.

I'm thinking after the Bama game there is going to be a let down AND the injury issue.

Take into effect Ky is prolly gonna be better and they will probably be ready.

Obviously the outcome could go either way so I understand why you picked the vols but curious about the Georgia being young part? we return Eason our whole backfield, top 2 TE, a few receivers and 10 of the 11 starters on D

Georgia is overhyped! They are the Tennessee from last year.

Georgia didn't get better toward the end of the season last year they played a lot of close games.

Chubbs isnt the same back that he was before he got hurt

Michel isnt durable enough to be a 4 down back.

Eason is a bright spot but you'll have to run the ball well to get him enough time to throw since your OLine is a question mark.

It should be interesting the team who has been picked to win the SECE the past 4 years hasn't won it.

I think Georgia flops but that is JMO. We will see how it plays out, if they do flop Smart's seat will be getting warm going into year 3!

Go Vols!:)

Clearly reading comprehension is not your strong suit, I said it's fine that he picked UT to win but how are we young? An entire defense returns, And returning QB, RB's, TE's and our WR's? We have a young and inexperienced OL

Like almost every year, it will come down to Bama, UF, UGA, and whoever we pull from the west. Vandy and USC last year were flukes against a UT team decimated by injuries.

Why are we always wanting an opinion on Butch? Leave it alone. He's our coach and will be for a long while unless he wants to leave. :thud:

Because that's what fans do. You know that's not gonna happen. Fortunately the AD will ultimately make that decision, not Butch.

Avoid costly injuries, and have better than expected QB play. Those two things will be necessary to achieve the season you predict OP.
