I read an article from CFN (College Football News) from earlier this month where they ranked where they thought all FBS teams would end up this year. They admitted the piece was one of those too esrly to be accurate (click bait) predictions but I read it anyway.

They had us finishing at #39 after facing six top 20 teams on our schedule. I think they had WVa at #16. They did say if things fell right for us it was at this point in their opinion possible we could finish in the top 20.

#2 Alabama
#3 Georgia
#6 Auburn
#11 LSU
#13 USCe
#17 FL
#26 MSU
#29 A&M
#39 Tenn
#41 Ark
#47 Mo
#48 Ky
#53 OM
$61 VD

I think that has us 9th best in the SEC.

What say you? Over or under?

Assuming having us over Mizzou, Kentucky, and Vandy means us winning those games, I say it's reasonable. No way this team suffers through another 4-8 or even 5-7 campaign, unless there are truly awful jobbings by the refs this year. We have the talent to go bowling and to do so, beat those three SEC teams and sweep our cupcakes.

~40th in the country kinda sucks considering there are ~65 P5 teams, but there are going to be the impressive G5'ers that no one truly wants a piece of. 15 spots out of the notoriety of the top-25 after the first year should be enough to show promise and get the ball rolling in recruiting.

I'm not a betting man, but if I were then I would bet UT fans would look to burn some Haslam houses if that family tries to ruin UT again.

watching and listening to CJP coach is a thing of beauty. He teaches really well. It's why the players love him.

Very exciting time on The Hill.

Our current coaching staff look like the kind of guys that would walk into a bar and take your girl.

Our previous coaching staff look like the kind of guys that get their girl took at the bar.

Butch would have walked into the bar, alone, used every cheesy pick up line in the book to any girl who would look his way, lead with "what's your sign," and then played foosball in the corner, by himself, drinking virgin cosmopolitans.

He would never have been the guy with the girl.

So as long as the Haslam’s are around, the football team won’t be any good?

How does that make any sense

Because since Dickey left we started prioritizing facilities and comfort instead of winning.

Until our decisions are about winning and not about letting a donor pick the coach we will be stuck unless we just get super lucky.

So since that didn't happen with Pruitt shouldn't that be over?

You missed the part about getting super lucky, which I hope we have... If Pruitt does not work out, we are back to Donors (Haslam mafia) writing checks so they can pick our coach... which hasn't worked.

Sure Bruin, as long as Phil lives forever and we never have to have another head coach, we're golden.

But in the off chance we have a new AD making the hires 1 day, we're looking for something other than Currie 2.0, which is what Bill will do.

I think we're fine as of right now under Fulmer and Pruitt. I'll immediately become concerned whenever Fulmer retires.

You are such a pretty individual. I would give 63 effort to be with an individual such as you that has 5 star heart.

It seems the lame-o Butchisms will live on forever through the fans. SMH.

You guys remember when Butch tried to institute “Rocky Top clap clap clap” after every first down during I think his second spring game. Maybe third. They did a test run and literally everyone in the crowd groaned.

Honestly, I hate the gimmicks and the once a year checker Neyland. I loved it the first time and it was beautiful but it diminishes doing it too frequently. Singing Rocky Top and the V O L S VOLS GO VOLS GO and getting loud in third down and loud every down to disrupt the other team and wearing ORANGE is what I want to do and see. Screw the gimmicks and let’s hear some cracks and hits.
