First I’ve seen it. Can’t say enough how media twists things and people who take heresay as truth without researching first fuel the rumor mills. He spent more time complimenting university, community, and Fulmer than anything related to UCLA. Unreal the negative reactions one misinterpreted quote brought. But PLEASE don’t take my word for it. WATCH. Thanks for posting.

It's really sick, ain't it, how some of our fans are so quick to believe the worst. It's bad enough that they're so negative, then they'll run with the flimsiest of rumors, ignoring anything that would refute those rumors. I get why the media does what they do; I don't get why our fans do their part.

I'm so proud to have Rick Barnes as our coach and Phil Fulmer as our AD.

Steel doesn’t sound tasty. At least instant has raisins, cinnamon...shizz like that.

Get the Bobs Red Mill Steel Cut, cook for 20 minutes (or get Scottish cut and cook for 10 minutes) and add decamara sugar or honey and believe me it’s plenty tasty and much better for you. Also can add fruit. There are healthier combination but that’s the tastiest.

It’s the off season, I’ve got to discuss something!!

Do what? I'm wondering what it's based off of if they've got us at 15? We didn't do anything last year records-wise and although I think we'll be better this year, I'm still in the 'just hoping to make a bowl' camp.

I believe it’s roster/recruiting rankings and what your “talent” says you should be

I think it is based on returning starters, respect of the staffs development abilities and the improvement we showed before running out of gas due to depth the last 2 games. Doesn't seem that outlandish to me and I'm a known negavol.

Also the perceived staff upgrades we made.

I mean the Auburn and UK upsets were notable for a team that basically had no OL but we're still on shaky ground with both lines. It just seems way too high of an expectation for a team that's coming off two very bad seasons (albeit last season was world's better than Butch's last season just in the way they played). Our offense has been at the very bottom of all of CFB for two seasons now. Our defense was serviceable last season and if it's at least as good or only takes a few steps back we should be ok there (note* I think our secondary will be elite but I'm not sure about our LBs and DL) but our offense has to take a major leap for us to be a decent team, especially one in the top 15.

You are great at picking teams. That sums up Tennessee football for the past ten years. Replace signing guys past their prime with signing a few elite recruits that mostly wind up busts and that’s been us, sad as it is.

Been a Reds fan my entire life. I’m 46. Much like Tennessee it hasn’t always been bad. The only baseball my dad could get on radio in Vietnam was Cincinnati. He would take me to games as a little kid. I got my picture made with Pete Rose when I was 5.

I get all that but I don't think their reasoning is that far fetched. We should also have a huge upgrade in offensive playcalling and Pruitt should have a better grasp and more time to be a head coach without having to call the d. 15 may be a reach but it's not as crazy as it sounds imo. We'll see though. I'm pretty excited for the season.
