Also...kind of a poll about uniforms


I have for some time wanted to see an orange helmet with white T, am I alone in this? Not to be worn often mind you...but would be cool to see every once in awhile to go "all orange" or to even be the alternate helmet for the all whites.

My least favorite combinations is orange pants and white jersey...I don't know why I just don't like it, I prefer all orange or white pants.

I would love to see that once a year, but it appears Pruitt is a let's make the uniforms as simple as possible and not spend an ounce of energy thinking about them kind of guy.

I'm watching 1996 Vols vs Alabama and sitting here fired up because I know that this kind of defense is coming again soon. We were animals in this game. Pruitt is bringing that back.

Oh, I loved that game.

We're winning the east.

I like the classic black outline on the numbers, too. Can't do that anymore. UT wants to add a gray outline, but there's a lead time with Nike.

IDT it's all that subliminal that, under Fulmer, UT is connecting to the past.

Curious as to why you can't have a black outline anymore?

 

[SweetasSoda]

Bring these back

I'll take as many of those as we can get.

No way South Carolina finishes 4th

No, we aren't. Few more years.

Heading off the grid to a cabin in North Carolina for a few days, you guys don't kill each other...later rednecks.

Sounds like fun! Enjoy!.

 

[Ron Swanson]

No way South Carolina finishes 4th

Agreed, their schedule is brutal. Vols will likely finish 3rd or 4th this fall ahead of Vandy, UK and SC. If UF or Mizzou stumbles Vols could slide into 3rd.

 

[SweetasSoda]

They probably know Gibbs won’t be eligible this year.

Ahhhh, I was hoping they knew and planned to put him at WR.

 

[Chuckie]

Made this hype video hope you guys enjoy!

I made it 3:30 into the video and then drank a glass of antifreeze...so long gu

 

[SweetasSoda]

Gray outline would look nice IMO

Yes, I think it would highlight the orange more. The black was a little overwhelming.

[tnhunter 10]

actually better than i thought lol.

I thought we would be picked 6th.

 

[SweetasSoda]

i hated the fat single stripe on the pant leg. hated it. and i typically don't get bent about uniforms. but that just didn't look right. that and the skinny helmet stripe.

dual stripe or no stripe on the pants. fat stripe on the helment. the checkerboard accents didn't bother me. smokey greys didn't bother me. but those uni's from the early aughts were terrible.

Oh, why did you have to remind me of that? That is just atrocious design.

 

[mrmax86]

No, we aren't. Few more years.

Do not quote me unless I engage in conversation with you first.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Well, you know KY and Vanderbilt have got to hate that.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Wow

 

[nicksjuzunk]

No huge complaints

3-5 are completely interchangeable

 

[TNrockytop4ever]

Where is this Mizzou hype coming from? They lost their QB. That typically leads to a down year.

Edit: Completely forgot about Kelly Bryant.

I'd be more surprised if Florida and Missouri BOTH are in the top 3.

I think Georgia at 1 makes sense...and I think we can win 4 games and finish 2nd or 3rd.

2 of our SEC road games are against teams who lost a lot and are games we could win (Kentucky & Missouri). @Florida is what it is, I like that it's an early season game and hope it means they haven't "figured it out" on the offensive line yet. But every season Florida is a "believe it when I see it" game for me, just how it is.

USC is going to be hurting...Alabama, @ Missouri, @Georgia, Florida, @ Tennessee, and then finish @ A&M... I put their cap at 3 wins this year in the SEC...

My picks in the East if I was asked based on schedule and returning talent
1. Georgia
2. Missouri (probably the best schedule Ole Miss & Arkansas for west opponents should be 2 wins right there)
3 or 4. Tennessee
3 or 4. Florida (could be 3rd if they beat us and have the tie breaker)
5. South Carolina
6. Vanderbilt
7. Kentucky (lost too much)

I wanted to put Vanderbilt ahead of South Carolina based on schedule...but Mason hasn't shown he can win more than 6 games and they lost a lot

I would sure love to see someone look at the SEC Media Day preseason predictions against actual outcomes. I think it would show you that many folks in the media are more interested in writing glorified personal interest stories than anything resembling an informed analysis.
