Damn, is UF gonna be able to field a team?

We say this every, single, year.

I’ve seen this movie over and over and over again.

It’s Florida. They’ll win 9 to 10 games.

 

[Kingston Vol]

I wouldn't put to much stock in it. He's not around the program enough to see the work and changes they've made in the off-season. They basing the projections off last year

Be careful with this line of thinking.

 

[gunner]

And because I know you all love Simmons so much...

Seems about right unless they can upset someone.

 

[gunner]

I’ll be so sad if we go 6-6

I just don’t see the Vols beating Mizzou, Miss State, or SC. Beating BYU, UAB, Kentucky and Vanderbilt won’t be easy for this team.

Sarcasm?

 

[gunner]

Sarcasm?

Certainly not, did you watch the Orange and White game?

 

[BigOrange15]

Certainly not, did you watch the Orange and White game?

I too base my predictions for the season mostly on a glorified practice.

 

[Mullins2010]

[gunner]

I too base my predictions for the season mostly on a glorified practice.

My predictions are based on what I saw last season and the Orange and White Game did little to change it. Vols struggled on both lines of scrimmage. SEC is a line of scrimmage league. If you can’t consistently block or tackle your opponent then you usually won’t win.

I saw very little in that game to get excited about. Youth and inexperience on both lines with some talent but not enough.

I’m not sure the defense can pressure the passer enough or consistently stop the run.

The offense will need to score 30 or more in every SEC game to give them a chance to win and I’m not sure that’s possible with JG at QB.

As always turnovers can be the difference in winning or losing. Vols will need to be plus 2 every game to have a chance and that’s something they couldn’t consistently do last season either.

If they win 6 games and beat Vanderbilt this will be a successful season, especially, if they can win a bowl game.

Oh yeah, at least the Spring Game is a real scrimmage in full pads.

All we have seen so far this fall is players doing drills for a very limited part of practice. It’s hard to get excited about that.

All y'all effers talking about kidney stones.
Guess who just left the hospital with kidney stones?

You do know that the o-line/d-line has added about five 300 pounders since the O&W game right? Nevermind

Won't he look kind of strange wearing a Steelers helmet with a Raiders uniform?

I've got four lurking in my kidneys that I will donate to the cause

Shouldn't we wait until after the FL game before we let our negative emotions take charge? You're starting way too early.

 

[Pepe]

Is it “true to size”?

The Chinese do have strange sizing in clothes

 

[Pepe]

When I was a kid, my dad told me to never trust a man who tucks his shirt in and doesn’t wear a belt.

They do tend to display butt cleavage

 

[Devo182]

I'm thinking USC is win 7. They'll be so beaten up by their schedule. Miss St is possible #8. Mizzou #9 if all goes right. FL is #10 if Pruitt gets his bald shiny head rubbed by a leprechaun.

 

[Devo182]

Vols will need to be plus 2 every game to have a chance and that’s something they couldn’t consistently do last season either.

Considering no team has accomplished a +2 TO margin/game in the last 10 seasons of FBS football, this is a perfectly reasonable bar to set.
