Has any win really been far even as decided to lose even go want to do look more like?

Well, he's not as dumb as he looks then

As far as the final record for the year, I didn’t enjoy a lot of the 90s for worrying about the next game or final season record. I am really trying to enjoy every little moment right now. My worrying is not going to change anything anyway. So right now I am ecstatic that we beat FL and AL in the same season along with how awesome our offense is playing plus having a serious Heisman candidate. What happens the rest of the season is not going to take that away from me. It’s a whole lot more fun this way.

A bunch of coaches think we can beat UGA? Very interesting.

Of course we can beat Georgia. Their defense might be a little better than Bama but their offense isn’t nearly as good as Bama’s with Bryce Young healthy like Tennessee faced. It’s on the road but I’m expecting Tennessee to win that game and go 12-0 in the regular season.

Geez. . .
Any of you wanna split a ticket?

Split? We are gonna need 5 or 6 of us and just have to rotate in about every 10 minutes of game clock.

Picture this. Band is playing pre-game and marches to form the T. But before opening the T, they stop and all lights go out in the stadium. Dark Mode has been activated. The orange lights around the center of the stadium slowly come up to full brightness as the Dark Mode helmet pic comes up on both Jumbos and the spooky Rocky Top starts playing. The team is gathered in the tunnel and as the song ends the orange lights fade back to darkness. All at once the stadium lights come back on and the bands goes full bore into Rocky Top and opens the T and the team runs out.

Sleegro liked my post! If only we could get him to make a few!

I didn’t want to freak out the youngsters. All us really old VFLs start anew every time we hit 100…

So every century ages you up 1 year. You are claiming 60, so by the power of the maths that would make you 6,000?

Yes. It would. Beat UF, beat LSU, beat Bama, beat Pitt. That alone is grounds for a successful season based on pre-season ideas and where we're coming from with the roster we have.

No...it wouldn't at this point. Pre-season expectations were based on what we "thought" this roster could do...now we "know" what it can do.

Barring a vast amount of significant injury in this Kentucky game...1-4 out if this stretch would very horrible.

What happened to him. A vow of silence?

for all the people quoting this and asking about this...

Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like? | Know Your Meme

it's an old meme that people used to post to online debates/arguments

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

So if we were to go 8-4, you'd rather have wins over Mizzou & SC than UF & Bama?. Preseason, 8-4 would be considered a success.

This ain't pre-season. It would be looked at just like 2016...a complete and embarrassing failure. The media and rival staffs would slaughter us, and destroy recruiting just like they did after 2016.

It is the silent danger.

Me, or farts? Or both?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

That's all? lol

They want to fire the same two guys every game...Banks and Martinez. I think they are pretty much the ONLY targets of fan ire on the staff.

 

[jasonvol18]

TBH, Tillman was a Hail Mary after that one kid decommited last minute and went to FSU

Yep! That definitely worked out better for us.

 

[jasonvol18]

Pruitt’s upcoming show cause may not expire before Saban retires.

Agreed..Pruitt won't be on a Div 1 Coaching staff anytime soon.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Arguing it because of how people move the goal posts. Anyone wouldve said "I dont care how we get there, 8-4 would be a success." Now, after we've achieved more than expected, it's no longer a success. Bologna. It would suck to lose any games, but calling it a failure would discount the wins over Pitt, Florida, Alabama, LSU.

No Tennessee fan on the planet would've called 8-4, with wins over Pitt, UF, LSU, and Bama a failure preseason. In fact, I'd bet any fan would've begged for those results.

Like it or not...the team literally moved those goalposts themselves. I was one of the guys constantly trying to temper expactations pre-season, but are wrong on this one. That would now be a horrible failure and yes it would discount those wins to lose to the dregs of the SEC after we have seen what this team can do.

I look at it as a 5 game season now. 2-3 is the absolute worst I think this team should do with this schedule.

 

[LA Vol]

So how many Ole Miss upper deck section individuals were identified?

Unfortunately, not the one that had the golfball. I mean, a UT fan would've thrown an orange one.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

So the wins over Mizzou, SC, Candy, are more valuable than the wins over Bama, LSU, UF, Pitt?

I was fairly certain anyone would take an 8-4 season with wins over LSU, Pitt, Florida, and Bama. We are not losing another game this season, I'm fairly certain. However, if we finished 8-4 I would still be happy with the season for what it is, year 2, and the roster we have. Sure, I'd be disappointed with the finish, but I can't discount the wins. It's all assumptions and if this team somehow goes 8-4, then something terrible (injuries, etc) must've happened to account for it.

Either way, I'm not dying on a hill telling people what they should be happy with. Just stating I think it's. . . odd. . . how people can change expectations so easily.

And I don't see how you can think it "odd" for those expectations to be blown out of the water.

The only way it would make m2 feel differently is we have a great number of injuries to irreplaceable players.

 

[MockingVol]

Little behind on the conversations, but maybe we don’t talk about multiple loss—or any loss— scenarios while sitting in the Top 3 and undefeated at 7-0?

And lest I forget, Vols by fiddy

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

cannot believe they lost to south carolina

Why? They lost to Appy State...at home. No loss should shock you after that one.

You're not silent.
