Talking heads keep saying 8-4 is Tennessee's win total this year. I just don't see us losing to 4 of these teams even with a shaky QB. Seriously, what 4 teams beat us this year?

We got Georgia, Bama, and the toss ups are Florida, Oklahoma, Kentucky. But I don't see us dropping to OK and Kentucky. Florida and Bama are away games so they may be more difficult.

I've seen some SEC teams with downright horrible QBs win 8-9 games. Heck, our subpar QB play got us to the CFP.

8-4 is possible but I'm thinking 9 wins

Halfway there. Rid materialism and consumerism, then we'll be 100%.


As to the fanbase, how does one kill a moran? A stake? Or just shower them with mayo?

If you wanna be a monk be a monk...I don't. I'm not big on being extreme in those things either...but I like my S×S and other fun little toys.

As long as there are really selfish, narcissistic, completely utterly self-centered decadent people in this world...extreme consumerism and material worship will exist....unless you wanna Karl Marx it out of the world....which I will die fighting against.

What do you mean he's not there? He's made huge plays for us this season

He is a really good overall player, a gritty glue guy which last years team sirely needed..but..he does not have the Drew Gilbert (or any of the other hitter-mashers we've had a lot of the last few years) effect at the PLATE.

I love Ensley...but a massive giant clutch threat at the plate he has not been.

Ensley (with games still to go) is hitting .350 with 10 hr's and 60 rbi's

Drew's swagger and attitude is what helped the team the most. He was a team leader. I like Ensley. Kid is a solid player. Probably as solid as Drew. But he doesn't have the same swagger and leadership that Drew had. Drew could rally the troops. Hunter, not so much. He seems quieter in comparison. But still a heck of a good player, IMO.

Nobody's looking shoot anyone at the drop of a hat. Just yankees that tell ya how stupid you are for not doing stupid yankee things. This woman from New York told me that they were were saying Whitwell all wrong. She said, "It's wit-well." I said wrong answer it's Wut-wool and I sicked my dog on her. They got into it over the fact that she thought he was barking and snarling all wrong.
Better to silent and thought a yankee, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

What's Curleys fielding percentage? Put him in the outfield

Curley has had a rough season, but my guess is he'll either project at 3b or 2b in the majors. Doesn't seem to matter who we've put at SS this season, the position is cursed. Even Ant has made uncharacteristic errors. And no one at the position seems to have much success at the plate. Dean started there and went ice cold at the plate. Now that he's been at 2b he's warming up. Kilen was red hot, but now he's at SS and has been cold since the move. And Ant just struggles at the plate. It's been a strange year to play SS for the Vols.

Bama is at worst a toss-up game now and moving forward. We have beat them 2 of the last 3 games, and our overall team talent level is much better now and continuing to improve.
