    I See A Five Loss Season As A Failure

    Who said they are rebuilding? They are not. They just had a tough year, but this is what Tennessee football is. Good not great. Same as has been for all but a few seasons of my near 60-year life. Sometimes they suck, occasionally they’re very good, but this is the norm.

    Strength and Conditioning...

    Those guys started chucking around hay bails when they were seven years old. Our guys are waaaay behind!

    Strength and Conditioning...

    When guys are not 100% confident in what they are doing, especially on defense, they tend to look slow and weak. I say this because of the additional "tendency" to react slowly and to take bad pursuit angles (which they are absolutely notorious for going) I am not sure if they knew what to do...

    Playoff Only - End All Other Bowl Games

    Of the 12 teams that played in the playoffs last year, how many of them had a legit good enough team to win it? 3-4? You want to add 3-4 more that don't? I think you are correct about the money it would generate, but with 44 bowl games and 12 play off teams, you have the fans of 94 teams that...

    Playoff Only - End All Other Bowl Games

    This is absolutely true. And, the reason that a lot of the players opt out is that they are getting in the portal with plans to play somewhere else next year. "College" football is a joke as a whole now. Not that it isn't good football, but it is hardly students from two universities...

    This is how I think you realistically fix the CFP and bowl season (making bowls mean something again).

    Live attendance is not a consideration with sports planning these days. The ROI is in the television and marketing.

    This is how I think you realistically fix the CFP and bowl season (making bowls mean something again).

    I'd love it if only because it means more college football, but I don't see the 17-32 getting the support needed to finance it. The logistics of football are nothing like the logistics of basketball. Would enough people really watch the 27 versus the 28th ranked team play just because it was...

    Poll: Vols Football Team Soft?

    It's hard to say. Indecision looks a lot like "soft" on TV.

    I don't get the angst against bowl games.

    In hindsight, last year, I would have preferred a bowl game. I hated how Tennessee lost on the road in mid December and was completely out of the college football discussions for the next month. Yes, you cannot win the championship without being in the playoffs, but quietly fading in the first...

    Hypothetically, if not CJH, then who?

    Since the birth year of next year's freshmen class (2008), Gruden has coached a whopping 53 games at an impressive .415 winning clip. But sure, why not? Maybe their parents will tell them how great he was.

    Ouch. Makes This Season More Disappointing

    I never really understand the rankings anyway. So, I guess it's just more to not understand.

    What common sense college football fans already know.

    I see Heupel as an experienced coach, but not an old veteran coach, with room to get better. I also believe that he has hit his ceiling until he makes some changes in his approach. It seems like right now, there are a few of those "trying the same thing over and over with the expectation of...

    Tennessee Vols never play that hard in a meaningless game.

    If that is true, then I fully support firing CJH, dismantling the program entirely and donating all of the NIL money to reputable charities.
