GOOD! Hopefully being the underdog helps us put a complete game together! It'll help that Hurd will likely have a big ole chip on his shoulder with something to prove this game as well. GO VOLS!!!

That's likely where we'll end up in the AP as well. Nice to be in control of our own destiny! Keep winning Vols!!!!

8 hrs, but since we woke up in Los Angeles this morning, that's not too bad! Try to get back home at least every other year for a game. Brought the fam with me and it'll be the first game for my youngest son. Should be one to remember!

Can't wait till the discussions are back to in-game coaching and whether we should've gone for it on 4th down...

It really seems like Coach already puts character pretty high up there in his recruiting priorities, but with the lawsuit and recent Crowder/Johnson news, looks like he's going to have to be extremely careful moving forward so all this can cool down. We need a break from the police reports...

Peyton Manning, Shaun King, and the pursuit of facts in 1996 Tennessee incident - Mile High Report Great article and actual journalism! Too bad this likely won't get as many clicks as King's trash piece...

He sure has a lot of options! I have a feeling he'll start working towards an NFL front office position. I know some folks mention coaching, but I picture him being constantly frustrated in that role. Of course, I'd love for him to be walking our sidelines, but I can't see him signing up...

What's to investigate? As much as I loathe Bama and every #1 class feels like another gut punch, it seems obvious; Coaching, tradition, recent titles and early round NFL draft picks. All the above will just make our upset of them at Neyland this upcoming season that much sweeter!!! If we...

Agreed. I could've totally seen him at Penn State until the right HC position comes along, but under the circumstances (I.e. - a tool for a head coach and likely overall staff turmoil around the corner), the move to UT is far from lateral. Even with my East Tennessean bias, our current D...

*jumped the gun there. I'm still new at this...

I'm not sure why this keeps being brought up. 1989 Yale (GA) 1990 Virginia (GA) 1991–1993 Northeastern (DB) 1994–1996 Yale (DC) 1997 Villanova (DC) 1998 Army (DB) 1999–2002 Boston College (DB) 2003–2005 Columbia 2006 UMass (DB) 2007–2010 William & Mary (DC) 2011–2013 Vanderbilt (DC)...

We might've easily been in the playoffs this year w/ a couple different play calls, a little luck and the ball bouncing our way here and there at important moments. That being said, I think the speed bumps we hit this year, put us in a great position for next year!

True, but would give the boys a ton of pride/momentum heading into the playoffs (and us for the off season!) I guess that's more of a strong desire than a reasonable expectation... On the record, I say reasonable expectations are 9-10 regular season wins and spending most of the season in the...

Gotcha, thanks!

I can tell we are climbing the ladder of expectations, when I can actually ponder the thought below. Imagine beating Bama TWICE in one season! It sure would help the misery of the last 7-8 years. I'd love for it play out like this, first a hard fought, back and forth game that we pull...
