Boasting about being 3-0 at this point in our season is like saying "scoreboard" after escaping with a W vs a garbage team. All 3-0 means is we've beaten who we're suppose to beat, nothing more. It's a hollow rally cry for the blind that choose to ignore the reality which is upon us. This team is broken... talent squandered. Our fate was sealed the moment Butch Jones offered the OC position to his old buddy/mentor Debored. It was further cemented when coach Jones failed to fire and replace coach Z for malpractice like treatment of our WR position.

Inb4 this is a fire butch jones post because it's not. It's a reality check for those hanging their hat on 3-0. Wake up people. I promise, your eyes aren't lying to you.

Thanks for the reality check! We only get 6,000 a day on here from you and your ilk. Oh and another telling the coaching staff who should have been fired during the off season haven't seen that one before.

i see similar issues with some of dooleys teams and this team, offensive line woes come to mind, overall motivation from the players, situational playcalling as well. Watching re runs may be a bad idea, blowing out teams like NC st and Butch's Bearcats looked like we were all pro, only to bring us back down to earth once the SEC grind kicked off. Is that not what is happening right now?

I agree with this thread, anyone who is happy about this team is just blind. We have not been holding anything back what you have seen is what you will see come Saturday. We will be lucky to find the endzone more than once.

Let's see how they really play now that a league game is coming up. I'll reserve my judgment until then.

That's where an impression must be made.

It appears the "3-0" crowd aren't big fans of reality checks. Truth hurts but wow, you all aren't taking this well.

The only reality that currently exists is that we are 3-0. How we got to 3-0 is the subject of much debate. And anything projecting the future is pure speculation.

And I've been to the Pearl Harbor memorial. There were more Japanese there than anglos at the time I was there. I was impressed with their respect and behavior. They conducted themselves better than the anglos as a whole. And they would think you're an idiot for your ridiculous comment also.

So if we beat Florida are you going to start a 4-0 thread for the 'sunshine pumpers'? Or should I start one for the 'legion of the miserables'?

Say UF has 4 or 5 turnovers and we win by the skin of our teeth..negatives will say we didn't win they just gave it to us. We will hear we got lucky and ATM will kill us.

Sounds like a plan. Do we force the fumbles or do they just get the butter fingers to match Ole Butter Teeth? If I start using OBT for the gator coach will y'all be able to keep up.

If you look at the results across the nation after the first three weeks, you'll find a BUNCH of teams that haven't beaten the teams they're "supposed to beat." And, several others who did, but just barely. It's the nature of the game.

3-0 is exactly what it says it is. It's perfect.

There are no style points in sports, especially football. In every game, for both teams, there are mental errors, execution failures, questionable coaching decisions and bad breaks.

Every football game has a personality of it's own. It's Gump's chocolates. I'm content to wait and see how it plays out rather than throw in the towel now.

Sometimes I think the Negavols take their path because it's easier. The lower you set expectations, the easier it is to deal with poor outcomes. Plus, it gives them the added benefit of "I told you so," which seems to make a lot of people feel important.

I don't care how they get the "W."

A Florida D-lineman can run a pick back the wrong way, do a style drop in the endzone and give us the winning TD for free for all I care.

In fact, if the team happens to just be "lucky" every time they win, I'm fine with it as long as they get lucky 12 times in the regular season.

OH! OH! I KNOW! I KNOW!
Let's compare the forthcoming game to that campy movie, Excalibur!

Tennessee 45-3. The spirit of 1990. It calls you...

Assumption! I believe most of us will come together and celebrate. Butch has to prove it before alot of us believes in him as U of TN football coach.

We lost several games since CBJ has arrived. Looking back it should have been 6-6, 7-5, 10-2 or 11-1 last season. IMO
