My gawd man, you do know that Tennessee has won the last two of three right? You are living in the past. The "we cannot beat Florida" is now onto Georgia. The swamp won't be a problem by the time these teams play. Florida is headed for another 6 or 7 loses before then with the they way they are playing.

Those two games…how many were at the swamp?

As pointed out, none of our remaining SEC games are locked in wins. Every one will be in doubt, with the outcome very likely to be dependent upon the health of our starters on both sides of the ball. At this point, I’m even worried about the VANDY game..🙄.

Do I want any of this to happen? No! I want to be gloriously, spectacularly, unremittingly wrong about it, you don't know how badly I want to be wrong!

So, which one(s) of the following do you think TN's D can stop?

AL on the road
FL on the road
OK at home

Because, in order to not go 8-4 TN's gonna have to beat one of those. OK seems to be the best shot since it's at home but their QB is having a day (282-1-1, 51 yd rush TD)

That's 8-4


And if they lose one they shouldn't, as they frequently do? (see AR last year)

That's 7-5

What's inaccurate about the above?

Certainly Florida on the road and I believe OU here as well. We will beat both those teams this year. Not sure on Bama.

Bama is beatable, but I think we are likely to drop one of the three and that one will be the toughest by far.

OU is good, but they aren't great. Auburn exposed some serious weaknesses yesterday.

There are a lot of posters on here that don’t have a very high football IQ. GBO! First half stats- Tennessee 266 yards. 163 rushing yards. UAB 56 total yards with 4 yards rushing and a whopping 52 passing. Note to novices Tennessee emptied the bench in the second half. Please try to comprehend. These are factual stats! GBO!!!!!

I hate to say it but losing three more games and a trip to the gator bowl with this atrocious defense. Banks defenses haven’t stopped a good team since he’s been here smdh

I can definitely see 2 more losses against Ala and Fla. We haven't won in Tuscalooser or Gainesville since 2003. Just like GA, until we prove we can win those I'll be worried about losing those games. Hopefully we are healthy in the secondary and DLine by time the Ala,Fla and OU games are played. I already know many of our fans will have unwarranted confidence and saying we will boat race both, even though it's been 22 years since either had been done. Many years we had the better team than Fla, only to get our ass beat. Hoping both streaks end this year!

You do know both were in Knox and it's been since 2003 since we won there? Not sure how ANY fan could be overconfident with 10 straight losses in the Swamp and in Tuscalooser. But, I know unrealistic overconfidence is what our fanbase excels at.

Has it occurred to anyone that maybe we are taking a play out of the Kirby playbook? Play conservative to inferior competition and give our stronger foes a sense that we are not that good! Then when we play them they have a false sense of security and don’t expect us to be a good team! I studied at the war college in the military and in Sun Tzu’s art of war you never reveal your strengths to your enemy until it’s too late! Just a thought? I believe we are still a good team and will win most of our remaining games but hell in order to be a long time Vil fan you have to be an eternal optimist LOL

No, not really. You really are crazy doing that with a vulnerable defense.

Bama is definitely beatable lol

They’re beatable but I’m not ready to say we will win that one. I want to see how they do this coming weekend and then the 2 after. If they go 2-1, likely a toss up. 3-0, they should probably beat us, worse than 2-1 and we should probably beat them. Of course, that’s a very simple way of looking at it but I’d expect them to lose to UGA in the road and then beat Vandy at home and Mizzou on the road.
