It’s the time of year known as the “quiet period” so I thought I would write a light hearted article about things I would LIKE to hear and NOT LIKE to hear in the fall. Please feel free to add your own thoughts or you can e-mail me on londonvol55@gmail.com if you want me to comment on anything. So here goes:
LIKE TO HEAR
Guarantano excels at Washington State – Whilst I’m glad he is not the starter anymore for the Vols (he amazingly had 32 starts) I still wish him well. Like Chandler, he gave his best for Tennessee even if they both came up short in my opinion. Good luck chaps
Hyatt beats To`o To`o on a slant – If I was the OC I just couldn’t resist calling this play against Alabama. In fact I would keep calling it until Saban chokes on his cigar.
The opponents defense are looking anxious as they wait for the call to come in from the sideline - I was continuously shocked during the Pruitt era how the defense were always looking for guidance on what cover they should take and this was from a defensive guru. Oh dear, the signs were there, weren’t they.
Jeremy Pruitt, the ex coach of Tennessee – the word “ex” is short but very important in this statement.
Herby Kirkstreet says "Tennessee have started their long slow climb back to relevance" – safe to safe not our biggest supporter but what fun watching him suck on a lemon.
The Vol Networks Bob Kesling saying “Its football time in Tennessee” – I know people have different opinions on Kesling but for me he has given me access to the theater that is gameday at Tennessee. Many thanks Bob.
There one thing I would like more than to hear Georgia have lost and that is Georgia have lost again. – There is absolutely nothing I like about this lot. They get ridiculous recruiting classes for some reason (cough cough) then they fail to fulfill all that potential, the colors are awful, Smart is anything but and even the dog is ugly. I cant wait to sock it to erm, even if its another Hail Mary.
NOT LIKE TO HEAR
Our first play is a lateral – If you look back over the last few seasons the very first play of the season was always a disaster and the lateral was a common 1st play, after 8 months of building myself up during the summer with “this is the season” the disastrous first plays each year burst my balloon every time. A run straight up the gut against Bowling Green for a gain of 5 yards will be fine for me.
It’s a 3 year rebuild - I’m too tired for that phrase. to be rolled out I know its not fair on “The Huep” but the last 3 Head Coaches have more than used up all my patience. I don’t expect an SEC title or a Play Off Place but I want to see progress this season, however small. We really should win 3 cupcake games, Vandy, SC and Pitt so one of Ken, Ole Miss or Mizz would get us to 7 -5 and that would be fine for the 1st year.
Anything at all from NCAA – We are more than capable of handicapping ourselves, we don’t need help from this lot, especially when what we did is no different than most others, apparently.
The Vol Network: What the heck is “Termite protection”?
We are the underdogs when we play Kentucky – This phrase must stop.
To`o To`o, Morris, Crouch and Lawrence doing well – I know I should be more kind but whilst I do not wish any of them harm such as an ACL tear, I find it hard to wish them well. To`o To`o was a Freshman All American mainly due to the play of Daniel Bituli (what an underrated player he was). Morris and Crouch never delivered close to their potential and Lawrence is a complete mystery. At least Guarantano and Chandler gave their all (see above) but these other guys are a part of the reason where we are on and off the pitch, instead of helping correct the mess they have ran off to further their precious careers.
FINALLY WHAT I WANT TO SEE
A sea of 102,465 fans wearing Orange and singing Rocky Top until they lose their voice.
