Booger McFarland doesn’t think Tennessee has any chance to win SEC East in 2017


"Don’t count Booger McFarland as a believer in Tennessee next season.

The SEC Network analyst said Thursday on the “Cube Show” with Cole Cubelic in Huntsville, Alabama that Tennessee was one of three teams – along with Missouri and Vanderbilt – that he doesn’t believe has a chance to win the SEC East this upcoming season.

“That leaves Florida, Georgia, Kentucky and South Carolina,” McFarland said.

McFarland’s doubts about Tennessee stem from his belief that the Volunteers have too many impact starters to replace this offseason. Quarterback Josh Dobbs, running back Alvin Kamara, defensive end Derek Barnett and cornerback Cam Sutton are among those gone from last season’s team.

Last season, Tennessee finished a disappointing 9-4 and failed to even reach the SEC championship game after it was widely believed the Vols would compete for a national title."

Sweet, who you guys wanna bash first, booger or haney?

 

[OneVolNation]

McFarland was a great player, has a high football IQ and does a good job in his current professional capacity for the most part, but Tennessee certainly doesn't need his belief or confidence to compete for a championship. We have our own.

 

[McDad]

Believe it or snot, I agree with Booger.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Count this as a win for us. He's been among our biggest fan the last two years to win the East. Him giving us no chance in 2017 means we're probably a lock to win it now.

 

[KBVol]

After being one of our biggest cheerleaders in 2015 and 2016, he's definitely jumped off the Vol Train this year with both feet. He's saying stupid ish like he wouldn't be surprised if someone tells him in December that Kentucky won the East. lol.

Mods: could you please change title to "....Doesn't Think....."? Thanks.

 

[General Jack]

Hard to argue. No reason to believe other than blind faith and that's failed us since 2007.

 

[DocVOLiday]

Highly doubt UK finishes higher than us

If that is the case, man this place (volnation) will be losing it

 

[BaldBiker]

Meh...He may be right, or he may be wrong. We'll find out next season.

I've got no problem with Booger's opinion.


I'll bash Haney.

Believe it or snot, I agree with Booger.

Ha ha, picks...

 

[chargervol]

Believe it or snot, I agree with Booger.

I absolutely do not see us a favorite but I really don't see a favorite.
I would put our chances at slim, but "any" seems a bit much.

 

[Special Ed]

Hard to put any credence into something said by a man named after an accretion of snot.

 

[jerseydevilvol]

The East is a steaming pot of poop, any team could win it. Except Vandy.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Cancel the season, no need to play a game now. We should just practice and weight-train until 2018.

I'm don't know how well our chances stack up to the rest of the east, but I'm certainly glad no one in the media is picking us as the favorite. Does anyone know how many times the media has correctly picked the east champion in the past 16 years? I believe it is only 2 times.

So in review: Someone in sports media says we'll win the East, they are a smart, credible source. Someone says we won't, they are a stupid, non-credible source.

 

[orangeluvr]

Our season will depend on who wins the QB battle and how the winner performs in game situations . Overall, the Vols will be better than expected. The bar is set low.

 

[volfannbama]

The East is a steaming pot of poop, any team could win it. Except Vandy.

And even they can beat us.


Actually, i think mizzu may be the worse team.

 

[jakez4ut]

yawn. this is to be expected, and as of right now, there's no tangible reasons to really debate it.

 

[chargervol]

Sweet, who you guys wanna bash first, booger or haney?

You decide. If I wanted to go on a good group bashing of something, I have a shortlist of candidates to lead us.


Siir?

 

[photovol]

The Vols lost too much in 2016 to be considered in 2017, I wish it was different however:cray:

 

[Behr]

So in review: Someone in sports media says we'll win the East, they are a smart, credible source. Someone says we won't, they are a stupid, non-credible source.

In review of what? Hasn't been an issue in this thread, until now.

 

[chargervol]

Meh...He may be right, or he may be wrong. We'll find out next season.

I've got no problem with Booger's opinion.


I'll bash Haney.

Agree.
Booger is paid to give his opinion and I respect that.
Haney has to get clicks by

1.writing homer fluff.
2. Stirring sh##
3. Hard nosed reporting and balanced articles.

He's really good at 2 of those things.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Booger Picks for 2017-2018.

 

[VolFootballIsLife]

Hard to fault an outsider for not believing in UT. Nothing they've done recently should give anyone the impression they will contend....unless of course you are a fan!

Go Vols!
