CLK's "future shock," or "I,am curious orange"

[gcb/hoosiervol]

I realize everyone has an opinon, kind of like rear ends, most folks only care for their own and think everyone else's stinks...however, I am curious as to what you all feel will be the biggest "future shock" or "shocks" for CLK this season. If we are sitting down with CLK January 2010 and he is candid what will he say really surprised him about the SEC and the VOLS.

I have my own thoughts but would like yours..if interested.

The energy of the crowd.

 

[Vercingetorix]

The collective IQ on Vol Calls.

 

[kiffinjr]

what real SEC rivalries and games in general are all about

 

[joeydupree]

His paycheck.

One of the biggest shocks will be when he leads that team through the T for the first time. I really do not think that he has a clue as to how pumped up that stadium will be at that time. To my knowledge he has never had an SEC experience before and if he was in awe over the spring game then he will need to take his heart medications for the real thing. But I am sure that Orgeron and Gran have let him in on a few secrets about Southern football.

 

[TEX_VOLFAN]

How good the defenses are in the SEC.

The collective IQ on Vol Calls.

Ha ha, beat me to it.

Two words:

Ticks and chiggers.

 

[General Jack]

The fan base's reaction after the first time we lose a game we should have won. (Hopefully it will be a while...)

 

[joeydupree]

Doing it all with his Pappy...

 

[orange_blood]

He's already done it by signing a top 10 class in such short time and also signing the #1 recruit in the nation. The one thing I am looking forward to is some 'off the wall' plays, unlike stale fulmer and his old fashion playbook. Something to put a little swagger on the team.

 

[ballou1024]

How tough it is to play on the road in the SEC!

 

[rockytopdevil]

How good it felt to sing "Rocky Top" all night long after beating Florida. Hey, a man can dream can't he? lol

 

[joeydupree]

swagger

Thought this word was banned ?

 

[Mullet Vol]

How could anyone lose more game than they win at a place like Tennessee?

 

[BeecherVol]

Ha ha, beat me to it.

Two words:

Ticks and chiggers.

And southern draw.:hi:

The amount of Gator fans wearing "jorts" on Sept. 19th.

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

its actually drawl, not draw

We all wear jorts. Go with the number of Gators fans with the snuff can circle visible in the back pocket of the jorts.

 

[ETV]

How shallow the gene pool really is in Tuscaloosa.

Sorry, Auburn's got you beat there.

 

[Mr. Two Bits]

Sorry, Auburn's got you beat there.

Good point.

The intensity and importance of SEC and, more specifically, UT football to everyone in the area. How many people live and die with every win and loss. How football permeates the culture.

I live in Los Angeles. A horrible, horrible sports town. USC has been dominant for almost a decade and maybe 5% of the population could give a hoot. Kiffin has no idea what the actual season will bring (from an emotional standpoint). I wish there were a documentary crew filming his experience as a cocksure, already despised, first-year coach in the SEC.

It is going to be fun. I hope he kicks ass.
