Can’t take this poll serious unless it has “pocket presents” and “just win baby” as options.

With the nil era, there shouldn't be much and excuse to have a young team. We should be able to feel needed spots with good veterans

Goody two shoes Mr do right Danny White not giving Heupel enough money to get the QB and other players he needs. That'll be my excuse anyway.

Reading the expectation thread and hearing “rebuilding” year, made me think about all of the excuses over the years. Instead of resurrecting an old thread and, since the football forum is essentially devoid this time of year, out of the choices above, what do you think will be the excuse if CJH doesn’t make it to the playoffs this season?

I’ve found some doozies in old threads. However, if you think of one not listed, feel free to add it.
Perfect storm. We haven't forgotten how to coach

My orange rose colored glasses hopes we will need no excuse. I trust CJH remembers how to score points, hopefully the new DC knows how to keep opponents from doing the same.

As much as DW sucks every dime out of fans that he can, it’s not like he doesn’t have the coin to post up!

Every one of these is an acceptable answer.

“Remember the Pruitt years!” has become Vol Nation’s “Remember the Alamo!” when it comes to price gouging the fans.

The Knoxville judge that ruled against Aguilar.
Seriously, there can’t be any excuses. Not this far along into the “rebuild” Hype started in 2021. Any misfires are on Hype.

Judas Priest man. Day 1 of spring practice and you can’t wait to lose in 9 months and call out “apologists.” You got a psychological issue that needs addressing. Badly.
What a way to go through life lol.

Idk if it’s an excuse. We have a young qb. You’re not winning enough to make playoffs in this conference with that. Past history is BS, every contender is buying a seasoned starter at QB. Failure starts in the portal. I think we did okay but didn’t address the qb position.

Heupel should have been given a sabbatical.

In the 7 days since this post started, Heupel has banked $172,000. Let that sink in. Why would he really care anymore??
