Wow!!! Great post. I graduated from HS in 89 in Memphis. I have been a true Vol fan for over 20 years. Being a teenager and going straight into the Army, that year, as far as football is a little fuzzy. I love hearing such superior insight from seasoned volunteer vets. I have mentioned many times before, on many sites about this feeling I have about this upcoming season. I have been on ESPN radio in South Carolina(where I live now) talking about the Vols and how this season will be special. I believe our record this season at minimum will be 8-4 (due to the schedule and our talent level), the best is hard to say: 10-2, 11-1, 12-0 are all very possible if the Defense clicks and the offense plays at its full capability. I have settled on 9-3/10-2 with great optimism. Many people in this area are drinking the Spurrier kool-aid and give me flack. I told them their success will be short lived, we have a tremendous history of winning, and are on the brink of another rise to glory. I believe we will go "Between the hedges", 4-0 and have a great season of recruiting because of the success of this year. Our toughest games will be NC State, being our game of the year, Florida(mental), Alabama, USC and Mizzo. Get ready Volnation, a new era of greatness is upon us. Go Vols!!!
