1. Denial
"So they lost at UCLA. It was Crompton's first real start on the road and it was in the Rose Bowl. I'm sure that the offense really isn't that bad, they just aren't comfortable in their roles yet. We'll see great improvement before the Florida game, and we can still win the SEC this year."
"I know that the no name opponents put up more than 40 against UAB, but Crompton looked much better this week. I really think that we can come out of this with some positives to build on. We are 1-1, and I think we're on the way up."
2. Anger
"We're 10 minutes into the Florida game and they are up by 17?! Someone should run out onto the field and hand Fulmer his pink slip now. These coaches couldn't get a High School team up to play a group of Pop Warner kids! I'm going to return my season tickets and spend the rest of the season rooting for a team that has a better chance to win some games...At this point I'd be willing to believe Clemson is better! At least I can keep wearing orange."
3. Bargaining
"If you can hear me lord, please let Fulmer pull his traditional 'time to save my job' run out of his...back pocket. I know that we're playing NIU close right now, but if you can help Stephens develop (since no one on the coaching staff will), I'll quit yelling obscenities at the field and I'll stop telling that FEMA joke about Fulmer. UT surely has some good karma built up that we can use to get out of this funk...right?"
4. Depression
"I just can't get myself excited for the UGA game. I know that I felt bad before this game last year, but this year it just feels completely hopeless. I am now expecting to lose to everybody on the schedule outside the state of Wyoming, and I think even they will give UT a good game. At this point I will be happy if the Bulldogs let our offense get more than a yard rushing. This is the year that Kentucky finally breaks the win streak."
5. Acceptance
"Well, it's still great to be a Tennessee Vol. While we won't win another 2 or 3 games this year, we can still watch Eric Berry break records. I hate to see a young man with his talent trying to buoy a sinking ship, but it's nice to have something to hope for when I flip over to our weekly disappointment. On the bright side, this year should finally end the Fulmer era. Surely he will be ushered out after two debacles in the span of 4 years. For now I guess I'll have to keep myself going on Eric Berry, speculation about the new coach, and the thankfully approaching basketball season. At least there the highly rated prospects actually get coached up to their potential."
