[Hurley Mooncalf]

Unfortunately, it's not surprising that our record reflects these numbers.

 

[Behr]

But but JG sucks.

 

[volgrad500]

I'm a little surprised Taylor didn't make the 1st or second teams.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Does this mean we are not winning ten games?

 

[TennMan101]

Vandy has 2 First Team all-sec players? Lol wow!

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

I'm a little surprised Taylor didn't make the 1st or second teams.

So am I

 

[TennMan101]

I'm a little surprised Taylor didn't make the 1st or second teams.

Some people in the media have DT as a top 5 OLB in the draft this coming year. Yet he's a 3rd string all sec backer? Time will tell.

It will happen if he becomes more consistent. Up until now he has shown potential in spurts and then gone quiet.

Pre-season lists are irrelevant. Win, and you'll have players getting individual accolades as well.

The '85 team wasn't loaded up with a lot of premature hype so you never know.

 

[FLVOL_79]

But but JG sucks.

Athlon Sports confirmation?

 

[USMC-TNVOL]

Athlon Sports confirmation?

If there were a 5th team, I'm sure he would have made it.

 

[Behr]

Athlon Sports confirmation?

All their info is 98.9% accurate, except for the information on TENNESSEE. That's how it always is.

 

[FLVOL_79]

The '85 team wasn't loaded up with a lot of premature hype so you never know.

But the 84 Vols were 7-4..not 5-7.

And they beat Alabama...and Vandy...

Are their choices based on unscientific analytics that eschew the tangible but opt for the intangible to appeal to emotion?

 

[FLVOL_79]

I look forward to the day when Tennessee is repping that 1st and 2nd team bigly big time. Soon...right?

50% of the time, No.

 

[EZE]

But but JG sucks.

I didn’t see his name on the list.

 

[USMC-TNVOL]

It will happen if he becomes more consistent. Up until now he has shown potential in spurts and then gone quiet.

One of his better games was against GA last year where there was that ridiculous fumble recovery TD.

 

[Behr]

I didn’t see his name on the list.

You didn't see about 79 others on there either.

 

[Vol49er]

Surprising DT and Bryce Thompson aren’t higher. Also think Jaquan Jennings is going to be our WR1 over Marquez, provided he’s healthy

 

[FLVOL_79]

I didn’t see his name on the list.

Participation trophy stats usually don't get too much recognition outside of a circle of homers.
