Here's to the end of a season, and a beginning of a new era.

Well, we've seen a lot from the vols this season. We've seen the ups, we've seen the downs. The most impressive thing I've seen this year is the resilliancy of this senior class. A QB who at one time, could do no right. A RB who at one time, simply could not stay healthy. An offensive line that really never was anything but a bunch of walkons and supposed average talent. A defense that simply didn't have the depth and talent to deal with all its injuries, and what did we get from all this? Well, we're playing a game tomorrow, enough said. I hate this time of year, because the season is drawing to a close, and we have to watch a group of seniors leave having never really had much of a chance. But in the midst of all this, it's also a great feeling knowing that they have a chance to leave this program on a high note, with a bowl victory which many thought was impossible at season's start. But as we turn the page, the future seems to look very bright. Top flight talent coming in from all over the USofA, a young, brash, cocky, determined, and willing coach with a plan, to go along with his staff of what many consider to be legends, both at the NFL level, and college level. Tennessee is on the rise, it's very apparent. I give my props to this coaching staff for what they have accomplished so far in taking a team lacking the offensive luster, and a team without much depth, to a winning record and a bowl game. And i give my thanks to this senior class, who really got this ball rolling, and Crompton, Hardesty, and others should always be remembered as where it all started. But now the challenge gets tougher, the vols must continue to grow, add depth and talent, and continue what this senior class has started over the last half of the season. Lets send em out with a bang, GO VOLS!!!

BEAT THE HOKIES!!!

Great outlook. Couldn't agree more. Look for CLK to change gears this offseason and really hammer down on what TN is about. I expect less staged comments and more behind close doors (saban approach). Not to say I don't think he'll keep us laughing/shaking head, but I think he's made some huge ground with the pub, and he's on to the next stage. I can't help but think he's playing chess, each move is to set up the moves to come. It appears that he has his oposition where he wants them.(Example:Urban feeling the need to explain a win) One would expect him to change up his moves. Hope he's ahead of the game again. Countdown to Sept 18.....

Coach Kiffin has already exceeded my expectations. I can only imagine what it will be like when he has talent at every position and on the bench!
