How do Y'all Think The Sports Media Will React If Tennessee Wins 7-8 Games?

[Concept]

If seeing more avatars of that team is "winning" then don't make the bet.

Yeah, I changed my post. I am not looking to irritate anyone. Well, maybe sports-wise, but, not politically!

ESPN doesn't even know we still have a program

Why do we care anymore about ESPN?

 

[Coach Punk]

I picked all four. And that is what I think will happen.

 

[chvolman]

I think it will be Pruitt learned everything from Nick Saban. Look at Kirby Smart at Georgia he also learned everything from Nick Saban. Lane Kiffin learned everything from Nick Saban...Probably give a few props to Pruitt but will turn in to Saban love fest.

Absolutely. Loser sports a Bama avatar for the whole offseason.

Too much risk involved in losing a bet like that. I couldn’t handle that avatar, namely a farm animal being mounted by a guy wearing a houndstooth hat. But to each his own.

What do y'all think the Sports Media will say when Tennessee wins 7-8 games? I think the Sports Media will go on and on about how the SEC East is weak and that's how Tennessee improved so quickly.

 

[allenrikvik]

Big impact will be 8 games. That would be a heroic effort for the season and requires that UT wins two close/even games - my optimistic projection. 7 winning games seems to be viable by a single toss-up game

Not for me.

Yeah the Sports Media will go berserk because it will blow their whole narrative out of the water

 

[GetEmVols]

Not sure but Aaron Murray will be saying “my pleasure” at chick fil a.

 

[SoddyAllVol]

It wasn't a choice, but I would have selected "Benefited from the groundwork recruiting by Butch".

(I self-ediitted. Shouldn't have entered the political realm here.)

Shouldn’t have edited out the truth

 

[T-TownVol]

I’m solid at 8, but you said a winning season of at least 7 so I’m on board. You’re definitely gonna be worried after we start out 4-0.

@checkerboards09 I will give you a chance to back out........but ONLY ONE chance.

Not happening lol. There’s still 11 games left.

Name the 7 we win please.

 

[McDad]

I'm going to say that UT enters the season health and with more raw talent than 7 of their opponents when considered across the roster... so yeah, if Pruitt gets only out of the team what the talent says it should yield... they win more than 5. The only way you can say 5 is if you think Pruitt is as bad as Jones.

This may be a tough thing to swallow. Hope not.

I love the way people anoint a man that has never been a head coach. We will get there, but not with the linemen and lack of speed we have right now.

 

[T-TownVol]

Now I know a Bama avatar is gonna be embarrassing, but don’t disappear for the offseason lol.

[T-TownVol]

I don't gamble but if I did I'd take your money.

@sjt18
Umm......

@checkerboards09

You had it pegged before the year started. Most media did too. Only our fans with the orange tinted glasses didn't see it. It will be the same thing next year. Expect 8,9, 10 wins. May end up making a bowl game..

No coach in the world could have won 7 with our roster.

I agree. I was about to tune out completely this year til they surprised Auburn. I took a renew interest after that game. Got my hopes up , but i continued to see what you saw. Butch Jones is stealing money from UT. Thing is those clowns deserve it.

 

[T-TownVol]

I agree on the avi.

I'm thinking 6 is the number, but I would definitely be okay with this bet. I think 7 is very possible.

@Behr
Damn, should have bet you also.
So many on here bashing me for knowing that our roster was as bad as it is.
Oh well.
