Lol Underrated post imo. this is really what we are all thinking though for real, whether you admit it or not

Speak for yourself, I’m not thinking this at all.

I’ll be paying attention every single day, as always, to who we’re recruiting, to which grad transfers we may bring in, to when the players report this summer, to Pruitt and our players at SEC Media days, to everyday of Fall camp....and I’ll live and die with the guys all through what is likely to be a fairly rough 2018 season. Why would anybody who’s a Vols fan want to sleep through any of it?

I think we’re about to see the rebuilding of a once great, blue blood program beginning right about now....we only get so much of this program that we’re all so passionate about, and I don’t plan on missing any of it.

Man, they were bending over backwards not to say the wrong thing and get on Pruitt's bad side. Then when he said, "You don't want me to be honest?" they fell over themselves with the "We LOVE it!" response.

I don't get how Pruitt being "so honest" (so honest it's refreshing) equates to not making excuses. His "honest" assessment so far seems to be that we suck. How are we supposed to interpret that as not limiting expectations?

You couldn’t already tell that we sucked by watching last year? Pruitt may as well acknowledge what everyone with eyesight already knows. Failing to acknowledge the current state of the program doesn’t improve the situation.

I think the point is that talk is cheap. Maybe not, but from what I read, it’s kinda like I’m ready for you to prove it and tired of losing. I don’t think any of us are going to ignore the ins and outs.

Not my point at all. He's being given credit for his honesty and for not sugar-coating how bad we are. But his "honesty" could also be interpreted as lowering expectations or preparing a ready-made excuse if he doesn't get results. I just don't see how that is so refreshingly honest. Seems not all that different from things previous coaches have said.

I understand where you’re at, but how could a 4-8 team put 11-12 players on NFL rosters? I’m sure we have holes, but I do believe we have undeveloped talent to work with. I’m going to give CJP every opportunity to succeed, plus he seems to have a great bond with the AD. Go Vols

Cliff notes:

A star lit sky on a pitch black night
A rain drop falls from tremendous heights
A wave crashes off of a cliff in Scotland
A child bites an apple but the core is rotten
TV is free but what is the cost?
We have gps and yet we’re still lost
A carrot in the desert, a camel in the garden
A man with giant ears begging your pardon
What if a garbage man was actually smart
A common misconception that we’re tearing apart
A milk dud sitting in the acid rain
A house cat addicted to the cocaine
No teeth, unlimited floss
These are just a few of my incredible thoughts

Leach would have filled the whole 15-min segment answering the first question.

Without really “answering” it. We’d know a lot more about where to take our fat girlfriends for affordable dates tho.

Do people actually believe this team is going to win 6 or more games this year? 4-8 last year. Expectations are in the cellars cellar.

Love it -- a highly underrated movie, IMO.

What if we win fewer than 4 games? Or if the defense just looks awful? If it looks even worse than last season, despite Pruitt's reputation for being a defensive genius (Bob Shoop, white courtesy phone...).

No matter how bad it is, it can always get worse.

Let's play a game. Phil had "work like heck" and "watch the tape." Butch had...I won't even repeat his stuff.

Besides "aight," what are our thoughts on what his go-to phrases will be?

"But but, you're just setting yourself up for disappointment"


Lulz, I often wonder if some people just can't handle the little disappointments in life that don't really effect their lives..
