Looks like Volnation needs a reminder.

We are 4 points....4 measly, stinking points away from 5-1 and a possible top 15 ranking!!!

Yes I know we have the worst o-line in the history of the universe, but dang, we are so close!!

We really only need a couple more pieces to the puzzle and we are back to a top tier team!!

Good times are coming and sooner rather than later! :)

Flame Away!! :tease2:

OP I totally agree with you. However I expect the Nancy's to come out in full force for this thread.

You know any positive thread about the Vols means you're a sunshine pumper :)

In 2009 we were 10 points away from 10-2, and 20 points away from 11-1. I doubt anyone ever discussed that around the water cooler.

If ifs and buts...

UGA is 4 points from being unbeaten
TCU is 4 points away from being unbeaten
OK is 5 points away from being unbeaten
We are Marshall is undefeated already
And you could go on and on but I am sure in your mind we are the only team a few points away from perfection!

Perfect post OP. Tennessee has been flat out horrible since 2009. We have been blown out over and over again. Now, while heartbreaking, we have lost two very competitive games by a very very slim margin. Our team plays tough and doesn't quit. That is much much more than you could say for Dooley teams. We are now fun to watch.

Butch has these kids playing ball. We still have some deficiencies but we are getting there. We may not beat Ole Miss or Bama but if we stay true to form, they better come ready to play or we very well could win.

We still are on pace to have 6 or 7 wins. That is right where we were expected to be. Our OL will get better. I have no doubt we will be 8-10 wins 2015-2017. This team is finally getting better!

You are welcome. Let's support the kids and the coaches, but not say we are 4 points away from 5-1. C'mon man.

I think Bama, Ole Miss, USCe, KY, MIssou will be a little different than AState, UState and UTC.

Chil, you usually post some enlightened thoughts, but this thread is ridiculous. "A couple of pieces from top tier??"
How about 5 O-lineman for pieces and although I like Worley, he isn't top tier. The defense is solid and probably can hang with most teams. The Kicker is average (did you see LSU/FLA?) and is another piece. Never mind. You are right. We should be ranked in the Top 15.

I hate moral victories...either you win or you lose. Yes, I see a growth in our team, but how many points were we away from going undefeated in 2004, 2005, 2006, etc?? Exactly...I love the thread title, but the "we were only a _____ away" from having a good season is really getting old. Produce wins and championships.

Dam you guys are right! We are not even close and should....I dont know.... start over with another staff? Just end the football program?? Help me out here?? :banghead2:

My point WAS, a little better play from just one of the O tackles and one of the guards, and we very well could be 5-1, and for that I am a retard? ie we are CLOSE!

So a little better o line play, which means just a little more time for Worley, a little more room for Hurd, a little more separation for North, Croom, Pig, Wolf, etc. and we are still 3-3???

You take away only the fumble in the end zone for 7 at GA and we win.... If Malone catches that pass right in his hands on the curl route in the first half of the FL game he walks into the endzone and we win.....

Let's say four or five mistakes from being 5-1.

I'll give you two that weren't even mistakes on our part. If the Georgia punt that was downed on the 1 foot line had gone another foot, we would not have fumbled in the endzone.

If the official had noticed that time had expired on Florida's 49 yard fg, they might have either not tried or missed a 54 yarder. 5-1 was that close.

The fact is we are 3-3 with some tough games left. We have to put an end to our infamy and beat either Ole Miss or Bama. If not, it's another wait til next year kind of year against the BIG 3. We could pull out a win vs Mizzou, but we typically play horrible on the road(USCe)

I always forget that there are people that actually think this way out there...

P.T. Barnham, Jim & Tammy Faye Bakker, and Barack Hussein Obama made careers out of folks like this...

Where is this coming from, the 4 point thing?

Are we referring to a single game?
