This guy has solid analysis.
Even though hes a Dawg.

But he was pretty high on Joe Aguilar.

I just read practice reports from South Carolina and Georgia. You would think they could beat NFL teams right now based on those reports. Lol

same with OU...every 15 yd completion from Mateer is getting blown out of proportion and perfectly curated by their media team.


i watched him score 10 points against Wyoming about 10 months ago.

So does this mean all the so-called 'expert' predictions are wrong about the Vols being middle of the pack?

I say so.

i think they just are scared of what they dont know


i dont think media outside of Knoxville can name a dozen players on the team lol we know more about our team than they do.

Scared of being wrong. That's why I take most of what is out there with a grain of salt.

I personally put little stock into anything media says until the 1st scrimmage is complete. Routes on air is just timing practice, little else. Nothing of importance is seen by the media. Coaches hold players out over very minor stuff because they don’t want it to turn into major stuff. As camp goes along and the hitting starts, contributing players are held out just to give their bodies a break. After the 1st scrimmage the pecking order becomes clear and coaches are pretty settled on the 2 deep.

Outstanding! If I have time, I may transcribe those and post them as a "pre-season psychological aid station."

Great post, VawlDave!

You do understand any thread with the word “keys” in the title is a sensitive- unrelated topic right now- right?

Age has given me the wisdom to not pay much attention to the pre-season hype or expectations for ANY team, much less our Vols.

Every time I have a good feeling going into a season-bad things happen. Granted, under our current leadership that has not been such a huge issue.

Until I see us line up vs Syracuse, I'm not gonna expect much good or bad. On paper, we are a 8-4 or 9-3 team. We catch a few breaks and who knows. Same goes in the negative sense.

The only valuable info that comes out of camp as a fan is how the guys look physically. Who looks like they've been living in the weight room and who looks like they had one too many twinkies. Other than that camp intel is useless. We won't know anything about the team until the first game.

Agree with this. I used to love SEC media days, now I just ignore it because it’s nothing but a bunch of hype and meaningless coach speak.
