I think I see what you're alluding to. I have to concur that cupcakes are an illusion.Cupcakes IMO are an allusion. We see the “cupcakes” of the world giving the assumed superior teams all they can handle ever single Saturday. Word of advice- never use this word with a person who is responsible for scheming against teams on Saturdays. You’re likely to get an ear full! I’m pleased BTW with how far this team has come this season!
I predicted 6-6 for the season. I am most likely getting 7-5. I am satisfied with the win total. However......
The team is 1 year ahead of where I thought it would be in terms of changing the culture, getting the most out of the players, and working with what you have. This coaching staff has done a tremendous job in returning the Vols to respectability and moving us up in the SEC East. If the coaches can now hit the recruiting trail hard and flip some of these players in the 2022 class, then I will know we have an outstanding coaching staff on our hands.
Heupels system is perfect for teams that lack depth. Move quick and catch the other guys off guard, and score some points. You always have a chance if you can make it a shootout. I’m interested in seeing once we get the players in, will he change his philosophy and try to have a more balanced approach.I saw the ceiling as 8 wins this year, and sure enough if we win out including a bowl game there we are. Not sure if any other coach in the country would've been able to pull that off with what we have right now.

nailed it.Our losses were to Pitt, UF, Bama, Ole Miss, and UGA. We were underdogs in all of those games, yet Ole Miss was winnable if Hooker is in the game on the last drive, went toe to toe with Bama for 3 qtrs, would have beaten Pitt handily had Hooker started, and scored more on UGA than any team this year. We also beat a ranked KY on the road.
Heupel has done a bang up job in year one. Only truly disappointing game was UF, only because of seeing how bad they are now.
Even Cornbread could put together enough wins ooc and against the other East bottom feeders to have one of college footballs longest winning streaks. Then he was exposed when facing teams with winning records.Mizzou, Vandy, and SC are not quality, they are awful. So six cupcakes, one quality (UK) and maybe a bowl win.
It’s really nuts what happened to UF. They gave bama such a good game and pounded us. Then they decided to suck.Our losses were to Pitt, UF, Bama, Ole Miss, and UGA.
