Typical VolNation waste of time threads. On the one hand you have lily livered cowards upset because an out of conference opponent might be competitive.Then you have this knucklehead predicting we pull a championship run outta nowhere,

And that leaves the rest of us debating which is worse.

Very true.

Most don't realize that's like dropping $2 on a long-shot at the horse track. That doesn't mean you're predicting that horse to win, per se... but "hoping" it wins for a huge payday.

Haha, OP, I know Tucker is a hugely unusual last name (said firmly tongue-in-cheek), but that doesn't mean everyone named Tucker is Mel. This Tucker, the Tucker in this article, is named Guy. Says so right there in the click-bait article (which I'm mad at you for convincing me to click on, giving John Adams a few more ad-pennies).

:) :)

Feels a lot like 2018 politics.

Anytime I hear the name Tucker I think of the HC a Milan HS. He sent a few players to The Hill.

I've got NC Plane he built back in the day.

Go Vols!

I hope I wish I would have made that bet for $1000.

Go Vols!

Debating whether we win a national championship in 2018, is good for the soul.:):thud::lolabove:

It's not actually a bad bet. He bet $110 and wins $55,000 if the Vols win the national title.

I don't think we'll win the national title (or even finish above 9-3 next season), but if you were looking for a good bet on a darkhorse national championship contender that paid out an absurdly high amount in the event that it hit, the Vols aren't the worst pick.

Exactly, DG.

I think one healthy way to look at his bet is this: are you willing to give up $110 for the fun, the sheer joy, that comes with a pot of gold sitting out there under the entirely-unreasonable chance that the unfahtomable might actually happen?

Sure, you've almost certainly lost a hundred and ten Washingtons (or eleven Hamiltons, or twenty-two Lincolns). But you get to smile at least 110 times, each time you get to imagining what if.

Might be a worthwhile trade-off to some people. :)

Why is it bad for the brain? Should be refreshing, to be talking about it at least.:)

Its bad because almost every Vol fan knows its completely absurd. If we were even remotely close to being a championship level program who has been winning at a high rate for years, then it would be a healthy debate.

Even mentioning UT and national championship in the same sentence for 2018 is laughable.
