"Might" ....I don't think that word means what you think it means. It doesn't mean will.
He also had an "if" qualifier in there you seemed to have missed.

lol…you think you are schooling me

He said might because it protects him from being wrong…littered with “ifs”…

Of course we can lose…IF we don’t shoot well. Strange hill for a Vol fan to die on

No, I think I am just giving you the facts of the matter. The guy didn't predict we would lose all 6 games. He just didn't.
At best, he suggested via innuendo we'd probably lose a lot more than we had all expected IF we continued to shoot the way we did in the Kentucky game.
You can come in like you're Nostradamus with the aid of hindsight and pretend you were confident we'd win every game we in fact end up winning, but unless you gave an actual prediction on all six of those games before they were played you're just pretending.

Crazy to defend the OP that wanted us to go 0-6.

I'm not defending any of his predictions, becasue he didn't necessarily give any.
I also certainly don't know he "wanted"
us to lose 6 straight games. I really doubt that.

What the guy said was effectively tautological as the first response to his post correctly alluded to.
That I can get behind 100 %. Not because I really care one way or the other ( becasue hey, I didn't say it) but becasue I am an honest interlocutor.

Good job, you finally got it, Einstein.
The guy effectively gave us nothing of value at all in regards. Flame him for that all you want ( as some correctly have)
Just don't be dishonest and pretend he predicted we'd go 0-6 and  YOU predicted we'd go 6-0.
Because he didn't, and you didn't.

Btw, I think one guy did actually predict that ( 6-0) in this thread. He was wrong tho.

Some people need to fess up and admit that they agreed with the OP when he made the post. The Vols looked like they were falling apart, but thankfully they responded like champs. Lets hope they keep it going!

I don't know about agree with all 6 being potential losses, but almsot nobody at that point thought we were going 6-0.
From what I member 3-3/4-2 is what most were saying.
But yeah, I agree with the sentiment behind your post

Honestly, that proposition isn't nearly as scary in the new transfer portal era. UK and Vandy both just showed that it's possible to win with a team full of new players if you're a decent coach.

Note: I'm not saying that Barnes should retire or be fired, but he does need to reevaluate some things.

He needs to bring in an offensive minded assistant and let him run the offense and Barnes the defense.
