So we are on the eve of the first scrimmage for the football team which of course means we will completely overreact to good and bad performances.

Let's hear your predictions for top performers, stat lines and of course... overreactions after the game is over. :hi:

In all honesty, Bray is an excellent quarterback, I expect him to put up big numbers in the scrimmage.

I fully expect someone to say the the starting qb needs to pulled in favor of the backup qb

Neal or Williams will get about 85 and a score. People will be predicting Poole to become 2nd string kickers' equipment manager.

I fully expect someone to say that Worley needs to start over Bray and Simms both if they perform poorly.

I would not be surprised if all 7 of these actually happen:


When Da'rick drops a pass: "I knew he'd be a bust!"

When Bray throws a TD pass: "Best UT qb since Manning?" "Better than Manning?" "Heisman?"

When the offense and running game look sluggish: "Chaney's never going to be a good enough playcaller to get us back to the top!"

When Malik gets his first tackle: "Outland trophy winner right there!" "First round pick next April!"

When a receiver anywhere near Gordon catches a pass: "He's not athletic enough to play at this level. Coleman will pass him by June."

When the first guy goes down with even a twisted ankle: "We're so f***ing cursed!!! Why does this always happen to us?!?! What did we do to anger the Gods!?!?!"

When Dooley has a witty comment in the interviews after the scrimmage: "Man, I'm so glad he's our coach!"

This is pretty much all year long ... the only thing I hope that goes missing from the last couple years is the convictions of theft, drug paraphernalia, and assault and battery ... without that and hoping the players have the IQ to be able to actually play I say everything should go smoothly.

No, you blame the twisted ankle on the strength and conditioning coach.

You also forgot the rants about depth and the this is why you don't have your best athletes taking risks paranoia.

I agree with this gent. Still a racist post though.

1. If Bray completes too many passes, our defense is doomed... until we get Loften, Martin, Randolph & Orta on campus. They will all naturally start and meet everyone across the middle. Bray also is better than everyone not named Andrew Luck... and especially Aaron Murray.

2. If Bray does not complete enough passes, we have the best secondary in the conference... probably of all time actually. Simms will declare "this is why I should be the starter." as he completes 1 more pass than Bray for 25 less yards. Fans will argue that the Worley era has begun.

3. Some player who we have probably never heard of will have more receiving yards than Justin Hunter... and will still probably never play in a game at UT.

4. Coach Fulmer and Lane Kiffin will be blamed for something that happens.

5. We will either win the East this year, or be last... there is no in-between.

My prediction:

1. Passing.
2. Dropped passes.
3. Tackles.
4. Missed tackles.
5. Missed assignments.
7. Arm chair Coaches bragging how they could do better than Real Coaches.

See if I'm not spot on in my prediction. GoVols!

If Poole gets tackled after 25+ yard run it's cause he has no wheels. If he gets 9 yards on 2nd down he's in BEAST mode. Moaning about Lane not being 100% for either of the above.
