I think they'll be more fun to watch, at least. But have no clue how that will translate to the win loss column. I've resolved to just try to enjoy the ride this year and wait to decide whether to jump on the hype train or board the fail dozer.
I said 6-6 because, I honesty have no idea what this team will do.
This is where I'm kinda at also. I picked 6-6 but wouldnt be surprised if its anywhere between 9-3 or 3-9 honestly. I can look at talent on paper and coaching history till the end of time but untill they take the field and play a few games it's just a wild a## guess for me.Yep, ditto. For some reason I think they'll drop one or two they really shouldn't, and may sneak up on one or two opponents and surprise them. I have no idea either, though.
3-9 would be pretty hard to swallow, regardless. There are 3 cupcakes on the schedule. Pitt, Vandy and SC should be bad. Mizz, UK, and Ole Miss are just OK. It would be hard for me to maintain any hope if we don't win at least win 5.Well, if we go 3-9, then 3 of those losses better be by only 2-3 points or we got another Butch on our hands.
The last 3 coaches underperformed their talent in the first year. Dooley actually came the closest to using what he had. A few who were against those hires anyway started talking about firing the coach. The vast majority though gave a first year pass.
In all honesty, good coaches are good coaches from the start. They get the potential or even more from the rosters they coach. I understand your emotion. But the truth is it will be a really bad sign if Heupel wins less than 6 games with this roster against this schedule. This is a six to 8 win roster against this schedule. You can argue with me or dismiss this idea but this "either/or" type of prediction was very accurate for the last two guys. Both underperformed their rosters in year one. Both were fired and consistently underperformed their rosters.
And this dude will make excuses until group think tells him to start throwing stones.this dude will for sure complain after Game 1. Book it.

6 seems possible --> ESPN FPI chances
YEP:
vsTennessee Tech 99.1%
vsBowling Green 96.9%
vsSouth Alabama 91.2%
vsVanderbilt 86.6%
vsSouth Carolina 62.4%
So 4-8 it is
MAYBE:
vsPittsburgh 45.1%
@Missouri 38.7%
@ kentucky 37.3%
vsOle Miss 36.8%
NOPE:
vs#5 Georgia 13.8%
@#13 Florida 12.2%
@#1 Alabama 3.5%
I have really not been around Knoxville much lately, but I'm headed in for the full labor day weekend and you just have me exactly what I am looking for in my life.Well put; I'm of the same mind. Regardless, I'm looking forward to getting back to Knoxville for some games again afyer last year's hiatus. Hopefully the liters of beer I lift at Schulzbrau will be in celebration and not the alternative!
