Bottom line is if you finish in the top 20 in crutin that's good enough to complete nationaly. Can we coach them up? Maybe. I'm going to hope for the best and be happy when we win. I know my university isn't going to make a change unless they have to so I'm going to learn to live with and be as happy with what we have. (As much as possible)

Same here. We just beat Florida for the first time in forever. Plus we beat Nebraska. Granted it's not one of the great Nebraska teams of the past, but still. The way the season played out is a disappointment, but it's not all soon and gloom like some are trying to make it. Jones may or may not be able to take it any further, but he's the coach for now.

Maybe I got old or something, but sports has moved pretty solidly into the "entertainment" column, I don't live and die by them. I still probably watch 5 or 6 NHL games a week, but the Rangers aren't a legitimate contender so I'm having fun just enjoying the ride

I decided that sports is just entertainment a few years ago, and I've been overall much more happy and relaxed since. Yes I still get pretty animated during the game, but I get over it pretty quickly now.

I get into it, but I don't get literally depressed if we lose.

Their inanely repetitive bashing of CBJ & the state of the football program as well as the misrepresentation and slights of those not lock step with their gloom may not be against the rules. However, I've discovered that making light of their disposition with broad stroke posts isn't copacetic.

I know what you mean, but that extra 7-8 that you include are just major pains in the butt, in my opinion. The ones Im talking about are actually in need of more than just a smack in the face. Lol.

Look at the conversation in the We are better thread.

They're relentless. I've tried seriousness, fighting stupid with stupid, humbleness, sarcasm, agreeing and several other ways I'm not sure how to even describe. That's why my list is 6-7 and not 15-20. I've made some progress with a few.

When I say progress, I just mean I've decided they aren't really as bad as I thought, they're actually "trolling" more than anything.

I will say that I think Butch is probably in over his head, and the cliches are tiresome if not totally absurd.

That said, he's the coach until he's not the coach, and I'm a Vol fan so I wish him the best.

(This is where I have a tantrum about not buying a new UT hat or hoodie this year to really stick it to the AD)

Read through some of that thread earlier. Great to see the Grand Poobah himself bringing the heat.
