Not all gloom and doom, but what I am personally expecting.

 

[TennTradition]

7 or 8 wins...sounds about right to me.

a chance

 

[BeecherVol]

3 less fumbles last year, and we are 8-4.

9 wins would not surprise me.

 

[mitzustu]

do you think there is a CHANCE we finish behind vandy and kentucky both?

Some of it.

Don't see UK and Vandy finishing ahead of us.

 

[VolBeef88]

I think a 7 to 8 win season would be about right. If we find a way to win more it will be gravy...

I would call it an ignorant assesment

 

[memtownvol]

Vandy gave us a scare

Vandy gave a few teams a scare last season

 

[mitzustu]

Vandy gave us a scare

how many times have they had a lead on us and lost it.... several... i'm just saying there is no way we finish behind USCe, Vandy, and UK.... i mean USCe is not in a good position either with any offense at all we finish in front of all 3

USCe is about to crumble. When Spurrier leaves.

 

[GATechVOL]

There is NO WAY that the Vols land at the bottom of the east... NO WAY.

Ehhh....Let's hope not or we will be looking for another coach and no staff will ever compare to this one.

 

[AlexioVol21]

I'd be happy with a 7-8 win season. I think we still beat out Vandy and UK, no way we land below them. Might I also point out that to go along with the gloomy talk from the writers, under the picture on the left they misspell Lane and call him Lan Kiffin. (No respect at all.)

 

[ctvolfan2007]

I really do like our chances to win 8 and possibly 9 games. As it has been said we were just a few bonehead plays away last year from being in a bowl game and having a decent record. With the new coaching staff and improved focus and determination I see this team making many people open their eyes again about Tennessee football.
