Saturday could be the start of it all....

Slow your roll guy... no reason to torch everyone that does not agree with you. We all know what the last 10 or so years has been like around here. A lot of emotions at play, so you might like to consider that aspect.

I see a close game for the most part... if we hang for 3 quarters, then I think we have a shot to win. But... as well we have been getting curb stomped by 26 each loss this year... so, we ain't been hanging around too much...so there's that as well.
I don't mind people not agreeing with me, I enjoy good honest debate and intelligent analysis of our team, no need to bitch and moan all the time. There are 1000s of users on this site, ignoring 30 simple minded NegaVols will do nothing but make my experience better and if all the sunshine pumpers would do the same this would turn into a better board. NegaVols killed gridscape board and it'll do the same to this site eventually.

Dude, half of this thread is posts by you. You are just being an attention whore, like a lot on here. I am an optimist. I think we have a shot at AU, USC, UK, Mizz, and VU. But, it will take a lot of improvement for us to win 6 games this year and probably 8-9 next year. We are far behind Bama and probably won't be competitive with them until 2020. I am also a realist. I will be elated if we can somehow win 6 games this year. But, it isn't probable. I don't see us going to AU and winning after they lost to MSU. They are going to be pissed and come out to prove a point. I do hope we can keep it close and somehow squeeze out a win. I will be there!!!

That's a solid view, one hard to argue with and nothing really NegaVols except for accusing me of something and being far off base. Why do that? It's not needed and by referring to me as a whore is the whole point? 1 it's not true and 2 it's simple minded To each his own I guess. It'll be a great game to see live, especially if we pull off the upset!

It only took OP 5 weeks to learn all of the negavols on VN and take them to task for their poor fandom. Impressive, unless you've been here before?
I've been here since the start off and on, just always posted on the old Gridscape boards. Quit posting anywhere when the NegaVols foolishly ran CPF out of town. They were a loud minority back then that had a say in the biggest collapse in program history. The NegaVols were bad for our program then just as they are now. They were wrong then just as they are today. We may suck today but this staff, these players and this AD are the right stuff, it's easy to see so why be a NegaVol for a couple of years? Why can't the sunshine pumpers rule the mob for a bit? Lets try it and see, what have you got to lose?

STOP JUST STOP
Whoa I take a nap and y’all get all up in your wadded panties over sumpin.
Wish I was still allowed to pole all of us. That seemed to make a lot of you smile.
Butt since I can no longer do that (I understand somebody powerful got tired of it), I will just say this:
We are All Vols here (other than a few privileged guests). And being a Vol means something.
Try to remember that when things gets too heated.
Orange on Orange violence makes Smokey and the Angels weep.

I hope we win big Saturday..

I also hope I hit the lottery Wednesday..

People in hell want a drink of water

None of the above are likely to happen though even if all the pumpers work OT.


Just saying


One think is for sure you are not a pumper. I know i know your a realist...

It's possible that our turnaround begins this Saturday, who knows right? I think it's vital that for that turnaround to happen, the sunshine pumpers need to outweigh all of the negative Nancy posters that continue to do nothing but moan and groan and bitch about every little move our program makes. The mob rules these days and we've let them rule this program in the ground. Every single Vol fan here knows that our downturn began when all the negative nancies ran Fulmer out of town. We've had this argument for years now and it's time to stop! We've got a good coach, a good staff and a good AD, something we all thought might never happen again with the haslam's at the helm. It's time to get on board or get gone! Time for the good to become the Vol Mob! Stop replying to these clowns, start blocking them the 2nd time you see one of their 12 year old views. Let the ugly go be with the ugly, let the guys and gals that root for the Vols with that ray of hope for victory every Saturday be the fans you associate with! I'm hoping that about 20 of the negative nancies block me immediately, sooner or later I'll never have to see em again. As for the Vols I think we've got a good chance vs Auburn. Saturday was a physical game that resulted in a beatdown for them. They are tired, beat up, looking at us as a pushover and thinking of nothing but having the next weekend off! Vols are an afterthought to Auburn and those 11:00 games at home are brutal! The orange sunshine pumpers think we get it done!! 28-20 Vols
P.S. NegaVols feel free to reply with your usual negative views, that will help me get my list to where it needs to be!
We all have that hope and you have to believe in your coaching staff and players until they give you enough reasons not to believe. Defense is certainly better hopefully the offense can catch up and be a factor in the coming games.

well, this Saturday sounds like a good time for an upset...the teams will be dressed up and ready to play anyway and I'll be watching too, so, why not...;)

We haven’t been champs of the state of Tennessee in a while much less Alabama. You’re a example of why opposing fan bases make fun of us.
What other fan bases think of us is literally the least important thought ever. Who cares? We're Vols and we don't give a *&%$ what anyone else thinks. I'm on the CJP bus for as long as it lasts!

Anyone who doesn't agree is a Negavol...LOL

We are not good. Deal with it. Hopefully we get better.

We will get destroyed the next two weeks.

In a post a few weeks ago, i said that eventually we will bottom out and things will improve. That rise back to relevance will be exciting. I really HOPE that starts Saturday. But it is more likely we are fielding a team that isn't competitive.
Do we have a good Head Coach, staff, and AD? Only time will tell.

Better begin to sit back and watch the games for their entertainment value and stop the hype. UT is no longer a football school. The administration has decided its not and it will remain so until they change their minds. They don't care who wins this upcoming game.

I agree with the OP to this extent: fans too often search for a reason to be negative. This was true even in the 90s when TN was really, really good. Sometimes we don't realize how well we have it until it's gone. Right now, however, and for at least the previous decade , Vols fans haven't had to search too hard for reasons to be negative. I have confidence that given time CJP will turn this ship around and TN will be competitive again. But it is going to take awhile. I will continue to support the team, but I am not going to become some pollyanna and refuse to see the problems in this program.

I think our turnaround started when it was decided to let Butch go. Just not a sprinter start, more like a marathoner.

I don't necessarily see it either, but I do see how it can happen! It's sports and anything is possible, we've just let all these nancies trick us into believing it's impossible! The Vols once whipped Bo Jackson and the war eagles, no reason it can't or won't happen again!
Maybe if Bo Jackson and his team (as they would take the field today) were playing, we might have a chance. But ever so small I fear.
