The Anger Within Me

My stomach feels sick, and it's only monday. The feeling that I get when I realize, it's Florida week. It's here. Walking out of Neyland last year with a 10-9 loss, and how sick I was on the drive home. The last 10 years. 10 YEARS.

Everything Orange about me. My Blood. My decorated office at home. My Flag that flies in the front yard. My Truck Tag. My Wardrobe - My sunglasses. Hat. Shoes. Jersey. The Magnets on my car, and my Harley. Everything Orange. About Me.

All of that seems to be at stake.

Just the thought of it happening again. Not even considering how the players and coaches will feel. I'm just thinking about the Volunteer families all across the nation: In the Stadium. In their Livingrooms. In the Sportsbars. In the Garages, with the TV going - volume wide open. 10 YEARS

If we win this game, the Fall Colors look brighter. The leaves. The Mountains. Tennessee. The air will smell fresh again.

But if we lose? Again?

Then what?

Gotta play aggressive football with aggressive play calling. Both offensively and defensively and for 4 full quarters. Otherwise, it will be 11 losses in a row against Florida.

This post reminds me of what i used to envision Fulmer doing all week before the Florida game..... Sitting on the toilet drinking Milk-O-Magnesia trying to calm down his IBS and his pucker factor.

I have to agree with everything John Bryce just said on the radio.... This is the biggest game of Butch's career. If we lose then EVERYONE will pretty much start to doubt him.

I disagree. The ones on here seem sold on him dispite the results thus far. I hope it doesn't come down to finding out what their excuses are if we don't walk away with a win.

It's like listening to a battered wife try and say he hits her cause he loves her. At some point you are useless trying to understand.

There's time to change opinions of the doubters tho, and that time is Saturday.

I'm doing exactly that. Thankfully there aren't many great games that day. I plan on being far away from my TV and phone until about 8 p.m. Saturday night. Then I'm just going to check the score and see how we did.

Oh goody!! Sounds like great fun. Why don't you invite some friends over for pizza and beer to help you ignore your TV? :crazy:

No joke right? I work nights and I record the early games to watch when I wake up. Sad part is if it's a big game I'm so amped I'll wake up naturally to check the score and get sucked in.

I remember during the Florida game last year thinking this will be totally worth going to work on 3 hours sleep if we pull this off. We lost and I was just tired and pissed off.
