I think this is the first time in a long time that I truly believe we have a legit shot to win the SECT this year. It's hilarious that they had us finishing 13th.

I believe I said that I'd bet my real life, human house that we wouldn't finish 13th in the SEC when thoae predictions came out. Bet still stands.

So I guess Pearl is going to survive at Auburn? I haven't heard a peep about anything ever since it was reported that he needed to work with them or he might be out. Did he start working with them, or was Auburn bluffing?

I for one am loving it. I’ve been told to “GTFO” so many times by them.

Same here; amazing how snowflake they turned. A great many of them acted like d-bags to anyone who didn't drink the kool-aid, especially the ones that acted like you were stupid if you couldn't plainly see Gruden was coming.

And now they are doing everything from trying to act like they don't deserve a hefty amount of "told you so" to actually bashing Gruden for not saying he wasn't taking the job. As if it's his fault they decided to run with a fantasy and turned tinfoil hat bat crap crazy with their theories. Not to mention I lost count how many times Saban saying he wasn't going to Bama was brought up.

They can't just admit they were 100% dead wrong and fell for it again.

I know it does appear that way. I go back to the Bulwinkle days. An outstanding shooter named Justice, Dale Ellis, and yes Bernie and Ernie show. I did hang in there with Pearl. Even when Allen's dad coach so miserably. After that just got tired of the failed coaches that we kept rolled out. Just didn't think UT BB was ever coming back. But its great to see once again. I will try to earn my way back in the BB's graces. :yes:

Admittedly, I was on the Gruden train before Butch was fired, hopped off about a month after because it seemed to be just like 2012, hopped back on because I had a sliver of hope in info Beaver was bringing, officially jumped ship when Schiano popped up.

It was a roller coaster for sure and I was on both sides of it. Anytime I suggested he wasn’t coming I was bombarded with STFU AND GTFO, there was/is one poster in particular that calls me out any chance he gets.

Some guys just can’t let it go. A lot of them deserve to be blasted with “I told you so’s,” but I’m not going to do it. They already look pathetic enough, I don’t need to remind them.

Tom Boerwinkle BTW is a former Vol (is VFL correct after they're dead?) that TN fans thinking basketball began with Bruce Pearl should read up on. Ray Mears, Boerwinkle, Stu Aberdeen, Danny Shultz, and Fulton's Ron Widby and Bill Justus really got the ball rolling. TN's best era was actually in the 1940s, but it was kind of quiet for a while. The 1960s Vols broke the Rupp/Kentucky monopoly.

Boerwinkle wasn't a higher profile former Vol because he was a broadcaster for the Bulls after he retired as a player.

I never saw him play, but you couldn't miss him in the concourse at the TBA. He was every bit of 7 feet.

I hope that I've spelled Shultz and Aberdeen correctly.

The Cade Mays thread on the recruiting forum is hilarious. Bunch of grown dudes uptight about an 18 year old. If Cade doesn’t pick the Vols (I don’t think he’s going to) that thread is gonna be pure gold

Another slaughter.

Did this without Terry. He may have injured the stress fracture from last year. That's really bad news if so. Also Kam Calhoun sprained his shoulder. My worst fears may be coming true.
You'll have to copy and paste the link kindle won't share it.

I wasn't against the hire and would have liked it, but given how 2012 went, I was never "all in". The speculation was all fine until Currie offered Schiano, but that should have ended it all. And all the supposed "insiders" started sounding exactly like 2012 saying it was a done deal, going to be announced, blah blah blah;

Plus I'm not sure many of them realize how big of d-bags they were being.

Half joking. Lol but, I did know of him. Just figured if you kept up with sports in Tennessee you should know him. I remember hearing about him being at the rocky top league.

Lol so since I’m a UT fan I’m required to know what the freaking Railsplitters are up to?

How is Bradley County High School looking this year? They going to be able to top Cleveland High?
