It's also the best team State has had in years and they are coming off 8 wins, and we are coming off a game in which we quit against an sec opponent we killed for 26 years. We don't have experience and depth at every position, that is flat out wrong. We are woefully thin at LB, oour backs are unproven at best, and we're counting on a guy that's coming off major knee surgery and one that hasn't played a down of SEC football to catch passes for us. Oh, and we're being led buy a guy who hasn't beaten a decent team since he began coaching.
But we're all hopeful, aren't we?
Da'Rick Rogers is gone Yes but we have a stable of WR talent we'll be fine as long as, JH stays healthy and CP stays healthy, and is AT LEAST HALF, as good as advertised. LaTroy Lewis is hurt Yes BUT we have W. Bohannon, Jordan Williams, Fugate, Sapp and Crump! we are fine! we beat NC ST (NC ST 17 TENNESSEE 31) Go Vols!!!! 4 MORE DAYS!!! opcorn:
I just wish PosiVols would tone the enthusiasm down a bit. We haven't won anything of significance in 3 or 4yrs. Why blow-up expectations to unreasonable proprotions. The NCST game ISN'T a gimme. God forbid we win that game, this website might just meltdown.
Where are all the rational people in the middle. This place seems to have only 2 types of fans: Folks "Walkin' on Sunshine" or looking to "Shoot a man in Reno just to watch him die."

We can't afford many more injuries at this point
We will know after the first quarter how good this team will be. Will they have the swagger and intensity that comes with confidence in their abilities? Will they overcome the adversities that will no doubt come their way? These are the signs of the quality ofthe character of this team. Here's to hoping we see a lot of this.
You may want to turn off your TV when we play then. It's going to happen. Happens to everyteam. Even with the injuries we have we are better off at almost every position right now as opposed to last year. Da'Rick and Clear were the two biggest players we lost, up to this point. The LB core is thin but we have a solid, generally healthy, group of starters and some slightly less talented backups. Every thing will look better after Friday night.
