Where exactly is your sphincter muscle?

If its where I think it is I now know why it gets really tight when your around Gator fans.

Beat Florida, Georgia, South Carolina. Until we play Georgia, I will say Smart can’t beat Pruitt.🤗🤔🤣🍑🍑🍑💥💥💥😂👍👍

I think we have a shot at everyone but Alabama, especially UGA and South Carolina. UGA implodes sometimes.

Only Florida do we even have a chance to beat because they have a new coach and the game in in Neyland. those other teams have excelent QBs who will thrash our DBs. We have 0-10% chance of even being competitive in those game.

The Florida game is the difference between a 7-5 season and a 4-8 season.

If we look much better and beat them, I see 7 wins. If we dont, I think its very real that we win the three cupcake games and split the UK/Vandy games.

We both have new coaching staffs. What tangible effect does history have on the outcome? None.

It's psychological, it shouldn't logically of course, but I've watched football long enough that it's clear some teams have a psychological edge against others. It's not irreversible or anything but it does exist.

Personally I think the 5 games that matter most are

Florida
South Carolina
Kentucky
Missouri
Vanderbilt

I say this because if Tennessee can pick up 3 out of these 5 they most likely go to a bowl............and that should be the high side goal for the season.

Of the ones you mentioned I think Florida would be the best chance for Tennessee to pick up a win (at this point, not knowing how better or worse Tennessee will be or other teams will be).

Yeah I am not sure why those 5 games were picked when you know we are gonna get creamed in 3 of them. I mean I hope we play well and win but realistically we simply do not have the players to hang in the Alabama, Georgia, Auburn games. The 5 from above are the most important this year. Next year maybe not but this year. We need 3 of these 5 games.

Out of these five does anyone believe we will beat any of them?Florida,Georiga,Auburn,Bama an South Carolina,I think we have a better chance beating Florida because its at Neyland and we will be 2-1 going in.In all honestly I believe Florida and South Carolina most realistic chance!If by chance we beat one of them I believe we will be Bowl bound.

Given our recent history with Florida, I'll never understand why people believe that the game being held in Neyland has a tangible effect on the team...

UF and SC are the most likely, meaning they are remotely possible. SC is tough because of where it falls on the schedule. On paper UF is more likely. But that has never stopped us from blowing it in the past. I think we have to win one of them to make a bowl unfortunately. The Missouri game will probably look a lot like WV. It's going to be a long year.

Why does everyone put so much stock into our loss when we played the best QB in the country and yet put so much stock into all the sec teams who’d played complete 💩 teams there first week? Because I guarantee you some of y’all would be saying don’t put to much stock into it had we played against some FCS opponent....the narrative is always switched when it’s somebody else.

Maybe because our offense only put up 14 points against one of the not-so-great defenses in the country?

As crazy as it sounds I was pleased with offense on Saturday. The offensive line miscues I feel we’re mostly blown assignments. We averaged almost 6 yards a carry. Who knows man. I just want TN to get back to respectability that’s all I ask

That's my preseason prediction; win cupcakes and split uk/v.

Florida will be our best shot by far. (Don't give a damn about history, its doesn't matter) They are the weakest team of the bunch.

You asked why people were down after losing to Grier and WVU. We flat out didn't look competitive with a Big 12 team, on either side of the ball, and we know we will face QBs as good, or nearly as good as Grier in our own conference, and much better defenses.

I was mad too but damn some of the people on here already came to a conclusion that Pruitt won’t be the guy.

Who mentioned Pruitt being "the guy" or not? It's irrelevant in the fact that we showed a an utter lack of competitiveness, on offense or defense Saturday.

We won't know for 1-2 more full seasons after this one whether or not Pruitt is "the guy", but we do know that if what we saw in Saturday, is what we should expect from the team this season, then we won't be taking much if any of a step forward from the outcome of the 2017 season.

Fair enough. I just refuse to believe that we’re incapable of improvement throughout the season and some of these guys actually abide by that thought. It’s sickening

I’m curious about Florida, but Im not going to give a rush to judgement this year on final scores. I just want to see the team buy in, get better week to week, and change the culture and competitiveness of our program
