UT is a "tease team" that can't live up to the hype

Why are we on there? How are we hyped?

"Tennessee
The annual August tease: We just needed a coaching change to get back to the vanguard in the SEC!

The annual fall reality: Neither Derek Dooley nor Lane Kiffin in his first try nor Phil Fulmer in his final try came close to winning the SEC East, and the Vols have been a combined 24-25 in league play over the last six seasons.

Tennessee is 16-1 in that time span against teams from outside the BCS conferences. It is 26-33 against the big boys. The Vols don't put 111,000 people in the seats in Neyland Stadium to beat Memphis, Western Kentucky and Tennessee-Martin. They'd like to occasionally win a big game."

The hype is from US...not a talking head...read the first line in our section..."we just need another coaching change...", etc.

We won't live up to our expectations this season at all. Our expectations is to finish 4th in the east right? No way that happens. We win the the east, we surpass our expectations.

No kidding, there was a thread and ensuing "ESPN hates us" uproar already done about 3 weeks ago on this article. Try to keep up. :)

I'm pretty sure most Vol fans were expecting 7 wins during 2009 (and that's what happened). I'm also pretty sure we weren't expecting more than 7 wins in 2010. So...how exactly has our fanbase overhyped the team?

Pat Forde needs to get a nose job and then kill himself! This guy is horrible, he hates on pretty much everyone. As far as "big name" sports writers, he's one of the worst imo.

Agreed. I have not heard one writer/talking head say anything positive besides Chris Low saying TN could be a surprise team and maybe win 8 games. That constitutes hype nowadays?

He makes some 'ok points??' Where? All I see is him saying that Tennessee hasn't won any big games recently. If stating obvious facts makes for an 'ok point,' then reporting would be a whole lot easier.

It's not like he was picking on UT. In all fairness, he included 3 teams that have been to multiple BCS games since our last one.

This is also coming from a guy who calls himself "the forde" throughout his articles. If you write in the third gay nickname person you don't have any credibility

Absolutely ridiculous! How many first year coaches or even coaches in their last year win a conference championship. If Fulmer was still winning championships, we wouldn't have gotten rid if him.
