What is your Bold Prediction for the 2025 season?

We lose to Florida, Georgia, Bama, and Oklahoma but G Mac finishes the season as the starter and has a Tyler Bray to Justin Hunter and DaRick Rogers type connection with Matthews and Jackson

Lewis goes for 1000

Bold prediction: I think Aguilar ends up surprising a lot of teams and helps us a lot this year.

Not saying he will be a world beater, but you can see he plays a lot more loose compared to Nico did. If you go back to his 2023 highlights, he was a pretty decent QB and played against some P4 defenses. His 2024 was rough due to App St.'s O-line being awful, so hopefully we see his 2023 skill level return.

This take bothers me. It bothers me bc I’m considering the source of the take. Why are you saying this?

Because I've not found any Sunbelt QB that has found success in the SEC. There may have been but I can't recall or find one.

Entirely different leagues and caliber of players. Can't just depend on his stats to assess his capabilities playing in this conference. Plus, there are many new pieces in this offense that have not played a game in this offense. September into mid-October will be a lot of learning experience for the offense IMO.

and I could be wrong just my feelings at this juncture.

For whatever reason, every time my husband and I travel to an away game, we lose. Unless something changes, Miss. State and Florida are a loss. The difference this year is that my son is going with me to the Mississippi State game. Maybe my husband is the bad luck, and we pull that off. We'll see..... 🤣

Nobody in your entire family can ever attend an away game again, from here to eternity, EVER!! Talk about saving the worst conference loss we could have this year, whew!

I agree with you. Not only is Joey going to be dealing with learning to play against SEC competition he is also going to be adjusting to a new offense along with all the other skill position players.

I may be wrong but I think this is a recipe for disaster and I predict a 7-5 season.

We keep the Georgia game close and have a chance to win late. We beat Florida in the swamp but lose a close game @bama. There is no laying of an egg on the road but we do struggle somewhat against either Mississippi State or Kentucky, coming away with an ugly win. We finish the season 10-2 with a playoff birth.

"Ugly" kind of year with an elite defense, solid running game, and a meh passing game with QB by committee eventually. Our defense keeps every loss close.

I think CJH just goes through the motions this year as he did in ‘23 but, I think about halfway through the season, he picks one of the two youngsters and rides with him as far as the NIL will allow.

Pavia had some degree of success and played in a league that is about equivalent to the Sun Belt these days. It’s an enormous jump though and far from a given. If Georgia were entering the season with Aguilar starting, most of the people talking him up now would be counting Georgia as an easy win for the Vols.

If we win at State but lose in the Swamp we at VolNation will demand that you revoke your husband‘s road tickets! 😂
