We are gonna beat florida. Think about it. No way florida scores anywhere near the 40 west virginia scored on us. They don't have anywhere near the offensive talent at any position except maybe rb. Stop thinking we're so bad because of last yr. These kids can play. Are we going to the national title game? Porbably not, but we sure as hell can win some games and become bowl eligible. So get ur swagger back, believe in what's going on, and represent Tennessee Football in a positive way when you talk. Pieces are fitting together......coaches are finding out who can play on Saturdays and who cant. Let's Go VOLS!

When it comes to Florida, best to have humility and get to work.

Get some pride?

I've had ORANGE pride for decades! I suffered through Bowden Wyatt, Dooley, and Botch. I felt better with Dickey, Majors, and Fulmer. McDonald and Kiffin were not around long enough to instill nor kill my attitude. I've been a Vol for longer than most have been breathing.

If you don't feel pride wearing orange and white, find another cause.

Well, thanks for the pep talk, I guess. What's your definition of pride? Mine, in a rebuild year, is to support and rep the Orange, keep my big mouth shut and take solace in incremental progress. I have confidence Pruitt will get us to respectability in a year or two, until then you do what reasonable folks do in a rebuild year. You endure it.

When we start winning again regularly against top SEC teams. It's impossible to be proud of this absolute bullsqueeze we've been witnessing since about 2001.

People can use polls, top 25 lists, and even playoffs all they want, but the fact of the matter is the Tennessee Volunteeers have already been recognized as the undisputed college football National Champions by the highest authority and it's already signed into law and verifiable. All the wannabes after it was done can fool themselves but the law hasn't changed.
