Probably someone from uscW seeking asylum.

The best CB, LB and DT in the country commit to TN this weekend because we have the come in and play as a Freshman sign flashing away...oh Yes!

Attention : Legions of the miserable.

This is not an apathetic DD and his equally lousy staff.
I don't keep up with it daily, but one of the sports radio shows today said that if we signed every prospect who is either projected 100 per cent or over 50 per cent likely to commit to Tennessee then we will be overcommitted. Sorry to burst your negative bubble but we will have a great class even if we lose all the remaining games.

I will spare you the obligatory -- but just know somebody gets it.

I would say several posters over in the football forum should be committed. Oops you said commit sorry.

To all the Negavols on here, just where did you think we would be right now? 5-0? We are exactly where we should be. 3-2. Most likely 3-3 after this weekend. What then? Abandon ship? Some of you just don't live in reality.

Agreed the only issue is everyone has forgotten their predictions at the beginning of the season. 6-6, 7-5 etc...We are exactly where we are suppose to be in order to win 7. We need 1 upset and hopefully it's this weekend. Could do wonders for this team. IMO

I'm keeping the faith in the team and CBJ!

Some seem to think on Twitter that Eric Lauderdale may be wavering. He was offered by Florida and said he was committed to UT, but he considered it a soft verbal.

These tweets were at 1:00 PM yesterday. Seems pretty straight forward IMO..

I'm sure most thought our record would be at 3-2 but its just how the offense has looked and very little signs of improvment and effectiveness from them. Though the defense is a real positive and can see lot of improvment from most all players.

I refuse to clown a kid that is trying as hard as he can for the team I love, so without getting into specifics.... Maybe we are lacking at several key positions, that is hampering improvement ? If the Vols were better/ more experienced in a few areas, I think the end result of a few games would be way different. We beat the gators, keep it respectable against the quack attack, and blow out USA. JMO.

If he does not take an OV to uf, we have nothing to worry about. IF he sets one up, as Ron mentioned, "he gone". JMO

Coaches will make the effort to talk him out of it like they did Weatherd. If he makes the trip, I think his spot is up for grabs.

My problem with this line of thinking:

Should we be 3-2? Yes
Do we want to be 5-0 ? Yes
How about 4-1? Yes, fl not good, we should have done better.
Although reality says we should be 3-2 at this point, in order for coach Butch to show improvement, we have to beat someone we shouldn't and not lose to someone we shouldn't. So by not beating Florida, we have to beat ga,al, or South Carolina and also not lose to any of the other bottom feeders. We also just about blew it with the USA game as far as losing to someone we shouldn't which would have clearly put us in the Dooley catagory as far as coaching and lack of improvement. My point is by not beating fl, CBJ has a more difficult task at hand with the better sec teams to show improvement. If we only win the ones we are supposed to there is no improvement as we have done that the last four years with the exception off the ky loss and vandy.

Only so much the coaches can do with the talent and depth that we have. New QB, very raw WR's and a revamped defensive scheme. We hoped for an upset, could not and should not expect one...IMO. If we win the games we should win and lose the ones we should win can show improvement. Look at penalty numbers, look at turnover number(defense is leading the SEC in interceptions). Too early to state no improvement. I disagree with just about everything you just said.

You just contradicted yourself in the same sentence. This year, we have so far won the games we were favored to win and we are right where we should be. If we continue to win the ones we are favored in for the entire year, we will have shown improvement over the last 2 years. We don't need an upset this year to show improvement. Next year may be a different story.

Well that is a shame because I agree with the last sentence of your post.

No I didn't contradict myself. Dooley beat both those teams his first year. So even if CBJ wins those games, he has still not improved the coaching from his predecessor. We should win one that the pundits say we shouldn't. It happens all the time in college football. Good coaching overcomes lack of talent.

Did Dooley win those games the last 2 years when his talent level was still much higher than this years? No...you are trying to make an argument by picking and choosing the data that you think supports it. If CBJ wins the ones that we are favored in this year, we are improving over the last 2 years.

No we are not! Dooley actually pulled off a couple that we were not favored in. I am not saying CBJ will not pull an upset, I am just saying he needs to in order for there to be improvement in my view. I hope he does, but fl is as bad as I have seen them in a while and that eould have been his best chance for me to see improvement. People can say that the team is improving in discipline, turnovers, whatever, but Dooley was the worst coach we had and he improved receiving his last year. The individual stats do not reflect improvement of the team. Wins and non blowout losses do.
