FINALLY feel like football program is on the cusp…

of competing for championships again. It’s been a long time coming.

Next few years are going to be exciting. Buckle up.

Certainly hope you're right. We've just experienced the longest, darkest "dry spell" in the illustrious history of our football program. Odds should be in our favor that we come out of it.............soon.

My brain looking out for my well-being when I start to get enthusiastic about Tennessee football again.

I think the offense is absolutely there but they just need to shore up that defense a bit.







And get an elite punter/field goal kicker.

I'm feelin the HEUP all the way down in my britches!

I think we are on the cusp of no longer being a laughing stock of a football program anymore, i.e., truly putting the nightmare of 2010-20 behind us. We are probably 3-4 years away, minimum from seriously competing for championships.

 

[JohnWardForever]

Man we hope so. I remember we were all giddy about cornbread tooo.

Not sure if we are ready for championships yet but for the first time since the mid 2000s there is no game on the schedule where I fell like we have no chance. Believe we have the right people coaching each of the major sports.

Have to wait until Saban retires. But I do believe we are on the right track. Hopefully we can win the SEC on the next 5 years.

I knew Alabama had won a lot of championships lately but I didn’t realize they had won every single one. I guess you’re right, pack it in until Saban is gone.

Yeah pack it in and stop playing. That’s clearly what I said .

No, you just said to give up any hope of top tier success until Saban retires ("have to wait until...."). And Buckeye Vol humorously pointed out the error in your logic.

 

[Cartervol]

Second season for a second year coach. We're not there yet. If things keep progressing this way it will happen sooner than later though... I'd say everyone is just fine with that.

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

I think the offense is absolutely there but they just need to shore up that defense a metric ton.

Fyp

We gone whip they ass

 

[turnuptheVOLtage]

I just want 3-4 stable years

 

[sunnyvol79]

7-6 and 8-5 isn’t competing for championships and it’s a complete unknown at this point in Heupal’s tenure if he can do better than that here.

 

[RoanokeVol]

I never gave up on us, but I am finally back to being excited about our team. I’m scared to death about a sophomore slump though. But my God Coach has done some amazing things.

DUCK brother!!

The NIL deals will hurt Saban more than anyone. Simply because it levels the playing field when it comes to paying players. Alabama was great at it for so long that they kind of became an untouchable cash cow for the NCAA. Now everyone gets to openly bid for players, watch as Alabama slowly falls back towards the middle of the pack in the Sec.

 

[Rocky Top T]

I will start with a couple 8-9 wins a yr. Pump the brakes on Championship right now

Lol we have been 3 to 4 years away for working on 20 years now

But you know eventually Heupel has to beat one of the big 3 in that time or he will be gone.
