The '12 UF loss ignited the Gruden Fiasco which imho caused the Vols 1-2 wins that year. We had Gameday on campus, and the build up of "this is the year" was so big that losing it changed things drastically. Especially since we were winning in the 3rd qtr. I hate thinking about that game cause what would have happened if our O wouldn't have gone 3andOut after the huge momentum building fake punt stop. Add that to how the crowd already was, and giving the depleted D a well earned rest we could have sealed up the deal. That to me was the issue of '12...the O not putting in the final death nail when the D stepped it up and handed it to them to do it. Not how horrible the players on D that worked their butts off in O&W were like so many like to bash. The Mizzou game 4th qtr is another clear example.

This fan base needs to take it game by game, and not get to excited to early cause "We r UT" or "We r due.". This fanbase will bite it's nose to spite it's face, so that's what worries me the most more than anything for our future success. We frankly are in no position to believe we WILL beat most of the teams on or schedule. We should believe we can hang with the majority of them with good shots of winning them. That's where we r imo.

We beat Vandy this year and beat Florida at Florida in 2015. With only 1 Very good recruiting year under our belt we can only expect so much.....but we'll get there.

We'll be back to whooping Vandy by 35+ starting this season. And I seriously think we'll take down UF this year in Knoxville.

I hope you're correct, but many on here said the same thing last year...with Butch at the helm.

I am tired of losing to the gators. IT really is eating me alive. I have had hope in this game for the last 5 years. Its hard to keep getting up and seeing your team lose, and it leads to me being mad or the last half of the game.

However, on that note, I am not afraid to do it again. Let's take 'em out in Neyland this time. I can't wait for this game. Just lay it all out on the line.

GBO!

I'll be able to recognize that day simply by the cloud coverage years from now. Let me see if I can upload a decent pic from that game...
