I would give an absolute slaughter at the hands of Oregon to beat Florida in the swamp the next week.

I'm gonna be there as well. Buying a 3 game package and then getting the other as well.

Tell them to be loud, Woo, stand the whole time and fist up. :)

I am trying to be there too. Want to take my two oldest girls to their first UT game. Now the details...

Head coaches are most often used when a player and those close to him are on campus. In accordance with the new way of doing things on The Hill, first-year head man Butch Jones is taking hold of the recruitment of specific players.

"That's an honor for me to have the head coach recruiting me," Garrett told InsideTennessee. "That doesn't happen everyday to have a head coach constantly hitting you up. I mean I've been talking to him basically all week. We've been communicating back and forth."

"That really shows how much they like me,"

It's likely to be several months before coaches and fans learn of where Garrett will take his talents.

"Probably (a televised declaration) at the Army All-American Bowl," he said. "I mean if I feel comfortable making my decision after I take all five of my officials then I might do it maybe a month after or something like that. But, as of right now, the Army All-American Bowl."

"I haven't been down to Knoxville, but I plan to go down sometime at the end of July — hopefully,"

- Scout

Also talked about Les Miles and John Chavis recruiting him. He loves Chavis. He will definitely visit LSU and UT at some point, and probably Florida.

I hope our defense balls out this year. It is hard to compare a new DC in the SEC with someone like Chavis, but a good first season for Jancek will go a long way with recruits like Garrett.

I think this was from a video interview from the Opening that's been on YouTube for a while :lol: I should have posted.

He also explained he wants to be in a great recruiting class and he wants a "home" feel (since he's probably leaving the state).

I believe we fit those requirements easily!

Dude, you're on a Vol board. Of course there's gonna be some people who pick the Vols in that game.

Of course not just "some" but a lot of posters should pick the Vols, regardless. But on any board there should be some posters knowledgeable enough to see that last year's game would match the UF defense against the Vols offense (particularly the passing game). And everyone talking about UT's defense being superior to UF's was a little silly. I think you can see that from a vantage point in 2013.

And to the excuse that Dooley was the coach, you fans had had plenty of time to size Dooley up before the UF game.

I think you're looking at it with the advantage of hindsight. Some UT fans acted like we had already won the week before, and that was crazy talk, but there was nothing silly about going in thinking we should win that game at the time.

What do fans have to do with an outcome of a game? Are you posting right now to get some after the fact 'Atta Boys'? Easy to act like a know it all after an event occurs.

I guess he's talking about all the wins that were predicated and sh!t that was talked on here b4 that game. Not sure what he expected. That's what fans do. How much fun would it be without the banter? I will talk sh!t and go crazy for my vols every game and especially to gator fans.

Not to mention our defense just looked like it had first game jitters against NCSU, and if it hadn't just completely fallen off the table were in a good position to win that game.

I don't see where the expectations were silly or unrealistic aside from the people who were talking about storming the field after we win by Wednesday.

I don't either but I think that's what he was he was going with that comment though. There were actually some gator fans on here talking about how nervous they were and even thought that they were even going to lose.

Even if we get him on campus it looks like we have our work cut out for us. Getting to a bowl and hopefully LSU getting thumped a few times may go a long way!?! With the way this class is going right now, anything is possible though.

No worries. When we beat LSU in the SEC title game this year, he will see the light.

No doubt, I thought we could beat UF. But, in hindsight, the signs were apparent even in the Georgia State game, that our defense wasn't good. We gave up quite a few third and longs and they just didn't have the talent to finish drives.
