i think at this point i can't peg them at anything better than 8-4, but i won't know a thing until the cal game... when i see who does and doesn't show up for that game maybe i'll change my mind, hopefully for the better.

for the record, i see our losses against cal, fla, lsu, and sc

You forgot the P.S. to a 6-6 season. Ryder trucks dispatched to the residence of the head football coach.

I got:

vs. Cal - W

Tedford's team puts up a good fight but ultimately Cal has a few too many leaks on offense to take the W on the road, while Tennessee's offensive woes are much more easily repairable. That is, whip their arses into shape.

vs. Air Force - W

C'mon

vs. Florida - W

Anybody else noticing the problems Meyer is having off the field? Urban Legend experiences a tougher transition his sophomore year with the Gators. Crocs become the victim of highway robbery in Knoxville

vs. Marshall - W

Flying high off the win against Florida, the guys start off slow against the Thundering Herd and are shocked after being down in the first half. Talent prevails though, and Tennessee comes back to win by two TD's.

@ Memphis - W

Road scariness is taken away... I'm sure the Vols would get a 40%-ish home crowd at Tiger High. Not that bad of a trip, right? DeAngelo Williams is still shamed by pussing out of the '05 game vs. Tennessee. Poor sap could have won the game for the Tigers.

@ Georgia - L

Richt seems to have the Shockler moving along at a nice pace, along with just about every other phase of Georgia's game. Ainge repeats with another brilliant performance in Athens but the Vols d-line gets ganked and UGA just scores too much to overcome.

vs. Alabama - W

Alabama's offense still sucks. The defense still plays nasty but probably have lost their will at this point in the season. Tennessee pulls away and pads the score late in a pretty big win...

@ South Carolina - L

Man, who saw last season coming from the other USC. Make no doubt about it, Spurrier's talent pool last year was quite literally on the same level as that of Vanderbilt and Kentucky, yet he put the Cocks in the top half of the SEC East. I hate to say it but Spurrier owned the SEC before, and it looks like he is back to do it again. Not this year but South Carolina will be scary. Vols lose in OT.

vs. LSU - L

Bayou Bengals STILL wondering how they lost to us last season. Tiggers rally and steal one on the road.

@ Arkansas - W

Pass the bacon.

@ Vanderbilt - W

Short of Vanderbilt sneaking Cutler back on the field, nothing else needs to be said.

vs. Kentucky - W

HA

9 - 3

Vols bat just .500 in SEC, but a nice non-conf win against Cal and a still-decent looking team leads to an easy win in a mid-level Bowl game. Vols go 10-3.

Ask yourself when is the last time a team finished wiht a losing season and came back to win the sec?

8-4

Losses to: California, Florida, LSU, and either Ga or SC for the 4th.

Could end up 8-5 with a bowl loss. Just enough for Fulmer to keep his job and keep everyone complaining.

I am hoping for 10-2, but I have to agree with Matt and say I am starting to expect 6-6 with losses to Cal, UF, Bama, LSU, UGA, and SC. I'm gonna be so pissed next yeat if we go 6-6 and I have to read posts from U-T saything that CPF should not be fired becasue he turned it around by leading us to a 6-win season and a trip to the Shreveport Bowl.

I dont see us going 6-6. Fulmer knows that he has to step it up. he will do everything in his power to win as many as possible. I think the main reason we had such a dissapointment last year is becasue we had so much pre-season hype and it got to us. No we have no where to go but up. i say this calls for the team to play extroidinarly hard and finish with a 8-4 or 9-3 record before the bowl

Seeing as to the worth of preseason predictions (especially in college sports) -- e.g. the Riggs Heistmann and National Championship talk of '05. . . .

I'll go with 10-2. If Cut gets Ainge's head on straight, the running game continues to build on late flashes of excitement from last season, TT puts the fire to the receiving corps, the O-line gets their fat-arses into shape, and the defense fills a few holes with stepped-up young talent. . . . .who knows??? That's a lot of "if's," but the heat is on in the Big Orange Kitchen, and the Head Chef knows it's time.

Tennessee did something close to that in 1989.

Time to cut that meat. Huh? :blink:

Whatever. Go Vols. Lots of problems to be fixed on offense and key personnel to replace on defense but I feel another 2004 coming on. Nobody picking us to do a whole lot but we end up the strangest 10-win team in the country after the bowls are over.
