It sounds right! Either there or the Music City Bowl.

I'll be very happy if we go bowling: that will mean we surpassed expectations. And that is what we're looking for out of this years team.

If we go to the Liberty Bowl, you better believe ill be there rampant and ready to cheer on our Vols

I know that we have major concerns on both sides of the ball, but if we only win 5 games, I will be completely underwhelmed!

I thought the Music City Bowl dropped their SEC tie. I could be wrong.

Bowl changes don't take affect until 2014. We aren't going to lose the Music City Bowl. For 2014 +6 years ACC and Big 10 will alternate between Music City and Gator bowl but SEC will have a solid invitation to them both. It would suck to lose the Music City Bowl considering the proximity to UT, VY and KY. Most SEC colleges are within an 8 hour drive to Nashville, except maybe FL (9 hours), LSU (9 hours) and aTm 13 hours).

This is a team that is not near as talented or experienced as last years. And they won 5 games. I get that we have better coaching, but 5 wins would technically be realistic

After suffering through the past 4 plus years, I would settle for the "Tidy Bowl".

Preseason bowl predictions. That shouldn't even be used together as words let alone be done. Unreal that someone thinks they can predict 22 teams that will match up against eachother in 11 games without seeing any of them play a game this year.

All in good fun I guess.

I dont care about what happened last year. If we dont make a bowl, this season was a disappointment point blank

Lets keep it real here. Does anybody here think we are going to win 8-9 games? With this schedule? With our issues at QB and WR? Winning 6-7 games and getting a bowl game will be a step in the right direction. Winning 8-9 in '14 would be another step.

Lots of factors about last year that you're leaving out. Talent doesn't really matter much when you have zero leadership, lack of effort, lack of preparation, terrible coaching, confusion on defense, no togetherness. We had alot of talent but unfortunately we had way too much of the other stuff. I'll take a little less talented team (on offense in this case) that is bought in and willing to fight like hell for 4 qtrs.

It really shouldnt be that hard to get 7 wins this year...and 8 is possible
6 wins would hold me over but no way in hell is 5 wins remotely acceptable

Yeah you're right to hell with logic and common sense. I demand that we have a surplus of 200% GOP and will be disappointed if this doesn't happen
