Loss to Oregon was a great thing for the Vols. A loss to Florida will be a great thing if it happens. Now, before anyone has a tantrum you have to be humbled and have to have a loss or losses stick in your craw before you can find the fire deep down to have enough. This is a valuable learinng experience that will pay dividends later. I still say the Vols show 7 wins this year. Start looking for the fire.

So, now things are to the point of fans thinking losing is a good thing?
God, help us all...

We should hire someone to send money by Western Union to the 2-deep of every team we play.

Their offense also has lot of play makers and they always seem to have their best games against us.

This statement applies equally to almost every team that UT has played over the last 5 seasons. It says a whole lot more about the Vols defense that it does about our opponents.

The Vols should be mad as all get out after the Ducks beat down.

Unfortunately, the Oregon game was just another Saturday for this crew. You have to have some history of not being destroyed by quality opponents in order to actually be upset by it. This team has no such history. Not one player on this current UT team has EVER won a single big game in their collegiate career. Breaking a culture of losing isn't easy.

Dear butch I know your probably reading these negitive posts on her and thinking wow this is a tough fans base hopefully not mad like Pelini though but there the minority.

Me and many others here know your a hard worker and doing great things for UT everyones noticed but this game is a lot on the line for all of the volsnation not just on here but everywhere with all the history nothing would get us back like a win in the swamp think what recruits like hendrix and Berrys would say.

Please show us what your bricks is all about and we dont expect a win but a fight that's what your butch jones is known for and no you'll bring us back in time for championchips.

Here is the time is now!!!!!!! GBO!!!!!!!!!

Sincerely,
The volsnation

Who in the world would actually like post written by such an incoherent poster? We really do have some of the most ignorant fans ever. Embarrassing!

They will also beat Auburn and South Carolina this year. And I'm going out on a limb and saying they get it done Saturday. UT 17-10 with a new qb at the helm. I'm not wearing orange colored glasses or drinking anything, but I'm a fan that believes in our team and Coach Jones. I believe that we have to get behind our team and believe they can win each game. That is the reason they play them. Michigan shouldn't have lost to Appalachian St a few years back either but they did. I didn't think we would beat Oregon but I expected them to because I'm a VFL. Go big orange.:superman:

You have to be humbled and have losses? Where the hell have you been? If there are two things that the players on this team know well they are losses and being humbled.

Florida's offense does not suck. They are averaging over 400 Yds of offense per game. They just had turnovers in the redzone vs Miami. If we can't throw the ball Saturday we will get stomped.

Avg yards vs who? Our offense looked pretty good against AP. FL offense is NOT good.

Dude they can't compete with Auburn if they can't play with Florida or SC. Don't let last years record fool you that team has talent on it. With that said they are going to have to compete. I'm telling you now if this team doesn't go bowling this year no matter how good of a recruiter we have on our squad this team won't finish in the top 20 in recruiting.

qualifier for dumbest post of the year. imo

This yr is the best shot we have had to beat Florida in a long time. I think the winner of this game may get some momentum on the recruiting trail. Because we have always done good recruiting florida kids. It maybget the attention of some of these kids were after down there. GO VOLS!

It's better than ours.

Maybe at qb, we have a better line, and Neal and lane have potential if we could lengthen field with passing game. This offense just needs a decent Qb and some wr experience. Their offense does not impress, their depth at defense does.

It doesn't have to impress to beat us. That's the sad part.

Back to back to back blowout losses weren't detrimental to Bobby Petrino at Arkansas.

No, but a back tire blowout surely was.

On the OP,

Its hard to say whether Florida just makes a lot of mistakes on offense or Miami just has a good defense creating a lot of turnovers.

Just like our team has been hard to judge based on our opponents stretching the spectrum, its hard to determine what Florida is capable of since they only have played two games.

I'm in a wait and see, but I don't think its going to be the blowout people are predicting.

We win tomorrow. It will be Coach Jones first huge victory, and will put Muschamp firmly on the hot seat.

Have a little faith Vol fans. Oregon is the best team in the country, and we are in a down swing.

Regardless, this is the type of win that I see Jones getting.

:hi:

Yeah, this is exactly the kind of game where all the "buying in faster than any team", "off season conditioning", "Butch gets it", and "63" etc need to kick in and get us a win. Most importantly is our team needs to go in there pissed and ready to attack for 60 straight minutes. If we go in skeered for the 9th year in a row, then I'll be disappointed.

No way, I'm saying we're favored here, because we're not. The idea that UF's offense sucks is wrong. They put up over 400 yards vs UM, but screwed up in the red zone repeatedly w turnover etc. Do you really think our O would have put up 400+ against even UMs rebuilding team?

We are underdogs without a doubt, but if Butch & Co can pull off at least one of these UF/UGA/USC/Bama(lol)/AU, then he has all the recruiting message he needs to sell. Look kids "we need You. We beat xxxx last year with walk ons. Just imagine what we'll do with a top 10 class over the next 4 years! Brick by Brick".

But, he really needs one of these games to sell that message. Might as well do what Phil,Lane, & Derrick could not do for the past 8 years this Saturday and throw that sales pitch into hyperdrive.

Florida D better than Oregon D. We gotta hope we can score 24 points on them because that could be enough to win.
