Be Honest. Do You See Three More Wins This Year?

Maybe CBJ will go back and look in Tennessee the traditions vault and see that we once had a long-standing one of not losing in November.

It'd take some doing, but is not COMPLETELY beyond belief.

Our QB play isn't good enough to get 3 more wins. Unless it improves soon, it's not gonna happen.

if UT loses to UK and Vanderbilt, I'm going to catch it big from a ton of their grads at my office. I'll need much to drink.

auburn looked bad against lsu--that game is winnable. Vandy and UK are terrible---UT can win those games. Missouri----too early to tell but that is a tossup.

To me, Auburn looked very athletic vs LSU and played well in the second half. I think we'll have to play mistake free football to beat them.... much better than we've played to date IMO.

Vandy is going to be a tough game to win (glad it's at home), KY should be a win, but right now I'm not putting any game in the automatic win category, especially on the road.

Let's just call the the next 7 teams and tell them they win and get ready for next year maybe we can win 6 then.... Sounds crazy I know but that about the odds most people in here are giving us... I have never seen so much "quit" in a fan base I know everything hasn't gone our way but dang if you're going to call your self a fan then at least cheer for your team and rout for them to win not count them out of a game that hasn't been played yet... I know the odds are against us but no team is unbeatable and if they can play as a team and make less mistakes the the other team we have a chance... So please stop bashing my vols and being so negative!!! One more thing that has bothered me over the past few years and a lot this past Saturday is our "fans" booing the players that's is the most unsportsman like conduct I have ever seen and if anyone thinks that encourages players to play better you're insane. Support our coach/coaches and Vols! Let's make rocky top truly rock Saturday!!! Go VOLS!!!

If a fan goes to a thread and honestly answers a question such as "do you see three more wins this year?" and says no, it doesn't mean they've quit on the team. I'm a huge fan of Butch, love my alma mater and the UT football program.... but I just don't see 3 more wins based on what I've seen with this team to date. If I did I'd say yes and list who I think they'll beat and explain why.

I hope like hell they win 3-4 more so we can get to a bowl game and create some great momentum for next year. But I just haven't seen any evidence that they will.

3 wins is possible. I'm going to be optimistic and say that this team improves over the next 4 weeks. Yes, I've seen the schedule. But, I think Butch Jones is a solid coach and will continue to teach. Unlike past years, I have not seen any quit in this team, so just maybe they will come out of October bruised, but having learned a thing or two. And maybe they have enough fight in them to be pissed off enough to take it out on the back end of the schedule. Kentucky is bad, and I'm not overly impressed with Mizzou or Vandy. They have their own struggles, and I'm not convinced they will be much better come November. Auburn is a tough sell at this point.I think they have a chance to be pretty good by November.

Yes. Is it clear? No. Kentucky is bad. 'Bama and UGA are goooooooood. So, there is 1 clear "should win" and 2 clear double digit underdog games. That leaves 4 that COULD be competitive. Split 'em and get 6, win 3 and get 7, run them and CBJ is a hero.

The Vandy Missouri game this weekend will tell a lot. I believe we can get to 6 beating KY, Candy and Mizzou

I remember the days when the Vols were tough to beat in November. Now I wonder if we can even get 3 more wins anywhere.

No way, No how, Not gonna happen.

Unless we show some kind of miraculous improvement, that as of yet there has been no sign of, we'll be lucky to win 5 total games.

Playing like we have been it is completely out of the realm of possibility that we beat UGA, USCe, Bama, Mizzou, or Auburn, and it is unlikely that we beat Vandy.

The only likely win we have left on our schedule is Kentucky, and even that is not a total guarantee at this point.

"realistic" seems to be the new catch word around here for "I'mma pull an opinion out of my *** that way I can be all like ha ha ha told you so if it happens". You call it realistic, I call it foolish. My realism is this: We can win any.....ANY game on our schedule, right up until the point where the game clock reads 00:00 and the other team has more points than we do.

You convinced me. We should beat Bama

I would be happy to see three wins in the last six games.

To do that we would need to play WKU, AP, and SA again.

At the end of the season, you will likely see only 1 or 2 wins over these 6 games.

Just be ready
