Buy out the Oregon game now!

This would just be bad. We get a coach preaching championships and then the AD wusses out and backs down from an opponent. Dear lord, grow a set. If we lose, then lose like men and go down fighting.

Realistically: Wins over AP, WK, S. Alabama, Mizzou, AU, UK, Vandy and 1 W against UGA/SCar/UF
Possibly: Wins over UF,SCar, and UGA
Hopefully: 1 win over Oregon or Bama
Doubtfully: Undefeated
Vaginally: Buying out of the Oregon game

"Hey Guys, Butch Jones here---we want to be a program that aspires to championships at Tennessee so let's run like wussies away from Oregon"

Sounds logical

Not like I'm prophesying 10 wins. It's 8 wins. If we are not confident in 8 wins with great talent, and better coaches, then we are screwed.

You can't just say we have better coaches and it be true. If that's the case, then they also had better coaches. Talent? Sure, even if young and entirely unproven, especially with our "weapons"

Realistically, we win 4-7 games next year. No more, no less.
 
Now i know you're about to say "Were Tennessee we dont back down! We will play anybody!"

But lets be honest Were not winning a championship next year, It will be an auto loss, Next years goal needs to be to get to a bowl game.

And with this schedule, Were not guaranteed to win 5 games.

Austin Peay
Western Kentucky
at Oregon
at Florida
South Alabama
Georgia
Open Date
South Carolina
at Alabama
at Missouri
Auburn
Open Date
Vanderbilt
Kentucky

Auburn will be alot better under Malzahn.

Missour will be better.

Vandy will be good (Despite what alot of UT fans wanna think)

Hell Western Kentucky is not a 100% win IMO

Theres a CHANCE we lose 8 games for the first time EVER.

Call me what you want but for the best interest in this program we need to buy out this game.


He(( No. Full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes.:salute:
GO VOLS!
 
Wow, I'm glad that TN didn't back out of that '86 Sugar Bowl, or a certain game in South Bend. Play the game! NEVER back down to ANYONE, oh yea they did that against NC. Should TN just back out of the SEC too?
 
No, that's not debatable. Try to make your point if you think it's debatable

Anything is debatable.

We will return our entire Offensive Line (top 3 in the country).

OL- Tiny-LT, M. Jackson -LG, Stone-C, Fulton-RG, James-RT

RB-We have two very serviceable RB's with Neal and Lane with the same RB coach.

WR/TE - We return Vincent Dallas, Croom, Pig Howard (at 100%), Bowles, and this could include Marquez North with Paul Harris as an EE. We have Downs as a serviceable TE along with Croom if he decides to stick it as a Hybrid TE and Meredith if he gets healthy.

QB, we return Worley and Peterman and bring in a very talented Ferguson.

Def- McCullers, Couch, Sentimore, then Saulsberry, O'Brien, Taylor, Clark, Walls, Miller, Hood

LB-Maggitt, AJ Johnson, J. Smith, J. Williams, Sapp, Harris, Crump, Bynum

CB/S- Gray, Bonner, Coleman, Oliver, McNeil, Moore, Randolph, Gordon

There are a ton of returning starters. I'm optimistic with coaching and solid recruiting class that includes Green, North, and possibly Ben Bradley we could be right back in it. JRM will help in the secondary. Sanders is a great OL prospect. Vereen is highly underrated as a LB.

OP, while I really enjoy your avatar, I must say that you, sir, need to man up.

This is ridiculous. How are we ever going to get recruits to respect what the school is about if we tuck tail and run anytime we face a bigger dog? Hell, not even a bigger dog, just a faster one. Making a bowl game won't matter to any recruit if it's the Music City Bowl or worse.

Plus, by your logic we either get 7 or 8 losses anyway. Let's not look like a bunch of p******, go out to the PAC 12 and give'em hell.
 
What you tell this team and coaching staff is that you do not think they are going to be worth a damn so cancel the game because they are too weak?...Nice message to send your team...Way to build up their confidence...Instead you and the coaching staff should be saying SCREW OREGON!...Bring those duck suckers on!...Let them see how they match up with a great team like Oregon...If they lose then people will say well they were suppose to but if they somehow win they shock the nation...We got nothing to lose.
