I believe that we are a long way from where we need to be and it's going to take time to get there.

I believe in these players who have been through hell and chose to stick it out. They may not measure up to our rivals in talent at some positions, but I will match their heart and character with anybody's.

I believe in this coaching staff. While there have been moments this season that leaves one scratching their head, I honestly feel that we are miles ahead in this department from where we were last season. The previous staff spoke of vision and the process without having any real idea what either was. I think this staff's plan has substance. True, there will be some on the job learning here, but I feel this staff actually has the ability to do it.

I believe in this recruiting class. They realize the situation that we are in at the moment. They know that they are being recruited to be our foundation for future greatness. These young men will one day be spoken of as heroes of our program. I salute these young warriors for stepping up and making the choice to help bring us back.

I believe that the big signature win is coming soon that will signify the turning of the corner for our program. I'm not sure which game it could be, but when it happens there will be massive portions of crow served here with me partaking in the feast.

Sorry for the long and serious post.

Yup we gotta a lot of heart but our signature win this year might be
(hate to say it) Vandy. Unless some kind of magic happens and we injure the opponents qb. We just don't have the depth to play 4 quarters. We hung with oregon for a quarter or two. We hung with florida the first half, but our depth is our primary issue. We have 22 players that can play Sec football, 11 on Offense and 11 on Defense We need more to compete in this conference, But nobody can match our teams heart

Will this crow be leftovers from the Kiffin and Dooley crow....I'm not sure how long that stuff will keep in the freezer....

I hope that doesn't offend but I figured it was better than going with my first thought which was 'what a drama queen with this load...

I believe that team 117 is just getting started.

I think they are only now forming an identity and know what they have.

I believe they are beginning to pull this season together.

I believe they are getting better EVERY WEEK.

I also believe that by the end of this year, they are going to knock off someone they shouldn't. I think our schedule opponents also believe this.

You go ahead and feel however you see fit. I had my Kiffin crow and own it. The Dooley crow? Well, you must have me mistaken for someone else. Drama queen? Nice attempt to get under my skin, but you will have to try harder.

I believe upsets over Georgia have happened OFTEN at Neyland...It may not seem likely today, and yet I remember other games we were not supposed to win against Georgia....they've always had trouble with Big Orange kryptonite.

Just Curious But what has This staff done in the X'S & O's that makes you see this vision? The recruitng ,and bringing back past VFL's to our program has been the best thing to date since Fullmer . I would like to see us do something in the X's & O's that shows our staff can game plan and not be so predictable every play. We have yet to catch any team off guard or out of place. Every Yard we get seems to be a cat fight.

I have seen numerous occasions where an open receiver has been missed. This shows the defense that we have no consistent threat of a passing attack. This allows them to focus primarily on the run game while daring our QBs to beat them. To this point, they have not stepped up and burned anyone for playing this way. I feel that this fact alone, along with areas of insufficient talent, have severely tied the staffs hands in the play calling.

More like an INEXPERIENCED QB, 5 games in with freshmen receivers he's never played with.
The talent is there on the receiving end.
Things could change second half of season.
