I miss it...

[ManningBerry#1]

Ladies and gentlemen,

After watching so many bowl games and pulling for the underdog I would like to say that I miss us being in the mix. Is it obvious that this is the general consensus, yes, but of course. However, the freedom of speech that Freak has granted us, I want us in these games.

I hope to see the '14 class be the class that turns our program into a national powerhouse as it once was. We should be the team, like Ohio State, that doesn't play tough opponents to get into a bowl game. We should be the team that fights every weekend for which we deserve, a championship caliber team.

I hope, in this upcoming year, that we replace fear with fight and beat the living hell out of every opponent and claim what is rightfully ours.

I hope that CBJ knows that he holds the emotions of millions of fans to where the true orange and white claim national status among the elite!

Sorry for venting but I miss us winning and bringing in top talent based on our results and beliefs. Therefore, with that being said, let's kick ass in '14 and make people fear Tennessee like they did, and we're accustomed to doing!

Love the Vols and Go Big Orange until it's Football Time in Tennessee!!!!

I miss a bowl win even more.
2007 team was the last to accomplish that feat.

Getting to 6 wins is gonna be really tough. I hope we can. If we do get 6, we are gonna shock some teams.

Thats exactly how i feel. Eff buying out the Oklahoma game. Thats only going to make us that much better playing tough opponents like that.

Now that the season and the holidays are over, I'm locking up the liquor cabinet. My wife and liver are pleased.

As long as team #118 has heart. If they dont,they will just give up & get skull f'ed!

Agreed... This is realistic w/ 4-8 a real possibility for an improved football team... not because I think we suck... But we have to have the toughest sched in the country next year- and it can't even be close... Whoever made that schedule- he sucks!!

 

[Aesius]

If Butch works like heck, we can win 8 games in 2019!

 

[volgrad500]

I miss talking about how good we are not when we are gonna be

…or how we've never lost 8 games or the pre WWII Vols dominated. It's time to build a legacy that recruits actually care about.

I don't understand why people "brag" about this. It's a negative "accomplishment".

I really doubt USC, Bama, LSU, etc. really give 2 craps whether their team lost 8 games in a season in the PAST. I'm sure Bama fans would rather focus on 2009, 2011, & 2012 than 2003.
