Those are some good points 423. I for one have made an effort to tone it down the past 2-3 weeks, although certain reports of poor performance in scrimmage have set me off a couple of times.

Imagine that. some poor performances in scrimmages. They occur at every team at every level. If you looked you would have seen in some of the very same reports that there were some good things that happened.

No sir. I don't feel I think. I think it is the other way around. I think there are way too many that have let the emotions of last year cloud thier judgement.

This is the primary difference between those that hold your viewpoint and those that view things more in line with me. You view last year as an isolated incident. Most of us view last year as the culmination (at least to-date) of years of deterioration in the program resulting from poor coaching.

So, which of the following observations do you dispute?

It sounds much worse than last year to me. I've heard about a piss poor offensive line that doesn't do a good job of run or pass blocking. I've heard about wide receivers dropping a lot of passes. Last year we never heard about the wide receivers dropping passes in practices and scrimmages. We heard nothing except how great our wide receivers were right up until the point that they proved to all of us that in an actual game they couldn't catch a cold. I've heard about a lack of depth on the defensive line. I've heard about Ainge continuing to look shaky in practices and scrimmages, yet still being the best option available. When you combine those things with an unproven group of linebackers and a secondary that all of you seem to think is great despite the fact that it's basically the same group (minus the best player) that got shredded by even some mediocre passing teams last year, I'm concerned.

Oline reports have been that the first team is ready but some of the backups need to step their game up. OOOOHHHHH what a surprise there. A coach calls his back ups out. man!

I've not heard the WR dropping a lot of passes. Sorry.

i've heard that our D will be faster and maybe better than last year. Our D line will be good due to the rotation that Chief uses and has always used. ALL have significant playing time.

Look man, you can think these guys suck if you want. This is America and you have the right to be wrong and in 3 days you will see. Enjoy your negative time because it is fast becoming a precious comodity.

Cool by me. Think what you want. I remember 2 years ago a team that over achieved big time. You may choose to forget and that is fine. But my memory is not that short.

Well I'm with VolBeef. Not part of the "Most of us" crowd.

Yep. Last year on another Vol discussion board I was called an idiot when I predicted that we'd lose to Alabama, South Carolina, Notre Dame and Vanderbilt. One guy even took my quote and entered it into his signature, saying that he'd remind me of what an idiot I was after UT won all of those games. A few weeks after UT lost to Vanderbilt he finally deleted it from his signature block.

This year, I predict we'll lose to California, Florida, Georgia, LSU and Alabama.

Well ole great one. Did you predict the year before when NO ONE had us doing good? Look dude, you (according to your posts) are a negative type person. I get it. But I don't think this team is bad. I don't think these kids forgot how to play ball. I don't think the coaches forgot how to coach. I do think that they all got comfortable and in sports and in business that is dangerous. I don't let my emotions get the best of me in that area like some. I think and make my decisions on facts. The facst are.
1. These kids are among the highest recruited in the nation.
2. This coaching staff has SEC championships and a National.
3. Major changes have been made to adress past problems.

Especially if you don't want to see it. I've seen very good progress in our team from spring through fall.

You don't think I've wanted to see it?! You obviously don't want to see the following: It seems like every practice report is negative. According to most, Ainge is as terrible as ever. Our offensive line is supposedly unimpressive, which may neutralize our big offensive strength, the running backs. Those doubts make it tough to be optimistic.

I still say we'll beat Cal, though.

I believe the 2004 team finished the season ranked pretty close to where they started.

Yeah, I really love to see the Vols doing bad. Your logic is dizzying. Note I have also said several times that the Vols would beat Cal. Thus, UT winning would only support my statements. So either you are confused, or you actually think that Cal will win.

Actually, I predicted a much better year in 2004 than most people were predicting once they benched Leak and turned it over to Ainge and Schaeffer, both of which were much better than Leak.

Ok dude your right. We suck. We will be lucky to win enough games to go to a weedeater bowl. We should fire CPF and staff and just drop football all together. We will never be good. Other schools just tricked us into thinking these kids were good. We have no hope and no tradition and the world is coming to an end very shortly.


OK there. Are you happy?

Vandy knocked us out of the weedeater bowl last year. Also, no one mentioned our school lacking tradition. Why would you say that? Quit being so freaking negative.

You are the most negative person on here. In fact, you started an entire thread merely to complain about posters on Volnation.

Your drunk! This thread was about those who are negative about my VOLS. Not just in here. ESPN, CFN, etc...

Have another drink. :wavey:

Part of being a fan(short for fanatic) is believing in your team when no one else does. Cheer them when they do well and support them when they're down.

Go Big Orange
