I haven't heard the 8 wins deal.

8-4 this year is no different than 6-6 last year with the schedule. Swap LSU and last year's Arky team for MSU and Missouri. We still don't win a significant game, lose to Bama again and solidy our hold on fourth best team in the east. Any improvement would mean nine wins minimum this year.

Iam on a strict diet these days. No soda's especially. I perefer to give by gift card. Hahahaha

StDV is a p90x guy. He bought that as a donation.

Ive been off the Fooley train since Florida

I hear you. I started after Arky last year. KY turned that into pure unadulterated rage and unbending determination to get someone qualified to lead the team I love.

You are our new Propoganda Minister......if you will give us the honor of accepting that position.

Accepted.

Was. Gonna start back in the am. 1st of the month

Everyone is talking the schedule as a whole. Can we agree the question really comes down to the next game?

 

[JayVols]

Sorry,Jay..I thought you had heard about the 8-win window..I'd say it's more opinion than anything because who knows what Hart is thinking in regards to # of wins.:unsure:

IMO, anything less than that and Dooley is gone..No questions asked..If he goes 0 for October, well his fate is sealed for sure.:whistling:

I have heard rumblings that 9 wouldn't save him. I'm not saying that's fact, but it's been said. There are many important folks that despise Dooley. A good number of those are former players. They feel slighted by the bumbling way he has handled them.

Me too. Been lifting last month. You doing x1 or X2?

Florida was the point of no return for me. It reminded me of how great Neyland can be again and clarified that we will not get there with the current staff.

1. Never got 2

Why would a win over Miss St. be a hinge game?

I didn't like 2. 1 is better.

What comes down to the next game?

That's what I've heard

 

[JayVols]

Where do you get this info from Jay?

Some former players is one place. Can't say much beyond that. Not trying to be an azz or deceptive, but I gave my word. Without his word a man has nothing. I take that seriously.

Is the next game MSU or Bama that matters?

I'm going to pig out today on my last Pre p90 day

BINGO! I was amazed at that atmosphere. Just the thought of us being back had the masses in a frenzy. Needless to say that bubble was busted.

Cool thanks. My buddy works in the athletic Dept and tells me that everyone hates Dooley. Said he is a complete prick to all the administrative staff

 

[JayVols]

Let's hang "toe to toe" banners around Neyland stadium.

El. Oh. El.

More unity from the boosters.
It's the most winnable game. If we drop this one the 8 win window shuts.

Sounds good.

 

[JayVols]

I think you coached Defense, didn't you Jay?? Well Gruden can hire you as his DC..:clapping:

Yes. I work cheap, but alas, I'm about as qualified to do that as Dooley was to be the HC.

But we should beat Miss St. just because they are Miss St.
