Let's see how all this hoopla goes after the Oregon game when they (Ducks) pull our pants down & whip our butts bright red by 60 points. Hate to be that guy but it will take at least 2 years for them to make good on this little promise. I'm all for CBJ & his staff to get the job done but let's keep it real folks.

That rings about as true as the folks that start conversations with:

"No offense..."

and

"I don't mean to interrupt..."


lol

Is that you Mitt? Need to re-read my post. Don't get me wrong there cowboy, I'm all in for the Big Orange. But it's going to take 2 more years to be able to compete with the more talented teams. I feel Oregon will blow us off the field, there's nothing wrong in thinking that at this point. Taking a bet at 10K is just stupid in this economy. Just watch the game & get back to me on it afterwards & if you want to flame me then that will be just fine & dandy. :thumbsup: BTW, I haven't said anything about Florida, Georgia, Alabama yet either but they will be bad news to our team also.

Laying 60 is a bad bet any time. You're the one that said it. He just called you on it.

Copy-paste special. Flame away.

Defensive coordinator John Jancek had just started talking about his defensive philosophy when he was interrupted by applause Thursday night at Neyland Stadium.

He had uttered the magic numbers: 4-3.

Tennessee's failed experiment with the 3-4 defense (that is, three down linemen and four linebackers) produced one of the worst defenses in the country in 2012.

Jancek and head coach Butch Jones are returning the Vols to the 4-3.

Perhaps emboldened by the crowd's enthusiasm, Jancek ratcheted up the intensity and the volume.

"We're going to get back to getting after people," Jancek said. "You're going to be proud of the product you come to watch every Saturday."

When Jancek sat down, Jones deadpanned, "He must have had a Five-Hour Energy."

But even Jones, an offensive coach by trade, won big applause from crowds by pitching an improved defense.

"The formula never changes in winning. We will play great defense at Tennessee," he said.

Jones, who is known for his many motivational phrases and techniques, unveiled two new ones to the UT faithful Thursday.

He wants his team — and the fans in the stands — to celebrate third-down stops with a fist in the air. The fist-up defense, he calls it.

"We want all the fans in Neyland Stadium to raise their fists," he said.

Another one? The 6-3 mentality. Each play lasts roughly four to six seconds, Jones said. He tells his players that in six seconds, he wants three great efforts to make a play.

And when the quarter ends? Expect to see the Vols sprint to the other side of the field.

"Because we're a blue-collar football team and we're telling our opponent we're both physically and mentally strong," Jones said.

all of this do this, do that is getting old at least until we take the field. the coaches should just concentrate on coaching the kids up instead of coming up with 7th grade cheers for us to do. heck i prefer the woo in rocky top with a fist pump than what he is suggesting.

YOU wait til we take the field. I like Tennessee football cause I love the Vols. It's fun to feel happy and excited about something.

The premise that you shouldn't enjoy it is the dumbest thing I see on here.

It might be fun. We haven't had a third down stop since the Vandy game in 2011. I am looking forward to seeing those again.

So he shouldn't do anything to build excitement prior to the first few games? You sure about that?

Some of this stuff may seem silly to most folks, but young kids will love it. Go Jones--bring back some excitement and swagger to this team.

Wise post. The recruits in the stands will feel the energy of 100,000 and Vaught-Hemingway will seem like a glorified high school stadium. We are dang lucky to have a coach that understands marketing our team and brand. We TRUE VOLS are behind you 100%! Go Vols!

I think the cheers at the beginning of the game are the worst. Someone needs to end that or make it tolerable. I know it is tradition but it could use a little spice.

He can not do anything about the wins right now, but he is doing everything else that he can to promote the program and positive vibes about it, would you prefer him not doing so?



GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO VOOOOOLS!!!!!!

You can hear the cheers? The sound system sucks in Neyland. I don't know why they can't improve it?
