It's a shame the Vols lost to Nebraska yesterday, but I was mentally prepared for it to happen after learning they had been idle for eleven days whereas the Cornhuskers had played five games during the same period of time.
I wonder if anyone else got the same impression I did. That is, this team has some of the best talent, athleticism and bench depth that the Vols have had in quite a while. I also think around the halfway point of this season the team will strike some real fear and worry in teams like Kentucky and Florida. Right now, they are in the process of discovering their chemistry as a team because they are all so new to each other which gives them nothing from last season to hang their hats on. And, what I feel best of all about is that there isn't a prima donna ball hog among them as there was not too very long ago. (You all know to whom I am referring.) They are determined to play as a team.
Finally, this team will be worthy of paying close attention to every single game. The improvement from game to game will be exponential. This isn't merely one of those "Wait 'til next year." teams. I predict that by SEC Tournament time, the pundits like Vitale will be putting the Vols on equal footing with Kentucky, Florida, and whoever else might have emerged as we will have.
GO VOLS!!
