I wonder where all the people are now who criticized me for saying we had a 3-9 floor earlier this offseason?

Most forget Fulmer stating during last years spring game that it would take 4 to 5 years for UT to be back... As much as I wanted to not believe.. He may be correct.. It's unfortunate, but it is what it is.. But you will never hear me call the players "garbage" or "trash".. I'm disappointed, and I love the Vols.. I agree with your comments about coming out flat.. I'm back to the less optimistic and in the wait and see mode unfortunately.. But Fulmer did say it will take several years.. I chose not to listen..I went with 5-7 as the "floor"; I'd probably change that to 4-8 now.
I'm not nearly as down as others; it's just one game, but if this devastating loss doesn't motivate this team to play with a fire lit under their a$%es, then I don't know what will. I want to see them beat BYU and give Florida one of its toughest games of the year. If they come out again and play lethargic in the next few weeks, that will be a huge indictment of this coaching staff.
I'm not worried about CJP........I worry about the dedication, commitment and pride of the players. Are they gonna let last Saturday stand? Is that how you wish to be remembered? For the rest of the season.....I'm from Missouri......"SHOW ME".
