Quick reminder

EDIT: The 2022 home game season is perfect.

These ARE the good old days.

This season is everything you hope for - amazing young men on our football team, amazing coaches and staff.

We are playing great and winning games.

Don't take any of it for granted.

Go Vols!

Well said, Volly.

It's turning out to be a special season.

I was 6 when Tennessee won a national championship. I’m loving every single minute of Vol football!

GameDay (& everybody else) knows that we have THE BEST FANS IN THE COUNTRY!

It's Electric! before during and after the games....let's keep it that way.

This is the way I remember it being

If people cannot find a way to be ecstatic right now, they need to give up all hope and just stop watching sports. The last decade+ should show people how amazing this year is. This is what Tennessee should be. This is what I grew up with in the 90s. Tennessee challenging every year. Hopefully this will be a better version of those years.

It's a joy to believe again. I believe we can compete with Bama, Georgia, and any other CFP participant. I also believe it's not going to be a flash-in-the-pan season. Heupel is recruiting well and building something special again.

The thing I keep remembering is that back in the '98 run someone called in to the local radio show and said

"All I've done for years is pray to see the Vols win a National Championship before I die"

"Now I'm scared"

I’ve had the Carole King song stuck in my head the last few weeks, keeping perspective.

And now, for the next five and a half days, it’s all anticipation. Anticipay-ay-shon.

Agree completely. But there are some (whose comments you have liked) who are determined to "pump the brakes" on the enthusiasm.

We should enjoy it fully because you don't know how far it goes or when it will end. Some (see Bama) become entitled. I hope it never stops being "fun" and maybe a little over the top at times.

As crazy as it this sounds. I forgot how it felt to be nervous about big games. But for me being nervous means we actually can win these big games again. GBO !!! Shock the world and show them that giant has awakened

I'm really happy for the young bucks and doe around here. They are finally getting a taste of what the 80s, 90s and early 2000s were like.

Kinda feels like you're passing something on to the next generation, doesn't it?

And that is why I posted.

Getting your hopes up can really cause pain. And God knows the pain we have felt as people who love Tennessee.

But...there is time to just feel the moment. That time is now.

 

[GhostVol]

Given the state of the game.... namely "outscore your opponent, screw defense, the points are all that matter"

TN might have something here

 

[joevol33]

It honestly feels different. I'm not saying we go undefeated, but this team is special. That offense can hang with anyone, and all it takes is a good game from the defense, and I think we can beat anybody.

 

[Madscientistvol]

After the past decade and a half, I will appreciate and enjoy every minute of this.

 

[vols 30]

This is the way I remember it being

And we had a player arrested. Definitely back

 

[TnScooby]

Kudos to all the loyal Vol fans who put their support for UT all-in at a hostile ranked team's stadium, not knowing how it would turn out..I respect that so much and challenge others to do the same..I wish I could go to some away games but I can't..So I guess I can do so vicariously through you guys..Thank you for being there for those of us who can't.....

SALUTE!!!!!

Pain has been synonymous w light orange for too long. Time for light orange to stand for hope, prosperity and the pursuit of total conscious happiness again!

Great post @vollygirl ! It’s easy as a fan/fan base to not take in these moments because we get accustomed to the good times so quickly and forget from whence we came. I look around the college football landscape now and see other programs/fan bases just starting to experience, or in the middle of, what we’ve experienced for almost the past 15 years. Cycle up or cycle down, sooner or later your program’s time is coming. Just look at the likes of OU (just starting) or Miami (can’t get any traction) and on down the line. I’m enjoying every minute of this program under Heupel.

 

[G8rh8r]

Well said. After the last decade or so, we need to savor the moment. Man, its been fun watching this season. I forgot how enjoyable it is to watch a decent team take the field.

 

[OrangeDog]

I've worn the orange in good years, I've worn the orange in bad years. I anticipated wearing the orange for our win against bama this weekend, but my son has a Cross Country meet.
I'll wear orange for that, but I appreciate all of my fellow Vol Fans that will step up for me in Neyland. ORANGE please!

p.s. remember your ear plugs, Neyland will destroy your hearing. My ears were still ringing at work Monday after the gator game.

Now it's in my head to, I love Carole King too, but Anticipation is Carly Simon, love her and that song too!! Carole does sing "Sweet Seasons" and this is definitely going to be a Sweet Season for the VOLS and these Are the good ole days and seasons under Heupel!!
