Ready to be called a Negavol, but here's a real question

[Volz4lif3]

Yeah, I'm sure Butch makes sure that his players know exactly which games they should lose this year. He tells them, guys, Florida's got too much for us. Be ready, we are just gonna plan ahead for the next game and not worry too much about getting ready for the teams we might lose to.

Really? Your still not understanding what the OP or anyone is saying about expectations.... The Coach's job is too pump up the players your just using it the wrong way...

 

[BearCat204]

Just how is that any worse than being bashed for thinking that the chances of beating bama and the ducks are slim to none?

Because if you dont believe, they wont win......duh

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

And as I've explained before, if I am optimistic about games and then we wind up losing, I say, "ah man, that really sucks". Then I get on the floor and play with my one year old, who sounds an awful lot like you.

Its very evident that this entire discussion is way over many heads

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

It will be these same people who are calling others negavols that will be screaming for Butch's head when things get rough.

Your one year old sounds like a real "you know what"....



Jk, it was just there and I had to...

Message board material pal.. This is what a forum is for discussion, hell who knows my opinions might change a million times but what my gut says bout this year and what my fandom feelings are, two different things.

i'm with you on this,i know for a fact there are going to be some ugly butt whippings put on the Vols this year,but as each game gets closer,i just know they will upset them and win em all epper:

That's two games chief. If that's the only games so called fans were pencilling in as a loss we wouldn't be having this conversation

Yep

I get your sarcasm, but it amazes me how some people actually believe this to be true.

Insert field of dreams here... Roy if you believe, it will happen.. I believe I believe I believe!

You mean you dont put on the pads in your living room??? Negavol

Not even calling for his head. Any critical comment made about any mistake will be met with pixie dust.

 

[OrangeWayOfLife]

FWIW, it takes zero courage to be pessimistic

Angels in the backfield....and the secondary....and the slot...and the well you get it.

Unlike being a blind homer and blasting those who are a bit skeptical takes miles of courage

I'm with you pal! It's easy to think logically right now. The closer we get to game time the more certain I am that we pull off a magical upset for the ages! Overall though, I think my expectations return to reasonable once I get over the immediate sting of a bad loss to a better team. We've gotta be patient and trust that Butch is the guy to bring us back. He's done all the right things so far. And after all, he "gets it"!

Ya know when there's a uselessly negative thread ...you can always just close it....and move on to a thread you like so it can sink to the bottom of the topics peacefully.

 

[GahLee]

So you consider yourself courageous for being blindly optimistic?

 

[OWB]

FWIW, it takes zero courage to be pessimistic

How do you figure?

Lol

The vibe I'm getting here is that anyone expecting reasonable results (6-6/7-5) is deemed a "Negavol." Interesting.

Or you can choose to post in it, like you did and keep it at the top.

If you dont think we will go undefeated, then **** you
