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

None of this would even be happening if we didn't fire Johnny in such a despicable way and hire the backstabber. Thanks to that, we have a Bammer running our athletic department and we wear gray uniforms.

Nothing wrong with hoping and rooting for the Vols to win every game, it is when they lose a couple of the games that some of the same people start moaning and b****ing like it's the end of the world I don't get. You can want them to win but don't make them better than they are. I would love to see UT win 8 to 12 games but really expecting about a .500 record. Win, lose or draw I will always support them.

All these threads bashing on people for expecting losses at Oregon, against UF, against UGA, etc.

What happens to all of y'all that are expecting we can win these games when this happens:

the Ducks run roughshod over us and we lose by 24

Florida throws at will and beats up 21

Aaron Murray has a field day against our secondary racking up 345 passing yards en route to a 27 point thumping.

Vandy/Auburn/Mizzou/USC- 3 of these four or even 2 of these four just prove to be too much for us to handle and we lose half of these games.

Just curious what happens. Replying with "won't happen, Butch gets it" doesn't count. I want to know how things will go if the above happens. A bad loss to Oregon, a bad loss to Florida, a bad loss to Florida and tough losses to two of the four mentioned last.

I'm willing to bet the farm that won't happen. Why? Because Butch gets... I mean, because we can't have two bad losses to Florida. :)

For me, it's not the opinions that bother me, it's the bashing, by both sides, and the massive generalizations. I don't think the "negavols" are predicting 0-12 and I haven't seen any homers legitimately suggesting we will run the table. Both sides aren't as far apart as some suggest.

My guess is, most team sites are probably a couple of wins more optimistic about their season than the general public. For me personally, each year my "realistic" prediction for the season tends to be a worse case scenario. And when I pick with my heart (and yes I tend to be a homer sometimes), I have us winning two or three games we aren't supposed to.

Just my $.02.

If you expect 10 wins, then just don't turn on you're TV this fall.

I think the coaches, players, and fans expect a 6-7 win season with the main goal just getting back to a bowl game. I fully expect us to lose to a bad team AND expect us to upset a national title contender. I'm not saying any specific team, but when you play 5 of the top 10 teams, s*** is bound to happen.



......and then in 2014, 10 wins or bust.

I only want two things this year.

1) Competitiveness

2) I want these Seniors that have had to go through so much garbage to have a moment that they can talk about for the next 50 years.

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.

It's my job to see that never happens.
That takes courage but Freak pays me well.

If we are competitive in every game this year and show some signs of improvement, I could be ok with only a 6 win season and consider it a success.

When did Spurrier come back to Florida?
