You have to pick one team out of each:

Which of the Big 4 games do we win?
Which of the little 8 games do we lose?

Florida win, other SEC West team lose

I haven't been on here very much in the past 3-4 months, only to see where we stand on recruits. After 7 years my position at my company was "eliminated" at the end of February right when all the Covid chaos started (out of the blue with no warning)... been stressed to the max out trying to find a job in the specialized industry I'm in, two kids in college, and all I heard was "sorry, we'd love to hire you but we're in a hiring freeze", or "we can't justify taking on any new employees now that all this is going on"... Well finally with restrictions being lifted and things opening back up, I will now have two offers to pick from on Monday, both great opportunities! This has been a very humbling and eye opening experience for me because I have been working in some capacity literally since 6th grade (I'm 48), never being fired, let go, or downsized... I hope now that restrictions are being lifted, others on here facing similar challenges will have the same luck I have been fortunate to have and are able to get back to work or get employed!

With that being said, do we still feel good about guys like Mondon and a few other big fish, or has the momentum we enjoyed for a couple of months faded? I saw where he pushed back his decision date? Sounds like we are out of it with Mims? Do folks think that if we start off the season as most expect, we will get the commitments we need and will find ourselves shifting the list to make room? I remember seeing ATL Vol saying he was "giddy", but never saw anything else about it....

Has there been anymore on the JTD being eligible or not at UGA and where the other transfer stands that everyone including Pollack said would be a heisman frontrunner?

Good to hear. Safe to say we're all feeling it in some manner?

So glad about your opportunities! We always appreciate them more after an experience like yours.... And we're all asking the same questions.

Glad to hear you found something new. Went through the exact situation in 2009 when the economy fell apart. Looking at it 11 years later, it’s amazing to see how much better off I am now. Was able to get a much better job. I had become very complacent and would not have looked for better opportunities. God took care of me and my family through it all, even though my faith was weak.

2021 Recruits: Tennessee's 10 Most Wanted

Since I still haven’t seen any sign of @Bassmaster_Vol - I’ll post the VR2 for the people.

Florida win, other SEC West team lose

Losing to Ark would be embarrassing.

 

[Paper_Towel]

Remember last year whenever some guy watched a Summer practice and said we had a legit SEC DLine, and everyone laughed at him?

 

[drvenner]

Losing to Ark would be embarrassing.

Worse than losing to another OOC team? We need to put our feet on the throat of the little 3 in the East and keep it there.

I agree but I think this year there are better teams than ark on our schedule. I wouldn’t want to lose to any of the OOC teams.

 

[butchna]

Losing to Ark would be embarrassing.

What that would do for Pittman’s recruiting...

Arkansas has lost 19 straight conference games. 1-23 over 3 seasons. That would be the most embarrassing loss I can imagine.

USC and UK are most likely imo.

We don't lose to Kentucky though. Losing to them at home would be close to as bad as losing to Arkansas.

Beat OU. Lose to SC.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Bunch of BVS patients up in here!!

Win 2 out of 4 of the big 4 games; win all 8 of the others!

10-2 and New Year's Six Bowl game...BOOM! VOLS ARE BACK, BABY!!

 

[Catbone]

Losing to Ark would be embarrassing.

Could make it to ATL tho

 

[Rishvol]

Bunch of BVS patients up in here!!

Win 24out of 4 of the big 4 games; win all 8 of the others!

15-0 and National Championship victory...BOOM! VOLS ARE BACK, BABY!!

Fyp

If we lose to Arkansas I’m going full Catbone from then on out. I want to stomp them. 40-0. Y’all aren’t around enough Arkansas fans. They are idiots and think they should be yearly contenders because of those few Petrino years.

When they came to Knoxville in 2015 I ended up going with my dad at the last minute. Got tickets in the upper deck visitors section. If I ever hear woo pig sooooie again before I die it will be too soon

I'm not sure that's such a great analogy these days.

 

[bignewt]

Just back from a back country camp in big south fork, I see I didn't miss anything other than Florida commits twittering

 

[Jack Burton]

Beat OU. Lose to SC.

Those were also my picks. 8-4 is a nice little season for us.

 

[scvolfan7]

Another step forward and plenty to sell on the recruiting trail. Really hope HB is the QB to lead us to that season too. Would be a huge selling point on the recruiting trail, just like Sam Howell is for UNC

 

[SweetasSoda]

Could make it to ATL tho

I wanted to like this so bad but just can't handle thinking about a loss to Arkansas.

 

[Smokeytom]

I feel we need confirmation on Simonton leaving VQ, so we can then properly celebrate with gif boomage!
