So this may ruffle some of the VOL faithful feathers.

I know a couple sports writers and I’ve asked them recently what they thought about the VOLS this year and it seems like it’s lining up with what’s happening as far as the Polls, and other awards.

Seems as tho they think TN runs a gimmick offense and that defenses next year will shut down TN and we will go back to being a 6-7 win team. Was told they think CH offense won’t last and that teams will go back and watch the Ga and SC games and see how to play press coverage on D.

So there ya go. Just food for thought on what a couple of National guys think.

Based just on the QB situation, I don't think we can avoid a substantial step back next season. I haven't seen the schedule, but I'd think 7-8 wins would be about where we end up.

I dont think its a gimmick, but he will need to adjust. These long bombs aren't going to be there all the time, we need more short crossers, slants, drags etc....

Every offense has to morph from the original. The speed of LB's and DL's and the way DE's are used today as opposed to 20 years has changed offenses more than anything else. If big slow linemen on both sides of the ball were still used today the Wishbone or Pro Set would still be used. It's all about SPEED more now than ever.

Woah…..selling beer in a stadium….caused more unruly fans to appear? Wait what!?!?! How could we have seen this coming. I am SHOCKED that this happened. I can totally understand why Knoxville wants to stop selling beer at games. They never could have predicted it would affect people’s behavior.

Either we have a bunch of stupid fudgin fans or the University of Tennessee is making a case for other things being banned that people can’t seem to control.

Did they move the map store in Knoxville? Or close?

So, what I am hearing, is that you need a map to the map store.

When exactly did UGA fans become so insufferable? We can be loud, abrasive, and obnoxious but they've somehow combined the worst characteristics of every SEC fanbase into the most dislikable group in the country. Is it just because they finally won the NC? I hated Alabama the most for the first 35 years of my fandom but Georgia is at the top of the list now.

I mean, they bark at kids! I SOOOOOO didn't want them to win last year. 1980 felt good.

don't have to worry about him in a rival's hands. Plus, it's better for the sport I think

@InVOLuntary we’ll let you take this one

SEC Coaches selected Hooker as Offensive Player of the Year, the same as awarded by the AP.

Coaches Tab Hendon Hooker 2022 SEC Offensive Player of the Year - University of Tennessee Athletics

What a travesty that those coaches who clearly don't know football as well as the writers voted Hendon ahead of Stetson Bennett.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I think DW should hire @InVOLuntary to coach the LVs.

There goes the UNC offense. Longo has been a stud wherever he goes.

 

[drvenner]

Now we can start a thread. Let's go people! Move!!!

@InVOLuntary mentioned bringing Holly back. . .

It’s why recruiting is vital. They’ll find kinks in his scheme and I’m sure he’ll have adjustments. But if we can recruit at a high level it won’t matter

Resting a sore shoulder.

Resting his shoulder. He would be playing if it were an SEC game.

Maybe he should get a rookie of the year award but I don’t think he should be considered coach of the year until he matures. He still coaches like a thug and he got a well deserved taste of his own medicine with South Carolina. He has non class.
