I see how you draw that conclusion, because I responded to Capt Argument's post.

My point was to complain about Botch not getting it done. The ACC sucks now, and sucked then.

SEC is harder to win now than it was then. And Botch couldnt do it with an NFL roster.

Butch recruited that roster, though. So he at least gave us a chance. For some reason, our fans wanna dog him more than Dooley or Pruitt, who were much worse. Butch beat Georgia, Florida, Virginia Tech, and won 3 bowls. Dooley never had a winning season and Pruitt had one (and never beat a rival). Butch gave us the best seasons and biggest victories between Fulmer and Heupel, but for some reason, it’s Butch, not Dooley/Pruitt, who is enemy #1 to many Vol fans. Let’s also not forget that Tennessee has to play Bama every year, while the others in the SEC East do not, so Tennessee was handicapped in winning the East, whether the East was down or not.

Butch underachieved and should have been fired, but the obsession with attacking him instead of Dooley or Pruitt is weird. I’d rather have 9-win seasons and go to bowls than losing seasons getting blown out by Florida, Georgia, and SC.

I stand corrected…. Hadn’t thought much about it but thought the schedule would be easier than that.

Not sure if there is a bet to make the playoffs. With good odds, that would be the play.

(Though the way sites now do cashouts, that might be an option regardless)

But once they made the playoffs...steamrolled

Butch also smoked a cigar after Bama beat Tennessee.

At least Dooley had the awareness to go get a job completely away from the Bama/UT sphere.

It was really degrading seeing someone who was supposed to bring Tennessee back, become anerrand boy for Nick Saban.
That was hurtful to anybody with Tennessee Volunteer pride.

Dollander is #21 in the country in strikeouts per 9 innings (Burns is #2). He's #22 in the country in total strikeouts (Burns is #28). Pretty much every category, he and Burns are the two best on the team. Beam has the better ERA.

Kinda the expectation that a college pitcher will allow a couple runs here and there.

Dude, I never mentioned the other two.

Butch isna turncoat douche nozzle.


The other two couldnt open a wet paper bag. They'd **** up toast. Dont even register in coaching database because they should have never been hired. Redaction.
