I understand your concerns about OL but I'm a dreamer 15-0 but in reality if Tennessee goes 7-5 on to next year. I hope you would be ready to talk a few off the ledge if this upcoming season ends at 7-5

I'm telling you...if we have a run of injuries to just a few key players on offense and defense, we will be doing good to win 7 games.

I don't want it to happen, but it sure as heck is possible...and we are thin at too many spots.

We could also get really lucky and have no bad injuries to any key players and everybody plays as well or even better as it looks like most of VN assumes they will....in that case 15-0.

Most likely somewhere in the middle...8-4 to 9-3....10-3 with a good bowl win over another crappy ACC-B1G also ran.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Maybe it is just my logistical brain thinking here, but where do all those people go when it is time to makes dueces?

In the mud that their nasty asses then wallow in for days..

 

[Glitch]

Slit trench in the woods, IMO.

Do you really think any of those filthy hippies knew how a shovel works?

 

[Glitch]

I believe that's called the dad drip...

Dad got the drip. Momma is gonna have some questions, I am sure.

Oregon’s offense wasn’t even in NCAA until ‘13. Kelly was gone by the time it would’ve made a difference.

Mark Helfrich was his OC and continued it for a few years. Those few years made a difference in perception for Oregon. They’re out in the middle of nowhere and started landing guys

 

[VolNash17]

All of the kids wanted to play NCAA with Oregon due to the offense, points and uniforms. It shot them into relevance with kids

 

[VolNash17]

Having that high flying offense and all of those uniforms took it by storm. Recruiting picked up tremendously afterwards too. Kids across the country wanted to play Oregon and it had its effect on their program

I'm a "traditionalist" 99% of the time...........but uniforms...........Let's do what the kids like/want.
More alternates

In fairness, that could be said of virtually every team every year. Lose your starting and backup QBs = bad year.

I haven't studied the depth, so it may be bad, but Heup has commented that our depth is better than it has been at ant point he's been here. My guess is that much of that depth is young and inexperienced, but probably higher quality than what we've had in the recent past. Anything is possible, but I think it would take a really bad run of luck to get to 7-5.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Seems the past 3 years people have been disappointed in his performance. I think he’s one of the best LBs in the country this year. JB who?

 

[Adam Sandler]

Why would they want to have sex with a bull?

Probably a bammer thing. Better to not question it and let the chips fall where they may.

Did you watch him last year? He had some amazing highlights, but also some horrific moments. I'm not trashing him, I'm thrilled he's on our D; but he's not one of the best in the country.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Who will be the kickoff returners?

-AP

Figured it would be dee williams, followed by Sampson or another db. Would love to see seldon take one to the house.

Meh. They should be few and far between, and done well.

See, Oregon as an example of what not to do. Jmo.

 

[Adam Sandler]

That’s literally what you’re doing

Was supposed to be more of a question. Just don’t know how this happens to a very athletic youngster indoors. Truly tragic.

 

[Adam Sandler]

cmon man. really?

praying for kids family, that's awful.

What? Just looking for an explanation that hopefully isn’t the atmosphere the coaches could control. These inexplainable and the senseless lost lives are always hardest to deal with. Can’t even imagine.

Same.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Nah bro that’s jeans and fresh white Nike walkers or new balances.

Seldon is possibly the fastest player on the team. Being deep on kick-offs kinda suggests that is the case. @Plove23

Only time will tell. He’s on the watchlist for bednarik, best defensive player in country, so he is obviously held in pretty high regard by some who are relied upon to make that judgement each year.

Williams most likely punt returner he did very well last year..

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Do any of you have false memories or memories that aren't the same as what really happened, but you were certain you were correct?

I picked up some tickets for an out of state fan a few years ago, to help save them some time and stress. They met me to pick up the tickets the morning of the game and had their kid with them. It was the kid's first game.

I was absolutely certain the kid was a boy, but it was actually a dog. . . Really, it was actually his daughter. I was absolutely certain and would've sworn it was a little boy with him. The girl doesn't even look like a Tomboy, just a regular little girl. So weird.

Never going to convince me that our talent is inferior (and less deep) to 2021…after mass defections, malaise from the previous season, still present Covid threat and installation of polar opposite offensive and defensive schemes. All that and they scratched out SEVEN WINS. Some posters have us getting worse every year…cuz their eyes aren’t working.

Butch Jones: We've built more depth than I've ever had. Now, 93.75287654% of that depth has never ridden a plane to an away game. Our technology shows that 11% have sleep apnea. Only 7% have ever shaved. 17% have their period, and 99.999% of them hate me.

But we have built great depth of individuals here at this great university.
