Hubbs just said there is "extreme optimism" that Pearson will be reinstated and that there's growing support/evidence that he is innocent.

Good to hear. There's a difference between 'charges dropped' and 'evidence that he is innocent' as well. So if Hubbs is right, that's great.

Featured on local news last night. I didn't get to see it. Any Nashville area Vols see this?

Jumping way out ahead here, but it's hard to see anything less than 10-2 in 2016.

Definite wins (100%):
Ohio, Tenn. Tech, Appy State (no Michigan-style upset here)

Extremely likely wins (85-90%):
UK, @ Vandy

Likely wins (70-75%):
@ South Carolina, Virginia Tech, Missouri (we've seen what happens when they play vastly superior talent), Florida (talent gap will be even greater in 2016, McElwain won't have them rolling until 2017)

Toss-ups (50/50):
@ A&M, @ UGA, Bama

I think we take at least one of the toss-up games, possibly two.

By 2016, we will have top 10 talent in the country, as studs from the 2014 class will enter the draft after that season, starting the cycle anew. Granted, it will take Butch 5 full recruiting cycles to build the type of depth he wants, but you don't necessarily need that type of depth to win when you're recruiting at a very high level.

We will have a roster to compete with anyone, plus the rare fortune of an elite senior QB, two elite upperclassmen RBs, elite upperclassmen WRs, the best pass rusher in the country, an elite secondary, a "good" OL (it damn well better be by then), two stud DTs with great depth behind them, elite special teams unit, etc.

That's an SEC Championship-caliber team.

Remember the kid Ochoa from Blackman? Big/huge LB.

He's hearing from Nebraska and Wisconsin along with several other schools.

I saw where Penn Wagers and Matt Moore, SEC officials, are retiring. I wonder if the SEC office has finally heard enough about its officiating and is forcing the issue. I am pretty sure that Matt Moore was the official for our OU-UT game where OU was allowed to hold all night.

And also allowed to lose a fumble but keep possession and then go on to score before half. I think it was that freshman back - Perrine or whatever his name was. Y'all remember that play?

So infuriating.

We had some **** calls. UGA was AWFULLY officiated. And who can forget the FL FG with 0 seconds on the clock? We won against Iowa but they were holding literally the whole game.

Driving down to Daytona Beach, FL w/ my fiancé. Stopped in ATL to eat and I have seen dozens of people wearing Vols gear. It's insane how many UT fans are in Georgia.
