I don't remember being picked to win the east either 2014 or 2015. Maybe a few had us in 2015 but most had Georgia.

Jalen Tabor is and always will be a complete and utter moron. Sorry, "Moran."

No, he is a moron. You were initially correct :)

Moran is a term of endearment for VFLs and VN regulars... :hi:

LA Vol said:
Have to take the over-- 9.5 puts team goals in jeopardy.

Can't lose to VT with the whole world watching. Gotta win The Battle of Bristol for the history books.

Can't lose to our East rivals. Gotta break that UF streak and beat the Dawgs to get to ATL.

Going 10-2 probably means a L to both SECw teams. Losing to aTm would suck, but it's a tough road game in the middle of a brutal 4-game SEC stretch. The Vols could lose to the SECw teams and still sweep the SECe to get to ATL.

Going 11-1 probably means a L to Bama, but we could get another shot at 'em in the SECCG. They'd have a hard time beating this team twice.

So 10-2 or 11-1 are the most likely scenarios, IMO. We'll probably need 11-1 to be a playoff team, so I'm rolling with that.

Tennessee has never lost to aTm in football.
This year won't be that year either...
The texas VFLs will not abide such talk
:)

So at worst 11-1 is acceptable, begrudgingly
:hi:

Does this article say anything we didn't already know? Police made a courtesy call to Butch. Players were still suspended immediately and never played again. Awaiting trials this summer. What could Butch have done differently?

I made the mistake of thinking his message might get "old" but he keeps appealing to all of us whether we have heard him speak multiple times or not. Special special man making a huge difference on this earth.

You guys know how LWSVOL is typically VERY conservative and even pessimistic about his predictions for the team?

Thread on VQ right now about the Vols' W/L record in 2016 and taking the over/under at 9.5 wins.

Here's his response:

Larry and Hubbs always predict less wins than everyone. And they are always right.

Love seeing Larry that confident. Hopefully Hubbs follows suit when they do their predictions in August.

Y'all think a 3 SEC loss team could still get to ATL? If we did slip up and lose to say... Bama, Tamu, and FL

Would mean UF would have to lose 4 conference games or we get in via some funky 3 way tiebreaker I believe.

So they'd have to lose to UGA, LSU, USC and the other west team they have to play. They won't lose to Uk Vandy or Mizzou

Edit: that other west team is @ Arkansas

Ok thanks, nice outlook! To me that's not going to work for us. Gotta win 6 of our 8 SEC games

I think we have to win 7 at least. No reason to lose to UGA UF TAMU etc... Bama is only team as or more talented and experienced as we are. This is the year.

I'm good with that. I see no reason to lose to aTm and help save Kevin Sumlin's job.
