Sunday Might Be a Let Down

[Volador]

Instead of philosophizing, guessing, hoping, praying, wondering, fantasizing and speculating on our teams and coaches performances for the 2013 season, this Sunday morning we'll actually have some hard core empirical stats to look at and digest.
Of course on the other hand, the fantasizing rumors of an undefeated season will fill this board at least for a week or two... GBO!!

 

[VolinMichigan]

It's AP, man. The flavor of the day will be vanilla. And it should be. We should steamroll them with half effort.

We will be undefeated Sunday! Mark it down!

So do we play to win or just for stats?

 

[SmokeyFTW]

Are talking about the stats after the game?

I think we play for experience. I don't think Butch will be as vanilla as some might think. This is a new offense quarterbacked by a guy with little experience throwing to guys with little to no experience all coached by new coaches. I really feel that we'll see a lot of passing and hurry up / no huddle / uptempo offense. I don't think that this team will go into an offensive shell midway thru the third qtr. but rather continue to air it out to get everyone the most reps possible.

 

[Volunteer forever]

We will be 1-0 on Sunday. Book it!

At worst we know our uniforms will look good.

 

[sjt18]

I am never let down after a win... not sure what you are talking about.

Some of us would far rather have real, tangible things to talk about rather than the emotional positive/negative whims that seem to carry many here.

 

[BennisDrewer]

Is there a football game on Saturday or something?

 

[ScornedPapaVol]

We should blast them.

Like the fact that it is APSU is enough to temper expectations.

 

[orangeluvr]

It will be a let down if we hang less than 45 on AP. :yes:

Bingo.

Slobber knocking in style.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

I say the glass is 3/4 full!

We get a glimpse of about 12-18 freshmen/redshirts too.

 

[GlockVol]

What's the over/under that this message board will go into full meltdown mode if APSU hangs close and/or we struggle against them? How many will want CBJ fired immediately?

 

[f77f00]

I think every Vol fan on here is used to being letdown, but it won't happen this Sunday. Think positively and enjoy the trouncing we are about to put on AP.

 

[volroadwarrior]

There will be calls for Worley's head and for the proverbial second team QB to save the day next week.

 

[vols72]

I will let down on sunday after being up for so long for the first game but that will change come monday when its game week again:dance2:

 

[landscapingvol]

we will struggle at times on Saturday to move the ball but that is just part of the territory with a new coach and scheme, be patient peeps

You do realize this is VolNation, don't you?

Making mountains out of mole hills and blowing EVERYTHING way out of proportion is a way of life around here.

Austin Peay may very well be the worst team to ever play the University of Tennessee.
