Tennessee is back.

[swampfoxfan]

This game was the equivalent of that @ Texas A&M game and we are winning it.

Another note is the SEC just isn't as deep as it was in 2016. I think Alabama and Georgia are still very elite and Georgia is a lot better than in 2016 but the rest of the league seems down with the exception of Ole Miss and Kentucky. We don't play Ole Miss so that is good.

I wish deeply that we played ole Miss this year.

We have the IMHO Heisman frontrunner. I definitely have BVS knowing we thought they were back in 2016 when I realized it was just Dobbs making plays.
Now I don't quite feel the same way with Heupel in what he is doing with this offense but again BVS struggle is real lol

There's no way

Heupel is clearly way better than Butch.

That 2016 team needed literal miracles to get to 5-0 and we are cruising.

This is the best team since 2007 and could very easily be better.

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Beat bama and I will agree even if lose to UGA Need to end one more streak but love the fact we actually can look forward to a game vs dread it

When was the last time Tennessee and Alabama were undefeated heading into their matchup?

1989

 

[VOL89grad]

It’s GREAT to be a VOLUNTEER today! GO VOLS!

 

[Brave Volunteer]

Even the great Fulmer teams would be hard-pressed to do that.

The great Fulmer teams did beat AL and GA's ass nearly every year.

Yeah, they could flop a million times and it wouldn’t help them this year. We’d hang 40+ on them.

1989

Wow, I wasn’t even alive then

I completely agree.
But BVS is real lol I'm just hoping things are still really good when Hooker leaves.

 

[VolInDayton]

Man....I'm still jaded by 2016. We beat Florida and Georgia and had a great start, and fell apart.

This does not feel like that. But I'm still hesitant to say that just yet.

We fell apart in double overtime the week before Bama. The week before Bama this year we beat a top 25 on the road by 30

 

[Rickyvol77]

It isn't Alabama, it is Saban. I don't see Fulmer beating Saban. He had 2 chances and got killed both times.

He beat saban in 2001

1989 was a great time to be alive (and be a Tennessee Vol.)

Don’t think Fulmer ever beat number 1 and 2 in the same season. Would bet very few coaches ever have

 

[OrangeTsar]

Yeah, Heupel had a very bad experience when he was fired by Stoops at OU. From what I gather, there is bad blood there.

And even if there hadn’t been, why in the world would he want to leave a program he has built into the cusp of a contender to start a rebuild at a dumpster fire? Money will not be a problem. UT will open the checkbook

 

[OrangeTsar]

Why would he consider leaving given the support he has, the facilities, and what he is building? It would make no sense.

Finally, a wise man appears ^^^^^

Nope, we got ENOUGH ranked programs on our schedule this year. We’re good

October 21 wasn’t.

Are you sure?
I mean, a lot of posters on here think we still suck, and I don't know if it's just us or not.
What if errybody sucks?

 

[Other_Guy]

Lol at Kentucky right now.

 

[SKBubba]

 

[RockyTopTexas]

It's official.

Not yet

 

[ttocswob]

October 21 wasn’t.

No, that's for certain.

 

[foolonthehill]

Until Heupel leaves for Oklahoma :/

I think they fired him once already. He ain't leaving.
