To predict Vol football outcomes one must scientifically evaluate one key question:
Do the football gods feel we have suffered enough for our hubris?
If no, then what is the most soul-crushing way the season can go? That will be the season.
Therefore, it is as follows.
Utah State - W - (1 - 0)
Arkansas State - W - (2 - 0)
at Oklahoma - L - (2 - 1)
at Georgia - L - (2 - 2)
Florida- W - (3 -2)
Chattanooga - W - (4 - 2)
Halfway through and we are elated, then we hit this stretch . . .
at Ole Miss
Alabama
at South Carolina
we come out the other side with critical injuries and a 4-5 record . . .
but Kentucky is Kentucky . . .
Kentucky - W - (5-5)
then we drop these two and go 5-7 . . .
Missouri
at Vanderbilt
Shares in Jack Daniel's parent company surge . . .
I actually think our suffering is done, though, for the short term. Three years of Dooley?! It wasn't until the Butch Jones presser that I was sure I hadn't died and gone to the wrong place.
Yes, in hell there is UT football but Dooley is coach forever.
We will beat Florida and Vandy to get to 6! I think we'll be too beat up to get past Mizzou and need another recruiting class to build depth.
