The effect of Tennessee's win over USC on this week's ESPN Bowl predictions

[peerless98]

Have some faith. We're one play away from being 5-2

I hope we are bowl eligible going into the KY game, but remember we are also one play away from 3-4, just saying.

 

[WoodstockVol]

Like the Peach Bowls of 02/03?

Maryland was a damn good team in 2002. Clemson was 6-6 going into the 2003 Peach Bowl,enough said.

One play away......means nothing......but an "L."

That sounds like logic (the "if only," syndrome) from a "former" regime.

 

[JCP201]

I just want to go to a bowl this year.

 

[FLVOL_79]

I thought Marshall quit football this weekend.

LOL,Grambling:lolabove:

 

[imavolfan]

I would take them playing in the liberty bowl. Would be a nice 10 minute drive to see the Vols instead of a 5 hour drive

Same here. I would be surprised if the Music City Bowl doesn't go after us if we are eligible.

We got screwed vs Clemson. Remember Mark Jones blatant TD catch they ruled incomplete?

 

[ATC_VOL]

Would love to just have to travel 20 minutes to watch a game.

That's true it was a total screwjob! I was joked a lot by people at My job after that game.

 

[photovol]

Let's get to a Bowl, then we can have a discussion. I don't take anything for granted any more.
Go Vols

 

[HARTUPM]

Amen,Tennessee needs a Bowl win

And the extra practice sessions

Clemson was 8-4 that season. 9-4 after they beat us

 

[WoodstockVol]

Okie Dokie sorry for the screwup. I got that team's record confused with the 1999 team that played Miss State in the Peach Bowl.

More it was, after just missing out on the SEC championship by tiebreaker, Clausen and the receivers were the only ones who showed up to play in the bowl game. (Like everyone was in letdown mode at just missing it and then playing more or less a consolation game)

The defense played absolutely horrid...to a point where, among other things, there were wide open dropped interceptions that were hitting players in the hands.


Falling for that fumblerooski also stands out

Wasn't that the last season that Randy Sanders was offensive coordinator?

No, Sanders last year as OC came following the 2005-2006 season where UT went 5-6.

This was the 2003-2004 season where UT was 10-2 going into the bowl game.

ESPN has Tennessee playing Cincinnati in BBVA

NCAA College Football BCS Bowl Projections Week 8 - ESPN


Edit. CBS has TN playing Marshall

True. I try to remain on the bright side, half full kinda guy

Playing Cincy just wouldn't even be fair. Our coaches would pick them apart mercilessly.

Well, I didn't mean to imply that type of logic. My comment was more of, let's give this team a chance for the remainder of the season. They are getting better each week.

How about this for your "If only logic". If only we were 5-2 maybe some wouldn't be so pessimistic about the remaining games.

 

[utvol372]

Easy win and close proximity to fertile recruiting grounds were looking to cultivate? Yeah, I'll take it.
