I'm excited to see the Butch Jones version of the Volunteers, but my overall excitement for Tennessee(pro and college) football in general isn't as high as it used to be. I guess neither of my favorite teams(Titans/Vols) being worth 2 ****s in what feels like forever will do that.
I still get pumped about football season and watching football in general..but the results of the Titans/Vols games don't get me as up or as down as they used to. Go in to most games expecting a loss now adays. Back in the late 90s/early 00s it'd be considered an upset for almost any team to beat either the Titans or Vols.
Maybe we'll see them return to that soon.
