What if Volnation existed during the year the Vols won the 1998 National title?
I thought it would be fun to maybe take a look at some of the threads and posts that could have been made along the way.
I'll get it started off here with some possible Pre season threads and add to it as I go.
All poster names mentioned are all in good fun. I have no problem with anyone here even if I occasionally argue with you. Sgt and KB are two gents I have in mind. Disclaimer: If you're an idiot I may not like you.
This may get long so the TLDR is:
I'm just having some joke time and if you don't like reading, don't read it.
PS: If anyone would like to genuinely contribute I will edit the OP and maybe add in your suggestions. Hope this is ok with the MODS- this is my first thread and figured I would try to do something fun and different.
If I misspell your account name or you rather not be included just say something quick in a post and I wll fix/remove you.

Pre Season:
The two main threads with the most traction are:
Doomed: Why we can't win without Peyton.(started by OregonVol)
and
Tee Time! (started by Nationdom)
The doomed thread is 34 pages long and consists of the sunshine pumpers calling the OP a negavol.
Meanwhile Tee Time! has 28 pages of the negavols calling the OP a sunshine pumper.
Closer to game time the official UT vs Syracuse game thread starts and it's 47 pages long before the kick off actually takes place. Fun times for all.
Week one(after the Syracuse game)
It's over! - a great thread that hits home all the points of the earlier Doomed thread. Pointing to stats like - Tee Martin passing for 9/26 for 143 yards. Jeff Hall should be the team MVP, without him we would have lost to a bad team like Syracuse. Mcnabb lit up our D!
(Op that started this was shortly banned after for discrediting Freak's ability to make GIFs.)
I believe! - this thread was started by Eddie Vol Halen. He was drunk. :dance2:
Some positive stuff in here though. Nice posts from SGT18 about how Jamal Lewis really carried the ball well and thank god we Have Peerless Price or we'd be in some trouble.
KBvol starts a thread about how we will get blasted by Florida. Spartacus argues against it and KB points to the fact that if we can't beat them with Peyton we can't beat them with a QB that goes 9-26 with less than 150 passing yards. This thread really takes off. 51 pages.
(There were less forums back then so people really tended to focus on the main threads.)
Week 2 - Florida week
A nice thread comes up about checker boarding Neyland but considering we have not beat Florida in FIVE years a lot of fans are not keen on the idea and don't think enough people will get behind it.
daj2576 post an intricate study of talent evaluation and recruiting statistics from the 94-97 seasons pointing to the fact that the game will be close. This thread is primarily ignored as a thread titled "we gonna whoop dey azz" posted by IluvdoubleD's get 147 likes - still a volnation record as far as I know.
A "women of Florida" thread pops up started by GoBigOrangeUt.
Freak says "you're doing it wrong"
I think these threads will gain more traction as the years progress.
KBvol makes an eloquent post about our losing streak to the Gators. orangetaz calls then Gators. He gets 45 likes. MustafaRasta appreciates KB's point of view but calls him an idiot anyway. This mostly occurs because Mustafa wishes he lived in Deadwood in the 1890's.
I believe! yes another post started by Eddie Vol Halen. He's admittedly drunk. I'm sure this is a coincidence. :hi: A quote from Bleacher Report is posted: After the 34 to 33 victory in the Syracuse game, I am somewhat less than hopeful about the Vols chances of winning against Lord Spurrier and his Reptile Renegades. Countvolcula says "LOL - Bleacher Report.
Post game Florida thread:
The board is evenly split after this game. I know, breaking news right?
On one hand the Vols rack up just 235 yards of total offense but Florida's costly turnovers were the difference in the game.
AL WILSEN IS A BEAST - a thread titled in all caps and started by beattiefeathers. He spells Wilson wrong but he's got a point, Wilson is a beast.
It's pointed out that big Al caused 2 of Florida's 4 fumbles on the day.
KBvol is happy for the win, but not convinced the Vols have turned the corner.
The other thread that stands out (besides the obligatory back and forth threads of we are awesome vs we suck)
is " Shawn Bryson " which lauds the fullback for his big 57 yard run. This spurs on 2 new threads: "Why don't we run the FB more?" - started by Volador and "stop starting threads using only player names" by Faderoute. All he can see is is thread title on his Nokia 5190 and it makes him think the player is injured when he reads the board from work.
Catbone turned the game off once it went to OT because he knew it was over and Butchna made fun of about 22 people with a post of less than 13 words. The guy has talent - Mustafarasta likes his post.
1972grad chimes in with how the Vols also held the Gators to −13 net rushing on 30 attempts. I love a good stat man.
