Do Vol fans realize that they beat the very worst team in the FBS this past week? Do they realize that Western Kentucky was a FCS team just two years ago and they went 2-10 last year?

We'll know a lot more about the Vols after the Florida game. You'd think they'd settle down a little until then.

LSU struggled with a team that went 0-12 last year. 7-5 again this year without question.

Agreed.

There are only two teams we can say that should be very tough this year based on week one.

One is obviously Florida. Even though they played Sisters of the Poor, they did that to keep everyone healthy for their title run. We know they are going to be scary good.

The second team is Alabama. They beat a good ACC team in the Dome. They are going to be tough to handle.

The rest of the teams in the SEC that won didn't play anyone that you should really brag about beating.

Yes, I know who UT beat. Why does everyone keep talking about it? It's not the fact UT beat WKU, but HOW they beat WKU. Tennessee actually looked like a team! Last years team wouldn't of beat WKU by 56 or ANY team by 56. I believe 4 of our touchdowns were by freshmen. Yes, I agree, we will know a lot more about the Vols after the UCLA game.

i'm sick of hearing about ppl hating on UT.

yes we played WKU.
yes we beat them by 56.
yes they are absolutely terrible.
no the starters didnt play the whole game.
yes 4 of our touchdowns were by freshmen.
yes we will def know more about our season after UCLA.
yes Florida is gonna beat us bad.

We're just pumped about actually playing football and beating teams like we should! Fulmer might have won that game 28-7! I dont know of one tennessee fan that expects to beat florida or win more than 8 games.

So let's please cut down on the "i hate kiffin" and "vols fans are excited about beating a nobody" threads. Its getting old and i'd personally rather talk more football and less "my team vs your team" trash talk.

except beat a shitty team like we should, haven't done that in a while.

Does it mean we're going to be great? Absolutely not.

A few of my brethren have already made this point, as have I, MANY times.

We beat the worst team in Division 1 exactly the way we SHOULD beat the worst team in Division 1. Badly.

It doesn't mean we suddenly think we are going undefeated. It means we know we've turned at least SOME kind of a corner since the disaster that was last season.
