Would it be time to fire Butch? That's hard to believe right now since Tennessee is projected to win the East, but to be fair Tennessee has an extremely tough schedule and I don't think they are up to the task of winning the east with Butch in the driver's seat.

I was at the Mizzou/Tennessee game in Knoxville last year. The fans were very nice and my brother and I had a great deal of fun, but the fans were also extremely delusional. They weren't fans who were simply hoping their team would win that day. They were fans who truly believed Butch was the savior despite underwhelming performances, and the savior would end Mizzou's successful streak that evening.

When these self proclaimed "best fans in college football" started throwing water bottles onto the field and at the Mizzou bench late in the 4th Quarter after Mizzou secured the win, my brother and I just laughed and said to each other, "fricking overrated."

Shortly afterward we shook Gary Pinkel's hand and basked in the glory of the "MIZ...ZOU" chant whicht he led as 80,000 Tennessee fans filed out of their mishmash wannabe coliseum.

That's the kind of Tennessee disappointment that 2015 will gift upon the so called "best fans in college football".

They thought the players were thirsty. Next year, we will try piss balloons instead.

If we finish last in the East this year, I think Butch would get one more year but it would be a make or break year in 2016.

Tn does have a hard schedule but at this point it looks like the most manageable schedule we've had in years.

But of course it doesn't look anything like a Missouri cupcake fest like you all continually get gifted every year.

That game told us Tennessee hadn't changed at all. With all the hype about how improved they are, they sure looked bad playing at home.

Beating the crap out of a terrible Iowa team tells us nothing.

We will find out in a couple of months if anything at all has improved.

so you looked at each other at the same time and said that- then you surely said after that 'jinx infinity'. then what did you say after that and on the ride home? we are all dying to know.

I'm not predicting anything about the SEC East this season. That's just asking for shite pie down the road.

Missouri could very easily finish last (5th) if there's more attrition. Losing Brantley sure didn't help things.

In the highly unlikely event that happens. Butch Jones is on a blazing hot seat and has 2016 to make a miraculous turnaround.

Can the Vols reps on this board explain why that was happening?? Or is it a lie.
