re: Butch Jones says VOLS have embraced the hype and expectations of 2016

Why will those teams beat us? Would love to hear some justification

Virginia Tech will be motivated to come out and prove they are a legitimate team. First meaningful game under Fuente and there is no doubt in my mind that he'll have the Hokies ready to play. Tennessee will be up 24-14 with 10:00 left in the 4th, but late turnovers and the lack of ability to close games will once again be the Butch Jones narrative. Tech scores 17 unanswered to win going away. 31-24

There's really no explanation needed for the Alabama and Florida games. 11 year streak against one and a 9 year streak against the other. How could I even think that Tennessee has a chance? Death, taxes, and UT losing to Alabama and Florida are the only certainties in life.

You'll lose at Georgia strictly because it's a road game in a hostile atmosphere. Jones is 4-9 on the road with his best road win coming against a 7-6 Carolina team in 2014. In fact that's his only road win against a team that finished with a winning record (The other 3 coming against 3-9 Vandy, 5-7 Missouri, and 5-7 Kentucky). Let's also remember that Kirby Smart will be a much more competent head coach and already has a team with more talent

at A&M - see above. Have I mentioned that Butch Jones has yet to beat an SEC West opponent? (0-6)

0-8 after this year.

Boy, if Tennessee flops in 2016, it may legit take another 2010 season with them being the "South Carolina" to get back to the SECCG or else they just aren't going again...

. Y'all are so success starved that you have a statewide recruiting celebration your for a 14th ranked class?

Seriously. Could you imagine the meltdown we would have if Alabama finished with the 14th ranked class?

Correct. I'm mentioned in threads that I don't even take part in. Personal attacks and underhanded, snide remarks is really all they have in their repertoire. If you've noticed, I typically back up my rebuttals with statistics and other factual references. Very seldom have I resorted to name calling or any other childish antics. I show the tendencies and characteristics of a leader at all times

You take this message board way too serious. Are you looking for respect here?

i cant wait until after VOLS drop a few games and all VOLS posters on here go off about how none of them actually thought theyd be any good

Well yeah I saw Alabama fans' insecurity get triggered when people didn't list Bo Scarborough in the top 3 running backs.
A back that didn't touch the ball but like 10 times all season.

God help us if their recruiting class isn't considered the best.

Right because last year's prediction thread in which nearly all of us predicted 8-9 wins backs that assertion up so well.

Dude, you seriously need to move the frick out of Tennessee. It's obvious that would be the best thing for your mental health
