Optimism for 2015

What are they putting in there moonshine?

They may be a trendy preseason pick to win the SEC East this fall. But inside the program, the prevailing belief is that sort of contention might still be a year away.

A lucky Vols group could stay healthy enough to compete for the East title, but a couple of injuries could expose the lack of depth Jones and his staff have tried so hard to erase.

Here’s the potential problem: The bulk of Tennessee’s fan base may not share Jones’ cautious optimism. Oh, the optimism is shared. It’s the cautious part that isn’t.

But the hard truth is Tennessee will need good fortune to live up to its vast football potential in 2015.

Post some snippets from the article, bruh. I feel as if the majority of your shitty threads concerning articles merely link the article and that's it.

Big East Butch trying to lower expectations already.

Dobbs for Heisman?

"Then there’s the future rocket scientist Tennessee has playing quarterback. Josh Dobbs majors in aerospace engineering, can recite Pi to 48 decimal places and completely changed the complexion of the Vols’ offense when he took over as the starter two-thirds of the way through the 2014 regular season. Jones trusts Dobbs so much that he let the junior sit in on offensive coordinator interviews, and Dobbs took the task so seriously that—after participating in candidate Mike DeBord’s interview—he and receiver Josh Malone showed up later that night to watch film with DeBord. Before Debord left, he pulled Dobbs aside and offered two tips. “Your stance is too wide, so you’re false stepping sometimes,” said DeBord, who was unsure if he’d ever see the quarterback again. “And your lead foot is pivoting sometimes and it’s throwing your hips when you’re throwing the ball.” Jones hired DeBord, who returned to Knoxville less than two weeks later and got a status update from Dobbs. “He’d already fixed it,” DeBord said."

I wouldn't really say "another", since it's only like 2 of you that continue to do it all the time.

Dobbs for Heisman?

If he was so good why did he not start last year? Why did Justin start not Dobbs?

Do you ever think to post this stuff on the Tennessee board?
You're clearly interested in these TN stories you post--understandable--and you'll likely encounter some good discussion there.
Assuming it's good discussion you're wanting.

Must be a slow college football news day.
