re: Realistic expectations of the Tennessee Vols in 2016

We won't lose to UF and I've already taken a ban bet with one of you figs if we do lose. No way you beat us in Knoxville this year and yes I don't give a frick that you've beaten us 11 straight times. We are better, we are at home, and we will win.

I am thinking that the momentum from last year and the very clear chance of great things for the Vols this year will have the team 5-0.

Afterward, not predictable at all.

I love optimistic V012s fans. Yes, you will lose again. It is your destiny to be our bitches.

Just like it is the destiny of Gator fans to be bad losers and bad winners.

More likely is that the Gators slip back to the middle of the SEC pack, a position at least better than the doormat you resembled for so many decades.

Hopefully you can avoid having to vacate any more SEC crowns.

You will be disappointed, count on it.

After close wins against Appy State and VT and a comfortable win against Ohio your season and hopes for 2016 will come crashing down with losses to UF, UG, TA&M and Bama. Then of course you will run the table in the weak sisters of the conference and win a mid level bowl game and set yourselves up for another off season national championship by closing with a string of wins.

I don't think you understand the current mindset of the average UT fan.

e could go 10-2 and as long the losses aren't both UA and UF and we still get to go to the SECC its not a failure

---

Replace uf with Uga and it's still a failure.

If we lose to all four of them it's time to see if Peyton wants to coach, imo.

Not if we make the SECC game

I mean yeah it would suck to lose to those teams, I obviously want to beat them all. But this is a program that hasn't won 10 regular season games since 2003 and you're about to call 10-2 a failure, especially with a win over UF for the first time in 11 years? Pump the brakes

Doormats maybe but still own Vo12s asses. Just ask Peyton.

You willing to put a ban bet on this game? I am because I'm confident we will beat UF.

What? and miss the fun if you do happen to win? And why would I want you to miss the fun when we win #12.

Sounds like you aren't too confident in your team.
