Brace yourselves for the Big Orange pain train.

quote:

Several way-too-early polls and individual analysts are predicting the Vols to win the SEC Eastern Division championship in 2016, and ESPN’s initial Football Power Index (FPI) rated the Vols fifth nationally.

There will be nowhere for Tennessee to hide from the expectations, but Vols coach Butch Jones told a crowd in the Tennessee Theater on Wednesday night that they aren’t planning to try.


quote:

“We’re not gonna hide from these expectations,” Jones told the crowd on the first leg of Tennessee’s statewide recruiting celebration tour. This is what we expect, and this is what we work for. We’re Tennessee.”

Two things:

1. Was he supposed to say the opposite, that they don't want high expectations? I mean they've already got them so may as well live with it and hope for the best

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

You are not Phat Phil or Seraneaux. I was told the UT off season hype machine was a 2 man operation.

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...

Well, the Vols are the offseason champs, so it makes sense.

Tennessee would be better served to stfu and let their play do the talking.
