Remember when the Vols almost lost to App St, beat UF but lost to Muschamp and Vandy?

I do. Vols, when will your AD fire Bitch Jones? What is the general attitude towards him? Last year was your year to do something special, and I don't see it getting any easier this year on the road at T-town and Gainesville with a lot of players gone. I will admit though, the Texas A&M game was one of the best of the year as was Georgia.

Possibly (hopefully) this year.

I think there is some 'fake' optimism. I think deep down, most people know he has no real shot to win big here, but since we still have him, the fan base is allowing their desperation for success and fear of more change to cloud their judgment.

The truth is that every year, the bar to win the East seems to be lowered, and Butch insists on limboing under it. Lose to Florida, and his support will evaporate immediately. Lose to Florida, Georgia, and Alabama, and I think he has to win the other nine to keep his job, even though that thought may sound crazy to some of the fan base right now.

Remember when you hired coach O? That act makes a lot of people loathe to fire for 'better' right now.

Will Vol fans cry when O brings LSU up there and wins?

Doubtful. Most of us actually like Coach O. He's funny as hell but I wouldn't fire a championship winning HoF coach for him or even one who is merely decent (learned that lesson the hard way, already). LSU has the talent to win and run on fumes for at least a season or two.

38 unanswered points was quite the arse beating. If not for that fluke 4th down miracle 2 years ago where Florida beat UT by 1 point, Butch would be 4-0 against Georgia and Florida over the last 2 years. Instead he is 3-1.

Looking forward to beating you again in the Swamp this season.

5 star hearts and life champions.

I still think the 38 points were a fluke against UF's D. Especially with Dobbs success throwing the ball. Our CBs were locking down everyone but got toasted by the Aerospace Alien. Mac could be 2-0 vs Butch.

The biggest fluke to me was the 10 - 9 game from 2014. Hardin making a FG with the game on the line.

Replacing 8 starters on defense.

Offense has been atrocious under Mac. Finished What, 116th in the country last season? 112th in 2015.

Got blown out in 2 of your final 3* games to finish the season.

Lost the entire starting secondary and will have to rely on freshman or under classmen (Wilson, Tabor and Maye gone). Lost both linebackers.

Breaking in a new QB. A failure from Notre Dame and a freshman with no experience.

New DC. New scheme.

Recruiting has been slipping by Florida standards and Florida is now behind Georgia and Tennessee in terms of 4 and 5 star players on the field.


You will catch your 2nd L in as many years to Tennessee and are lucky it's not your 3rd if we are being honest.

Chauncey Gardner, Marcell Harris and Nick Washington are all solid safeties, but Florida is quite thin on experience at cornerback.


Marcell Harris now out for the season at a huge position of need for Florida. Harris led the team in tackles last season and would have been one of the best players in the secondary. Huge blow.

All creamsicles are vanilla. Since most are Orange, you could refer to them as "the tenn creamsicles", or "the tenn orange cremesicles". To refer to them as "the tenn vanilla cream sicles" shows that you don't understand the concept of cream, and you don't know that creamsicle is actually one word.

3/10 for effort.

How did it make you feel to see your team get the shite beat out of them by Lyle Jones last season?

Looking forward to your upcoming melt after we beat your arse in Gainesville.

I felt fine. I don't cry over losing games. I was actually happy for the vol fans. You guys needed it for your overall mental well being.
