Did you see how a bunch of 2 and 3 stars matched up physically against 5 star loaded rosters with Indiana in the playoffs? We hired the man responsible for it.


No you actually didn't.

And Tennessee lost 5 games in that incredibly overrated conference this year



Tennessee was 4-4 in conference.

And the WR and TE room is completely stacked. RB too and online will be strong.

One sure thing is that the Vols will be strong online.

In a 12 game season, even with 9 SEC games, 10 wins should be the bare minimum for Alabama, UGA, LSU, Tennessee, Florida, Auburn, Texas and Oklahoma every season.




Every one of those teams could be the '72 Dolphins and they couldn't all go 10-2.


All of them going 10-2 and all of them expecting to go 10-2 is not the same thing. In any season not a coaches first 2 none of those teams should expect to lose 3 games.....most of them will not meet those expectations but that is the minimum that ought to be a "good" season for any of them....

Well well....looks like ol Whiskey is back. Season is over, UT with its usual mediocre 5 loss season, and then like clockwork, here comes a Whiskey alter telling us about all of the misfortune that happened that was completely out of their control that led to their disappointing season and how next season, the Volunteers are going to storm through the cfb world like Genghis-freakin-Kahn and destroy everyone in their path on the way to a natty and their QB winning the Heisman. (sigh)...some things never change.

You are such a negavol. We are going to be stacked next year. Heupel is finally warming up to the portal more. And we are returning the SEC's leading passer and some of his best 5 star talent WRs and Bishop at RB.

Heupel has only had one year with a legit defense to work with and he made the playoffs despite having a zero at QB in Nico.

10-2 realistically

11-1 optimistically

12-0 definitely possible

When I pause and look around this league, all I see are a bunch of overrated scrubs and has-beens.

The SEC desperately needs this Vol team to rise to the greatness of where we belong. We have a very special player at QB leading us and his character and demeanor are very similar to Mendoza. That's my QB.

We were just ranked number one in 2022, barely missed the 4 team playoffs, had the number one offense in the country then made the playoffs in 2024 and a top 7 offense again this year just like we did in 2021 before breaking out with Hooker in year two.

What exactly has LSU done since 2019 or in this NIL era?

You are nothing but has beens. Any school who thinks hiring BK is a good plan and then acts like they win the Superbowl by hiring Kiffin is bottom feeder material.

We are going to run a track meet against you soft little finesse scrubs in Knoxville next year.

Lane better be ready because we will be out for blood.

You guys DON'T STAND A PRAYER next year in Knoxville against us with Joey freakin Football in year two with our new defense. You better pray Joey gets denied an extra year of eligibility and even then we have two young 5 stars ready to roll at QB.

Here is to the Vols continued slumber.

The nicest fans you will ever meet, unless the Vols are doing well.

Then they are the worst of the worst.
