CatsCatsCats Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I hate UT as a win for UK to start the season. I can't see it happening now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4chs Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 The Vols will compete for the SEC east next season. Didn't they play in the SEC championship game two years ago? Tennessee is 4-4, but will likely win out and finish 8-4, which is exactly the kind of record that got Fulmer in hot water. I guess a coaching change brings a different perspective on things.

I think the last straw is when they lost to Wyoming at home in which they were favored bye 30 plus points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of agree. I think expectations were low for UT, because they have seemed to fall off a bit, and because people (myself included) thought Crompton couldn't be a quality starter at QB. Plus, people also see the defense keeping them in games against Bama and UF. Kiffin is bringing in huge recruits, so it's the buzz. By the end of next year if UT doesn't continue to improve people will probably start to get a little restless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some were saying 10 - 2. They lose a lot on the O line I think and I believe their QB situation will be worse next year. If they finish 8 - 4 this year, Lame better get them to 10 -2 next year. And yes, his fate was absolutely sealed before Wyoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtiger69 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I said last week Vols win out, I waited for the coaches handshake, they barely spoke if any ay all. I agree I think the Vols win out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
