This will be a "re-building" year, but IMO we will have more surprises than letdowns.
(last year was the opposite)

^^^^ although there is a strong similarity: both coaches left behind a horrible program/franchise in search of greener pastures. both wanted a new challenge -- to bring a huge school in a major power conference back to national respectability

2/19/2009 5:11:29 PM

yeah, its really hard to guess what will happen. It will definitely be a rebuilding year but i have no idea how fast that will occur and what impact it will have on W/L


here is my completely ignorant initial guess:

09/05/09 vs. Western Kentucky - W
09/12/09 vs. UCLA - W

eh, you guys will beat Auburn at home

make it 8-4

2/19/2009 5:12:38 PM

i still think ut will surprise A LOT of people....i think having kiffin could be a great change in the order of how ut football is....i still think they will win 9 games...lose to florida, bama, prob sc

2/19/2009 5:15:07 PM

I'm surprised Hawaii wasn't scheduled as an away game to start things off

2/19/2009 5:37:18 PM

8-4

imho

2/19/2009 10:07:59 PM

2007 - Fly 2,400 miles to play Cal
2008 - Fly 2,200 miles to play UCLA

Guess I should have put Oregon instead

2/19/2009 10:40:58 PM

oh haha

2/19/2009 11:40:38 PM

8-4 Losses to Florida, Bama, Ole Miss and someone we shouldnt lose too. (granted that record means we will also beat someone we shouldnt... surprises over letdowns)

"Big names headline spring clinic There has been plenty of talk about Tennessee's coaching staff or the all-star staff, as coveted 2010 quarterback prospect Jake Heaps referred to it this week. The first weekend of April, that all-star staff will have their first coaches clinic and it will feature another all-star. In years past, high school coaches have gotten to hear coaches at the top of their profession like Norm Chow and Bill Cowher. This year, coaches will have a chance to hear Lane Kiffin, Monte Kiffin and the entire Tennessee coaching staff as they talk philosophy of coaching and managing a program. But the highlight of the weekend will be on Saturday morning as the Tennessee staff will welcome Super Bowl winning head coach Mike Tomlin to Knoxville as he will be the featured speaker at this year's coaching clinic. The clinic will be April 2-4 and will feature a Saturday scrimmage as well. Tomlin, who is 22-10 as a head coach and is 3-1 in the NFL playoffs including this year's dramatic Super Bowl win over the Arizona Cardinals for the Steelers' record sixth Lombardi Trophy, has obvious ties to Tennessee and the staff. Tomlin actually was an assistant coach for a short period at UT-Martin. From 2001-2005 Tomlin, who has earned everyone's respect as the youngest coach to win a Super Bowl, was at Tampa Bay as the defensive backs coach for Monte Kiffin. "

interesting analysis. It may be tough to lose ALL those games tho.

2/20/2009 12:03:01 PM

^^Just like we don't give a fuck about how you jerk off to Michael Jordan and completely ignore the fact that he went to a rival school?

2/20/2009 12:24:00 PM

show me my michael jordan threads, go on, show me. show me where i post and update his records or talk about what he is doing on a day to day basis. prob cause no one would give a fuck right?

Every fucking thing ever said by me is an arguement on why kobe is not as good. Not once have i even started that. And honestly, my name on this site was based off of my nickname in highschool, so suck my balls

^^ pretty sure if there were daily updated threads about your man crush, I wouldnt give a fuck.

wouldnt click on them.
wouldnt comment on them.
wouldnt cry and moan when people defend their interests.

Obviously you care because you took the time to respond to this thread. If you truly don't care just ignor these type of threads. It costs you nothing to NOT CLICK on a thread with a topic you don't care about.

I don't give a fuck about the NBA. Therefore, I don't post in NBA threads. You see how easy that is.

the logic of you people that log on to a message board specified to a certain school, and then proceed to talk about other schools will always be baffling to me. If you want to talk about Tennessee, go to a Tennessee message board. There you see how easy that is

2/20/2009 1:40:23 PM

You know they have forums on NBA and MLB sites too, you could heed your own advice and post there

BTW, there aren't many people on the UT message boards that have ties to both UT and NCSU

Here's a smiley face for you

show me where i made an NBA or MLB thread and i will smile back. I do not give a fuck what they have on the UT message board, go post that shot over there, and if you want to talk about NCSU then post it over here


PS. pro sports is a little different than rival schools

2/20/2009 1:58:58 PM

Troll on, trollie.

2/20/2009 2:06:06 PM

the title of this forum is sports talk

tennessee football meets the requirements

if you don't care, don't post. if nobody cares, nobody will post. and it will go away

2/20/2009 2:08:12 PM

^exactly

2/20/2009 2:09:02 PM

yup... according to Vontool we cant have any super bowl threads, any braves threads, any threads about the Panthers, Redskins, Cowboys, Nascar, the NC game, Hurricanes etc.

and I love that he claims "no one cares" but someone REQUESTED that I make this thread... it wouldn't have been made at this point unless someone cared enough to ask me to make it

I might as well make a fucking Tarhole thread, because you guys would support it

yeah, actually it's exactly the same.

tennessee is not nc states rival and i'm fairly certain they're not even in the same conference.

and the tennessee campus is only a little over an hour away from north carolina

how could someone have a problem with this if they don't hae a problem with a dallas cowboys thread?

its basketball season, and you guys are down 21-10 to kentucky

2/21/2009 1:36:57 PM

come on guy, so is duke and they have a thread

grow up

2/21/2009 1:37:10 PM

I have no problem with UNC and Duke having threads. Just because you dont like something doesnt mean its not important to keep up with it.

2/21/2009 2:38:07 PM

i guess I will agree to disagree, I just wouldn't go to a UT message board with my NCSU shit

i have less of a problem with an sec team having a thread because at least they arent in our conference

2/23/2009 10:26:57 AM

In attempt to get this thread back on topic...

I have officially decided that I am going to Knoxville for the home opener on Sept. 5th.

I have been to Neyland many times, but I dont think it has ever been as crazy as it will be ushering in the new coaching staff and team.

just dont know if i wanna go ahead and fork out the 100ish per ticket or wait and try to scalp em. (ill be in the top deck anyways)

2/23/2009 11:58:39 AM

you could split season tickets with moi

2/23/2009 12:47:50 PM

Student tickets FTW. Even though it's still an awesome deal considering I'm in grad school and don't spend every hour on campus, they charged $90 for season tickets last year (it's the first year students have been charged).

But yeah, I'll definitely be doing that again for the upcoming season.
