The cutest thing about Pete Fiutak’s Tennessee preview is this:
Assume a win over Vanderbilt at home to close out the regular season…
The Vols currently own a three-game losing streak against Vandy and, yes, it felt good typing that.
You know what happens when you assume…

That whole article sickens me. They are losers, mentally and physically. As Leonard Postostie use to say, “Leonard’s loser – TN”. (That’s for all you oldsters out there, like me, who had the good fortune of listening to Leonard’s Losers back in the day!)

I believe Leonard had a rooster that would (supposedly) make the picks. There would be two small piles of feed representing two teams. The number of pecks the rooster gave to each pile in a given time-frame would determine the points for each team.
Maybe Herbie and Corso should get roosters.

Tennessee can’t assume wins over Vandy or Kentucky, which is a hilarious statement on the state of their program. May they rot forever.

The title of the post alone is gold. If you can’t spell “sneak” properly, you might be a Vols fan. Or a preschool dropout. I’m guessing that there’s more than a little overlap between those two groups.

To be fair, most of the comments are realistic:
It would be a major upset. Not an App St over Michigan type of upset…. but not too far off that. UT would have to play over their heads. UGA would have to choke and make a bunch of mistakes.

I don’t believe I saw one reference to Chaney, odd. Also, there’s a a lot of “ifs” in that formula to 8 wins, including banking on magical returns from significant medical issues and freshmen playing lights out against SEC opponents on the road. While Pruitt has done well scraping together some pieces, there is no quality depth yet. Good luck with that, Jeremy.

The real question is, if Tennessee can flip the series with Vandy, who gets credit in history for that: Pruitt or Phil?

Ahhh…the old Vandy hump. Will THIS be the year they break the curse against the Vaunted ‘Dores?

I’m picking Vandy in that game. They’ll almost be fully recovered from the UGA asswhippin by then, whereas the vols will need a full off season to recover.

One year ago I fully assumed that UF would have a better season than UT but that Pruitt had a higher ceiling than Mullen in their new roles. I’m not sure if I agree or disagree with myself one year later. Mullen has pressure to do the same as last year and Pruitt to win a couple more, and neither of those are sure things. Every year matters, but this is a key one for UGA to smash those teams and slap the coat of paint off of their no longer new coaches. Either of them getting an upset over UGA might fuel their recruiting big time.
