“He is a force to be reckoned with in the East and ultimately the SEC as a whole.”

I know I get my jollies with the Daily Gator posts, but at least I’m making fun of Florida fans (who, to be fair, remind me of Georgia fans in past years).

When it comes to delusion, Tennessee appears to be eliminating the middle man.

This comes from a writer who appears to be affiliated in some form or fashion with USA Today.  He is all freaking in on a “The Vols are back, baby!” narrative.  His expert to bolster that?  A former player of Pruitt’s.

He’s just getting warmed up, though.  Here’s his column predicting the outcome of Tennessee’s 2020 season, again, with the same expert support.  If you don’t want to listen to the podcast for the gory details (and you really should, if you are in need of a chuckle this morning), here’s how he breaks it down:

• Charlotte 38-6 W
  @Oklahoma 23-31 L
  Furman 56-3 W
  Florida 30-17 W
  Missouri 44-16 W
  @ SCAR 37-14 W
  BYE
  Alabama 13-16 L
  @Arkansas 40-13 W
  Kentucky 34-17 W
  @Georgia 27-20 W
  Troy 42-13 W
  @Vanderbilt 44-15 W

Presumably, UT gets its revenge against ‘Bama in the SECCG, because, why not?

(By the way, Georgia didn’t give up more than 20 points in regular season conference play in 2019, but the Urnge, which averaged 20 ppg in conference play last season, is breaking that streak?  Against this year’s Georgia defense in particular?  Sure, dude.)

Oh, and bonus crazy points for this:

A schedule breakdown can also be listened to on a recent “Tennessee Two-A-Days” show co-hosted by Valdosta High School head coach Rush Propst, along with George Bates as a guest.

Good to see Propst, a well-known neutral observer when it comes to all things Pruitt, has time on his hands right now to tend to something like this.  Then again, we’ve always known he can multi-task.
