UT finally ranked again

This ain't 1994.... There isn't anyone on the schedule UT can afford to take lightly...

 

Forgive me for my floccinaucinihilipilification of a #25 ranking with this stacked of a team.

 

The big question mark is Fuente's impact, I think he's got potential to be really good but I'm not sure he's good enough to overcome the rather large talent deficit.

I listed the game as a toss-up but I'm kinda backing off on that. It isn't a true 50/50 game. UT could certainly lose the game but it's probably closer to a 70/30 game.

 

What's crazy is that record wise, we are right where most believed we would be, we could finish 9-4 and possibly in the top 15. I think most would think that is improvement, because it is, it's just being so damn close to being so much more that is frustrating.

We should be 10-2. No other way around it.

 

You're getting your money's worth out of that word of the day calendar.

 

The staff has left wins on the table every year here.

 

Yay! #25

Just as quick as lyle says we should be 10-2 I say that by the shortest curly we are 6-6. USC and UGA were absolute gifts.

 

****ing right I am.

 

True. We were as close to 6-6 as we were 10-2.

 

Tennessee has more talent hands down but that was true this year too still the results weren't there. VT recruiting class's rank the Top 20-30 but players tend to rise

I think Fuente's impact will be immediate. After Larry Porter's departure he had much less to work w/ in Memphis and made relatively quick end roads and of course Foster's D's are almost always nasty. Quite a formidable and talented duo

I think they surprise people in '16

 

Meh, he went 4-8 then 3-9 his first two years at Memphis State.

I think he is a good coach and will do very well at Tech, but I don't know if he'll rewrite the history books next year, as much as I joke about it.

 

Different circumstances. Porter, actually West (2-10 last yr) didn't do Porter any favors, but anyway Porter went what 1-11 and 2-10 before Fuente? VT is nowhere near that level of bad or talent depleted

 

Just read that his 10 win season was the first for Memphis since '38, 76 yrs, that's one helluva dry spell

 

Meh. Nothing done there will ever top Tommy West's presser on the way out the door.

 

That was a great moment, not just for West or Memphis football but football in general. However, some would argue November 09, 1996

 

That wasn't great for me.

 

And now we aren't ranked. That's odd.

 

Alvarez had to get those Badgers in at 25.

 

CFP final poll not out until 3pm.
