2016 Schedule

Your setting yourself up for great disappointment again next year. If this shit fest is still around of course.

 

Hope for a major change at the end of the season then. It's all you got here.

 

Which is why I think we have a solid year, despite Jones. The talent is on the field. With respectable OL improvement (tough, I know), we should achieve no less than double-digit wins. Does FL improve next year?

 

Was my first thought.

 

Just don't see how anyone expects him to not be wound tight in a made for tv game that I'm guessing will be ABC primetime.

 

Yep
3-4 1-3 SEC
numbers don't lie

 

The only way that I could possibly give less shits about what anyone on Rocky Top Talk thinks, says, believes, hopes, etc., is if someone asked me how many shits I give about you, or what you believe, hope, etc.

 

You're just suffering with group-think.

I'd advise you to go over to Rocky Top Talk, belly up to the bar of reason, and get you a tall glass of objectivity.

 

Excellent point.

 

exactly. we don't want kids born too soon in their eligibility.

 

Good point.

 

I like the non-conference home games: Ohio, TnTech, and Appy State. Really giving the season tix holders' their money's worth.

Anyone in the AD who brings up entertainment tax should be fired; people willing to pay $65 will happily pay $70.

 

If Scott Loeffler is still the OC, 0% chance we lose.

 

This is exactly how I see it playing out or something very close. You nailed it, on it being his best year/team. I think the recruiting slacks off starting this year and continues after continuing to prove he can't coach.

 

This thread needs pinned, so when some some folks get to swimming in the kool aid next August they can look back at what they thought when they were sober.
8-4 - Losses to bammer, aTm, UF, and one of Mizzou, UGA, VaTech

I could see them possibly dropping two (or all three, but really doubt it) of that last group as well.

 

Roughly zero people here will be drinking the koolaid going into next year.

 

Maybe. It seems to happen to some folks every year. I'm can't name names nor will I any further than to say it could happen to anyone.

 

I'll be drinking the flavor aide for sure. It's a summer beverage

 

Beat VT? Hell, We only have 2 players on the whole team that have been seen a race track. None of them have played in front of more that 105K.

 

Stating what expectations should be (9-3 this year) isn't "swimming in kool-aid".

The roster doesn't lie. This is an, at worst 9-3 team. Butch sucks, so it's a 7-5 team.

The 2016 season should be 9-3 or 10-2. That's not "kool-aid" that's what should happen. If it doesn't, get new coaches
