looks good the vols play a lot of hard teams like usual in the sec and the vols play ucla at home so they have there chance at revenge.

Looks like UT has a favorable schedule for Kiffin's first year. They should be back to SEC East contention....

You better throw UK in there. They scare me.

I had no idea the Bammers invited livestock to their games?

Well, we have our normal tough schedule. Kiffen and Kiffen have been busy putting a top notch staff together and bringing in pretty good talent for the team. My biggest worry as far as the team this year will be at QB again. At one point in the off season Lane made the statement that he was satisfied with his options at QB right now. So he apparently feels Tennessee's woe's at QB last year was more a result of bad coaching than having 2 or 3 bad QB's. And that is an argument I am willing to accept right now. Nick S. is still our best option right now I think. It will be interesting to see who starts and how well he does. I cant wait, isnt it football time in Tennessee yet. Last year most of Tennessee's fans couldnt wait for it all to end, now we are fired up about football again. VOLS RULE!!!!!

The real problem with Fulmer & his crew was their lack of ability to develop talent......Fulmer's qbs were good for a time though. Why? Recall ever resurgence Fulmer had what one coach always made his return to the staff. One guy made Fulmer, Cutlcliffe! I say if Kiffin feels 'satisified' w/ his qb, then let him be! Hell, this is going to be a rebuilding season & we might win 7 games & could even beat a couple of ranked opponents. Let the man coach. Our followers sat back while complacently satisfied w/ likes of Fulmer & his GOB staff........Times are a changing & very soon the Bammers will be looking back on those losses in 2008 more and more......I can't freakin' wait!!

I agree, Cutt was a top quality coach and I look for him to do well at his new school. I also agree we are in the midst of rebuilding, and it will take some time to get everything going. Lane has been a man on a mission since he came to Knox. Doesnt seem to be intimidated by anyone, coaches or players. Something else about him I like that we havent had in Knox for years, and thats attitude at the very top of the program. He is a cocky little feller. Seems to like φφφφing other coaches and teams off and Lane hasnt put his first SEC team on the field yet, I like him!VOLS RULE!!!!!

This will be one of those seasons where we will be on uncharted waters. The team many very well not gel until later in the season or next season. One thing is certain, I am thrilled with the new coaching staff!

Im thinkin possitive and lookin for a good season, but at the same time I wont be getting my hopes up to much.

I would say if they can win 7 games with a win over a ranked opponent they will be doing very well.

It was just Western Kentuky but I liked what I saw out of the run game, Defense, and j.Crompton yesterday after winning 63-7 and 657 total yards!!!

Bamma looked impressive but UGA did not. It will be interesting.
