2nd chance: Predict the "Mighty" Vols record

I will go with the 2-10 record as well. They are terrible. Couldn’t happen to a better group of fans.

I think the Vols will beat Chattanooga, UAB, and Kentucky (signature win). It’s too early to panic, UT could possibly win four games.

The Vols gave up more points to Georgia State than Vanderbilt gave up to Georgia.

GSU only won two games last year. They must have recruited really well and hit the weight room hard in the off season. They were picked to finish last in their conference this year. I don’t know where Georgia State is or what their mascot is, or what conference they play in. I’m just glad they are not on our schedule. We may have to face them in the playoffs. I’d rather face Clemson.

Georgia State May be the best team in the history of college football. We’ll see.

Losing that game yesterday is indicative of some serious issues going on inside that locker room. Yes, I agree, it is the kind of loss that can ruin a season. However, when you look around the East division, you see Missouri and South Carolina losing non-conference games they were favored in, and Vandy looks like they are the usual Vandy. I think all three of those games are toss ups, and Tennessee probably still beats UAB and Chattanooga. The floor is probably 2-10, and the ceiling is probably no better than 5-7. Not the kind of year Pruitt needed in his second year.

I still believe two things - Pruitt wasn't ready for a SEC head coaching position and Tennessee was not the place for him. But I guess he's living his dream!

They are ready to fire Pruitt after yesterday...……….if he has a losing season this year, I could see them pulling the plug on him. Many of their fans are mad that Mike Leach wasn't hired, but nothing says he would have taken that job

Once he gets fired he can come home as a consultant and let UT pay him just like Butch! RTR

I would take him back as long as he repented of his sins and burned every piece of orange clothing he and his family have. Seriously, when he took that job it was like watching someone flush their career down the toilet in real time.

I don't know if I would allow him back on campus. Let him go to SA or UAB or some other school down the road.

Saban has given coaches second chances as well as players, so you never know...………….he is a good defensive coach

I don’t see Pruitt surviving this loss. Tennessee is going to have to learn that hiring an Alabama assistant coach for your head coach doesn’t make you world beaters.

Also, I wonder if this will cool their love affair with the Donut King.

They'll beat Sakerlina, Messchamp just lost to Mack Brown WITHOUT Colt.

Is Colt back this week?

Re: 2nd chance: Predict the "Mighty" Vols record

As Uncle Jed would say, "pitiful, pitful." I agree it is to early to panic BUT …… for goodness sake, we are talking about the bottom feeder of the Sun Belt. BOTTOM FEEDER. I would understand it if Arky St or Appl St had beaten them. BUT THE BOTTOM FEEDER. I take it back: It is time to hit the PANIC BUTTON.

Re: 2nd chance: Predict the "Mighty" Vols record

We need to start the rumor that Bill Battle and Ole Phil are in cahoots to get even with Tenn for firing them. LOL.

I doubt that they will fall out of love with him. The ones I knew when I lived there were so excited about his return. They really thought football glory was coming back.

I hate just about all of their fan base. Very few of them think rationally and even those people took a while to come to grips about their status in today’s football landscape.

The way they played Saturday, they might not beat Chattanooga. 0-12 sounds good to me.

Re: 2nd chance: Predict the "Mighty" Vols record

I have a hard time going to Home Depot and I don’t use our orange cereal bowl for breakfast. Does this say anything about my depth of feeling for the TN fans? You be the judge. 2 wins sounds about right.

Re: 2nd chance: Predict the "Mighty" Vols record

They will come closer to beating SC than MSU. They play UGA the week prior while MSU has a bye. I don't think they win either one.
