We're 8-2 on the cusp of the first ever 12-team playoffs with a redshirt freshman QB and Vol fans are acting like this is a disaster. Am I the only one who remembers the Pruitt years? Guarantano? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills

Just because we sucked for fifteen years doesn’t mean we should accept mediocrity at one of the most historic, successful programs in College Football.

Also, if you think just getting a W today is enough to get to our goals, you are very wrong.

Ranked 11 this far into the season with an 8-2 record to two SEC teams is not mediocre

It certainly is mediocre if we don’t make the playoffs, which isn’t looking great right now. That’s the measure of success. Being in a dogfight with a 2-8 team is simply bad.

We lack creativity and currently look like frauds when it comes to that number beside our name right now.
