Close is for losers.. Them nikkas been close to beatin florida the last 13 years . Sec east is trash and your boys are part of the reason why. Hurd that nikka not making all sec again, neither is that trash Dobbs. Talent just aint there.

You sound scared.

Hope you don't make the playoffs this year. Cause yall would get embrassed by Tennessee.

 

[Swagnificent]

So they are the champions of close? That team has no pedigree.

What says they make it all happen when they haven't before. Butch is going to become a closer based on what?

No. Typically when you see a young talented team lose close games one year. They usually win them the following year.

I'd rather be a team like Tennessee from 2015 vs Florida from 2015 can't anyone with a straight face claim Florida was better team when you look at whole body of work. Them fluke ass 9-7 wins vs Vandy and OT wins vs FAU mask the problems the same way them bullshyt 11-2 2011 Michigan seasons and 11-2 2012 Florida seasons mask the real about those teams we know what happened the following years. Tennessee was a top 10 team at the end of last season if you look at things objectively. Only teams I'd favored over Tennessee on a neutral field at bowl time would've been Bama,Clemson,Ohio St,Stanford and maybe Ole Piss them fluke losses to Oklahoma and Florida gonna make Tennessee stronger.

I've seen this Tennessee story before when a team loses games they should've won but they comeback the following year and make the jump.

One example of a team having hard luck was the 2010 Clemson Tigers who lost 5 games by 6 points or less including OT loss at eventual national champ Auburn and last second loss at FSU on a FG from 60 yards out. 2011 team came back and was in the top 6 most of the year until falling apart down the stretch but they did win the ACC championship.

The 1999 Oklahoma Sooners were a team that blew 3 score leads in back to back weeks at ND and vs Texas and then lost its bowl game on a last second FG. They returned an army of young starters and went on to win the NC the following year.

Ohio St fans should know better than anyone about making the jump after losing some heartbreaking losses. Like the 2001 Bucks they lost 4 games by a touchdown or less including 3 vs top 15 teams. They brought back a lot of talent and added a 5 star in Maurice Clarett and the close losses went in reverse for OSU the following season as they won 7 games in total and there final 4 games by touchdown or less to become first team to go 14-0 in 2002.

For all the Tennessee cracks and jokes I gotta side with @Swagnificent on his belief in Tennessee this season. You factor in when and how these losses occurred I say the one game you can say Tennessee was outplayed the majority of the games they were due to youth and bad playcalling (Oklahoma,Florida) Tennessee is there. They have a sweet setup schedule wise and they have the benefit of losing no one of note to the NFL Tennessee is primed to be a top 5-10 contender for the entire season.

Great post.

I think everyone here knows Tennessee is gonna be a problem next year.

They just don't like me so they're gonna talk shyt till they can't anymore.

Remember the GAME CONTROL stat that was all the rage in 2014?

Well Reece Davis said something interesting last year at the playoff reveal show that was kinda forgotten.

He said the top 4 teams at GAME CONTROL for the 2015 season were:

1. Clemson
2. Alabama
3. Oklahoma

and.....

4. Tennessee

3 playoff teams and a 4 loss team led the nation in game control.

That right there should let folks know what you're saying aint not lie.

Tennessee was legitimately a great team last year. They just had the breaks go against them. Usually stuff like that evens out.

"Puts on straight face" id take a UF team every year over a Tennessee team. There's a reason Florida smack em every year. There's a reason the Vols never win the weak ass sec east.


On your Ohio St point. That 2001 season was Coach Tress 1st year, the program was going through a major change. Year 2 he won the chip. Far different situation than Tennessee shyttin the bed. Tennessee just not talented. There's a talent problem if you year after year cant win your division. @Swagnificent be pumpin these bums up. Dobbs not all sec in a conf where qb wasnt a strong position. Not gonna shyt on Hurd I actually like his game. He was just over shadowed by a lot better backs in the conference. Them bum ass 6 nfl wide recievers is trash. That 5* DT tackle he made that thread about was just awlful. Didnt even start. Just got pushed back everytime he touched the field. Team aint that talented @no1es run this
run this. On top of all that, they got a coach who shyts the bed too.

Well the reason Florida has smacked them around for a decade is because Florida recruited better. You should know this as a Ohio State fan. If you can't win on signing day, highly unlikely you win in the fall.

The difference now is Tennessee has outrecruited Florida 2 of the last 3 years. (with last year being essentially a tie).

Those back to back top 5 classes that will be juniors and sophomores this season is why I'm not worried about Florida.

Dobbs may not be all-sec but he is considered by some as a top QB prospect in the 2017 NFL draft.

Here is a draft expert on NFL.com listing him behind Deshaun Watson and Josh Rosen as the best pro QB prospect in college right now: Next men up: Top QB talents in the CFB pipeline

I'll take NFL potential over college award anyday.

Hurd didn't make All-SEC because those awards are stat based and Tennessee didn't have the best o-line last year. Lots of true freshmen and sophomores started because the talent of the upperclassmen was so bad. Once again this is why recruiting matters.

And on young Kahlil McKenzie, he was a true freshmen. Go look up the stats of other 5 star DTs like UGA'sTrent Thompson. They were very similar. Usually it takes DTs a lil longer to get accilimated to the college system. Just like o-lineman. He'll be ready to show out this year.

Tennessee has talent. You might wanna deny it. But pro scouts are taking notice.

We'll be to the 2017 and 2018 draft what yall were in 2016 and what FSU was in 2014 and 2015.

Miami/FSU should be 1st/2nd week of October when ESPN whored us out for those Labor Day games back in day the scheduling been all messed up.

FSU/Clemson should be in November.

A lot of the ACC rivalries don't really exist like they used to do to expansion who's Louisville rival supposed to be?

Nah Tennessee talent level was straight trash they remind me of how bad FSU was at certain spots before Jimbo was able to get some studs in here. I like looking at the drafts to see what really good with most programs. For instance watching Driskel and Brissett go in the NFL draft confirms my stance on how trash Muschump was when it came to how he handled the offense at Florida. Gator fans kept saying the talent was bare and blaming Urban but pretty much everyone from the 2012 offense made the league at the skill positions including an all-pro caliber Jordan Reed who converted from QB.

Tennessee hasn't produced much of anything outside of some WR's from back in 2012 when they had Hunter and Patterson and they not exactly setting the world on fire at the next level. Botch Jones came into a situation with pretty much nothing to work with as far as upperclassmen. They didn't even have many eligible players to be drafted this year Tennessee is loaded they remind of FSU's 2011 and 2012 rosters young,talented and a chance to really take that jump.

FSU lost games like Wake and UVA in 2011 if we posting on here and yall saw me hyping FSU talent up the following year yall been clowning my ass too.


Schools can take the jump after being trash for so long I don't question the talent at Tennessee I just question Botch Jones not letting situations get the best of him but I had those same thoughts with Jimbo his first 3 years as HC he was a master of panic in a few spots he learned.

There is levels and degrees. I fully think they are the favorite so win the SEC East. I think saying they are a presumptive CFP Playoff team is a stretch. They have zero pedigree in recent memory for that. I would say the same about UGA next year so it's not hating.
