There are probably eight games this team should be favored in: NC State, Ga. State, Akron, at Miss. State, Troy, home for Mizzou, at Vandy and Kentucky. I'd put at MSU on the border. Then again, they're host to a Florida team that is rebuilding. If Dooley doesn't get the Vols to eight wins this season, I've heard from people around that program who say he'll be gone. Winning eight or nine games with their experience and talent against this schedule, where they probably face only three legit Top 20 teams (at UGA, Alabama and at South Carolina), is realistic. The Vols can win nine games this year without beating a ranked team.

They are a more talented team than NC State. The Vols should win that game. They host a Florida team that was horrible on offense last year. Beating these Gators won't be as impressive nationally as it would've been knocking off some of Urban Meyer's tougher squads, but at least locally beating UF will resonate. If UT loses that game, it'll be almost impossible for Dooley to keep things together.

Question for Volvulus, AV or anyone that have knowledge---

Has there been any estimates on just how much money the Tennessee athletics departments will save by streamlining and combining the men's and women's departments under the Dave Hart umbrella? I would imagine that the savings are going to be very significant.

Chris Nee at rivals reporting that UT has offered McKensie Alexander's twin brother McKenro Alexander. McKensie was a former CB commitment and a high 4 star CB. McKenro is a 3 star safety prospect.

Smart move. McKenro himself has decent offers, including one from Oklahoma.

fess up, which one of you is this

Ohio State reports 46 secondary violations

FLAVOLS — Fri, 18 May 2012 15:54:46 GMT

Could you imagine the uproar by the reds here if that happened.

Granted it wasn't just the football team (21 sports involved I believe), but Damn! The idiots around here were having coronaries over a handful of these.

http://m.espn.go.com/ncf/story?storyId=7945189

Quote:

Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer and athletic director Gene Smith acknowledged having committed secondary NCAA violations in recent months, according to a report in The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer.

The ancillary errors by Meyer and Smith are part of 46 secondary violations in 21 Ohio State sports reported since last May 30. The Plain Dealer obtained the list of violations through an open records request.

Meyer is reported to have said "good luck" to football recruit Noah Spence at a Dec. 16 high school game, violating NCAA rules prohibiting direct contact with recruits during competition. Spence, the nation's No. 4 recruit overall and No. 2-rated defensive end in the ESPNU 150, committed to Ohio State during an official visit to campus days after the game and signed with the Buckeyes in February.

Ohio State learned of the contact through a newspaper photo that showed Meyer apparently talking to Spence. Meyer informed Ohio State of the contact two days after the game.

"I went to say 'hello' and 'good luck' to his coach and as I was walking off the field Noah said, 'hello,' and I said 'good luck,' before the game," Meyer wrote in a text message to The Plain Dealer. "Nothing more. Nothing to hide. All good."

Do You Think Dooley

Carl Pickens — Fri, 18 May 2012 14:28:00 GMT

will channel Gary Sinese and lead the team on an early morning run to an old Civil War cemetary outside Johnson City like in "Remember the Titans"? Strong side! Left side!

Who is the heir apparent at QB?

Barring injury, Bray should capably man the position for the next two years. Hopefully Peterman redshirts this season. In 2014, Worley will be a senior, and Peterman will be a redshirt sophomore. Can Peterman pass Worley on the depth chart? I like both of those guys. I haven't seen much of Peterman, but physically he would appear to have an edge. That being said, I think Worley can be highly effective in an offense adapted to his talents.
