Isn't this G Kings like 7th or 8th year at TN? Didn't he come in with the 2007 or 2008 class? He must have won some appeals with the NCAA or something. He was here before Kiffin showed up. He has always been injured, every year. |

King was in Kiffin's first signing class, I think. Played pretty well as a freshman but has more or less disappeared since. |

He has been side tracked by injuries and minor surgeries for most of his career. Last season he was as close to being healthy as at any time during his career. If you remember, they even tried him as a tight end when Downs got hurt and Meredith couldn't shake off the hamstring problem. He has hung in there despite the disappointments and here's hoping that by September he has, at least, become a viable reserve at one of the linebacker positions. |

That would almost be a miracle at this point, but I wish he would contribute in his last year too. |

Aub and Vandy will be tough for this team. Aub is more talented than we are and Vandy is just as talented if not more talented than we are. Out of the last 5, we may beat Mizzou. Oregon and Bammer will be kills. We will be big under dogs to USC, UGA and Florida. I think we will struggle to get six wins. Our 2013 offense could be as bad as our 2012 defense. If this year's team gets down 14 pts, I have trouble seeing how we can catch up. |

I think 6 wins would be a huge accomplishment as well, but you know...it's only June. Who knows what's going to happen this season, to be honest. Some of these teams we think are going to be good, will end up sucking nuts. Some of the teams we think will be horrible will end up being beasts. With UT being such an unknown quantity at this point, well...really difficult to even guess. Low of 3 wins, high of 8 is my guess. 6 is in the middle so I'm going with that. |

We have all known for some time that this recruiting cycle was a perfect storm waiting to happen, lots of legacies and a much higher quality of in state talent than we typically see. I still say, though: Butch is a good football coach. In some ways I'm really starting to think the guy is a comination of the GOOD aspects of our last three coaches (i.e. Fulmer's ability to recruit & rub elbows with the southern good 'ole boys, Kiffin's ability to actually coach & run a practice, and Dooley's attention to detail) without the baggage...and, hopefully, he's actually a good game day coach (something we just havent had since Majors, and even he had several brain fart days against 'Bama). He's on a roll right now. He's going to have to pull off an upset of SOMEONE this year to keep the momentum going, though. |
