8. Confidence

Know what you have when you’ve energized the fanbase thanks to a dynamic postseason win? When your top-five-recruiting ways show no signs of relenting? When your team is united as one and has made it clear to the world that a new era has officially begun? An era in which you have a proven and athletic quarterback leading the charge? An era in which bowl committees jones to have you and your legion of fans participate in their contest?
CONFIDENCE.
Which has been missing around these parts for far too long. The Vols are feeling good about themselves. And rightfully so.

While, I definately feel good about the way the season ended, and the direction I believe the program is going, I’m going to hold off a little longer proclaiming the program back.
I too remember the jubilation of the SugarVols, and the momentum that we were supposedly riding but I also remember what a flop the 1986 team was. I’m sure Oklahoma felt they were back after laying it to Bama last year. I also remember thinking we turned the corner after 1979 Notre Dame and 1982 Alabama games.
One of the reasons for my caution is still lack of experienced depth. I can’t imagine we will be as lucky as Ohio State next year if Dobbs goes down.
I’m not trying to be negative at all, I just prefer to say ” so far so good” at this time.
Vols are my team have since 1978 go vols I’m die hard fan win or lose I’m a vol. Butch will show he’s the man for big orange!
