Hope South Carolina enjoys their success while it lasts. I'm predicting 8 or 9 wins for the Vols this year with next year having the greatest chance for the Vols to win the East and hopefully the SEC Championship to return to a BCS Bowl game!
ChattaVol, I agree 100%. Bama, FL, SC, etc. better get their W's in this year b/c the Vols are coming back better than ever with Dooley coaching & noone will be able to stop us once we get started. Go VOLS!!!!!!!!
Good luck to the SEC!!
