and it still gives me chills....but I can't help but think about this: Some of those same fans wanting to "high five" Worley yesterday were the same fans booing him a few weeks ago. This is the exact reason I NEVER, EVER boo our own players. I was upset with his lack of play, I was calling to try another QB...BUT I never ever booed him, nor would I ever boo one of my own players. This is just me.
This young and undermanned team has progressed week to week -- they still are making mistakes, they still are having a bad quarter (3rd to be exact) -- but we as fans, well us realistic fans, knew going into this season we were NOT going to be a very good team. We don't have the SEC level talent, we don't have the depth.
But guess what? They are getting better -- you could FEEL it yesterday...they were confident, they were energized, they KNEW they could win that game. The UGA game did a lot, I think, to prove to these kids they can compete if they give it their all. Yesterday, they KNEW they could complete -- and they pulled out the win. Is it due to Butch Jones and staff? ABSOLUTELY -- you just have to compare this team to last years team and there is no comparison...even though most of the players are the same. What a HUGE difference a year can make with a real leader and a great staff!!!
I am so damn excited about the future for the Tennessee Vols! I can't wait to see what Butch can do with a couple of years of his recruits in here......THE TENNESSEE VOLS ARE BACK!!!! WOOOO!!!
