All this optimism for the UT FB team is certainly better than what we've heard the last few several years. But I'm afraid that this just stokes the over-expectations of the Vols faithful. And band wagoneers.

But, better to be talked about positively than the dreary reports of the recent past.

Well played sir.   

It has been in fact, way too long, and it's easy to forget just how long.
