Man they should be good this year! 11-1 possible but 10-2 likely

[@GingerVolBall]

Love the TN coverage! GO BIG ORANGE! And it's EE-uh-mah-lay-AH-vuh (Iamaleava). 🧡

Go Vols

[@greenwave819]

TN's sched draw does inclued OU on the road and Bama + UGA... so yeah it's harder than most

[@willcampbell2485]

But not harder than most in the SEC

[@KALENGBO]

Schedule is middle if the road in difficulty. I think Gumps go down again in Knoxville, they've gotten over the mental part of beating Gumps. Now let's beat GA.

[@elijahdax]

they play bama and georgia every single year anyways

[@willcampbell2485]

I just can’t see a world in which Nico is worse than Milton. I also can’t see a world in which our receivers/OLine is worse. That means that our offense is essentially guaranteed to be better. It’s all up to the defense

[@ctbspiffy423]

and we finally got a schedule we can control lol we use to playing damn near every sec power house year in and year out

[@willcampbell2485]

@@ctbspiffy423 yeah for real

[@huntercondra1113]

I can’t see a world where we don’t have a top 10 front 7 on defense

[@willcampbell2485]

@@huntercondra1113 I agree, but a front seven isn’t any good with no secondary to back them up

[@KALENGBO]

DB room amd RB room is only concerns. TN has elite DLine to help the DBs. Easier to cover fir less than 5 seconds. Pass rush will be getting home quickly and even if Pearce Jr is doubled or chipped that opens the door for Amy of the others.

[@rockytoptom]

I would love some OL depth but yea, the DBs need to stay healthy just like Nico and the OL do. Keep them fingers crossed brother

[@KALENGBO]

@rockytoptom OLine has some depth just very young depth. Hopefully we don't face teams that playnlike Akron in 2022 that dive for knees after we pay them a ton of money to come to Knoxville

Come on guys, how do you still not know how to say Iamaleava? I think you said "I'm a lee ava" 😂

[@willcampbell2485]

“Lamalaeva”😂

Leave straight to the NFL 1st round.

[@etw4life970]

@ProblemChild615 sorry was that your impression of how they said it or how you think it should be said?

[@willcampbell2485]

@@ProblemChild615 Accent on the E and the Ma. Eeuh- Malay - AhVuh. The way you grouped the letters was confusing

[@rockytoptom]

Nico EEEEYA MAL EEE AHVA (like lava without the "L") WHY is it so hard? If you can't pronounce it correctly, just say Nico.. 11 - 1 sounds about right. SEC title. Natty. That feels right
