Read “Orange Crushed”
This book was about the terrible season in 2005 when the Volunteers never made it to a bowl game. It was a season that was expected to end with a birth in one of the BCS bowl games with a strong possibility of playing for the national championship. At the beginning of the season, the Vols were ranked 3rd in most magazines. The book was originally started to document the victorious season, but ended up discussing the downfallof the powerhouse. The book is an interesting read as it details a inside look into the malfunctions with the team. There was a controversy about the quarterback, there was discipline problems with the players, and maybe too much confidence which lead to a lack of focus on practice. It is a great read for a true Vol fan, it is not about the high but a low in the program. Hopefully, this season will hold a bright future as the team completes for another national title. Mostly I want to see the Tide lose, too bad Sonny, Dale, Bobby, and Leon, there will be tears this year on October 25 I believe. So far, the Vols recruiting is strong this year and there are a ton of play-makers returning too. The starting quarterback looks to be strong as well.

The Tide will Rise
….after all, we have no where else to go lately.
Last year the tide rolled all over the Vols, the year before that I watched Vols beat down the Tide. This year will be another big win on that 3rd week of October.
Yes there will tears. There always are, but My brother they will not be in tide town. NOOOOOO sir, they will be in the orange crush community. We too have had a banner recruiting year. We are going to rock on top of old rocky and roll tide roll. What’s that old dogs name, old yeller??? he/she is going to be howling sad tunes to the moon. I can’t wait.
