I've read the UT message boards. They'll say, "I'll expect us to beat Florida when I see it", but deep down you guys expect to win that game. Fans are funny that way.
This far out no one will take it for granted. As the game approaches fans will def. be like we can do this, we will do this, it's gonna happen. But a lot of ours are still like "believe it when I see it."

I miss the annual "this is the year" threads on Vol Nation.

VN may provide you with one this year but anymore the threads like that go like this: One optimist says 'this is the year/we have a chance' 30 pessimists tear into that poster with variations of 'are you crazy/we will never beat florida/stop embarrassing yourself' etc.
It's weird but Florida has a psychological hold on us no other team has as far as us being convinced we're doomed. We are convinced that it is impossible to win. IOW, if you put a bad HS team in UF jersey on gameday and an NFL team in UT jerseys the UF team would still win (and yes part of me believes that too).

I don't go there anymore. My sister used to post on there and I joined to troll her (without her knowing of course).

I usually stay out of the football forum there. When football season picks up, especially, every idiot on the planet shows up.
And damn, you trolled your own sister?

I think we prefer to be under the radar at this point with a new coach. There are plenty of positives, but some issues we have to clean up from the previous staff as well.
Hmmm, that kind of reads like, "We have absolutely no fricking clue."

Florida just isn't the program that they use to be. It's sad to see a team that use to be a dominant factor in the SEC just go to shite. Hopefully, their morale can be boosted, so they can show some competition this year.

Nothing. I was shocked, very amused, and frankly a little impressed.

You just pointed out the absolutely worst case scenario. I think most UF fans just want to see some competence on the offensive side of the ball and to win 2 of 3 out of UT, UGA, and FSU. It's definitely possible this upcoming season.

LSU gets to play a down UF while we have to face Tennessee. Scheduling so unfair.
I wouldn't call UT back yet, but it is funny how many people don't understand the UT/Bama history

I wasn't creating a scenario as much as giving the current perception and list some issues that contribute to the low expectations. Having said that, if UF beats 2/3 of UGA, UT, FSU, then I'd expect that Ole Miss, Missouri, LSU, South Carolina are also on the table. That puts you in the 8-10 win area and possibly contending for the east. Solely because of the coaching change, that's not my prediction, but I don't know enough to rule it out.

It really is. To be honest, people would enjoy our conference a lot more if they took the time to learn about and understand the histories between various schools. A major part of what makes this conference great is its history and the rivalries between teams.

I am firm believer UF could play the cheerleaders and still win. Until it happens on the field I don't believe it.

slam dunks are wins against
New Mexico State
East Carolina
Tennessee
UG
Florida Atlantic
Kentucky
Vandy
Toss ups are
LSU
Ole Miss
Missouri
Florida State
South Carolina
9-3 to 10-2 is possible. 8-4 maybe. Transition year, so showing progress is important.
