How Do You Feel?

Can anyone honestly say that you feel worse about our future after the signing class we pulled today? Even though we lost a couple at the altar, and didn't close on a couple of hopefuls, I feel great.
All opinions welcome.

Feel really good about this class. Would I have liked to have had another linebacker or two, of course, but I think we addressed areas of need. I'm excited about next year and the future of Tennessee football.

I was feeling pretty good, and then we got McNeil, and then we got Patterson and then we got Borque! Sounds like a great day to me! GBO! VFL!

I felt better as the day went along. I was pumped for NSD all week until Peters left because it just left a gaping hole in our class. I really hope we stick at 21, next year is our year to do damage and not get negative recruited to death December and January. We graded out well at WR, DL, and DB. I am not as high on Bourque as others, and don't see him as an every down guy, I'm not high on any of the RB's, especially when you see UGA pull in 2 top 10 guys. But it's a step in the right direction. We still have dead weight on this team, this recruiting class ensures those guys who were forced to play last year, won't have to play this year. Everytime I watch that Joe Adams PR against us I look and see stiff after stiff, this recuiting class ensures we have better quality right now on teams.

Thrilled with the class. If peters and santos had stuck it would have been a complete home run class. With all we went through during the recruiting season, it's a minor miracle we finished like this and I am very proud of CDD and the staff!

I think we filled our needs, and that's what recruiting is about. And we turned a likely 2012 strength -- our wide receivers -- into a nuclear strike force.

Got to win next year more than we lose or the situation, if Dooley survives will be worse. I believe the talent is there to win 8 games or more, with good health.

I feel really excited about this class. I know that we have lost some LB's but we have redshirt Harris and Propst that can play. Offense is going to be amazing and the def backs will be very good.
GBO!!!.

Not sure what this has to do with my comment, but...
1. Dooley will be here next year if he wins more than 6 games
2. He will win more than 6 games
3. He will win more than 8 games.
4. + a bowl game
How's that for a prediction?

I think Dooley did a great job given the circumstances. VERY happy to get some DTs.

Seems like we always have bumps in the road, but when the hay was in the barn it was a nice haul. I believe we are a much better team today than we were yesterday.
keys, we will never be in a situation where we are not covered with injury at a skill position, we want see a lost look like loosing J. Hunter moving forward.
I feel we have a plan, it is in motion and we are following the plan. We have some changes in the leadership CSS is key field general and we are going forward.
It is a great day to be a VOL.
side note arky is now a hair below bammer in my book and they can pound sand. karma is a B@#%H.
