21st Century Pleasure and Pain Index

Dear AD Hamilton

Our family has compiled this experience of Tennessee Football since 2000 as a guide for you to review performance of this coaching staff

What we expect is a program with more positive pleasure inducing experiences than depressing painful experiences.

If we had mood rings while watching the UT Football team this century this would be the result
Blue is depressing
Red is Anger
Black in neutral or mildly happy
Orange is Euphoric
Unlisted games were expected wins like Vandy, Miss St, Ol Miss, Ky and cupcakes

The 13/22 column next to scores is the Vol/opponent AP ranking

2007 FLORIDA Gainesville CBS 3/22 HUGE DEPRESSING LOSS 59 TO 20

2007 ALABAMA Tuscaloosa CBS --/20 HUGE DEPRESSING LOSS 41 TO 17

NINE GAMES in ORANGE = Euphoria Inducing
EXCELLENT PERFOMANCE

FOURTEEN GAMES in BLACK = Expected Outcome EXPECTED PERFORMANCE

EIGHTEEN GAMES IN BLUE = Depression - poor play in loss or win
DEPRESSING PERFORMANCE

THIRTEEN GAMES IN RED = ANGER - seriously inept execution
MISERABLE PERFORMANCE

Thirty-one game day experience this century have been depressing or anger inducing.

Fifteen important games resulted in expected outcomes.

Nine games resulted in BIG ORANGE EUPHORIA due to an excellent win

Ending up expected or euphoric experiences total 24 times

Depression and Anger total 31 times.

This ratio of disappointments (anger and depression) to elation is 31 to 9
a 3 to 1 chance that were disappointed at the end of watching an important UT Football game and that ration of satisfaction to disappointment is unacceptable
