the league was way weaker back in 2000-2004. past few years Tennessee played one of the most brutal conference + ooc schedules in the nation.
here is another suckage

in 1997-2006 10 year period Alabama suffered multiple 3 and 4 win seasons. I wonder what 3, 4 win season feels like.

3 and 4? What about 3/4?

Probation will do that to you. What's your excuse? Despite all that suckage we still had multiple 10-win seasons during that same time period. And as bad as we were we never had back-to-back losing seasons. You're currently staring #4 in a row in the face unless there is a massive turnaround.
I personally find it sad that you Tennessee fans have fallen so far that you have reduced yourselves to comparing losing seasons. "Oh…well…we've never lost 8 games in a season before!" Pathetic.

I don't remember, but I do remember what 3 NCs in 4 years feels like.

From 2008-20012, Tennessee's SEC opponents had a .624 win percentage. From 2000-2004, Alabama's SEC opponents had a .591 win percentage. "Way weaker" is a stretch.

So? Alabama's was tougher.
From 2000-2004, Alabama's FBS opponents were 439-298 (.596). From 2008-2012, Tennessee's FBS opponents were 434-324 (.573). Also, Tennessee played three FCS teams; Alabama only played one.
Few teams blew Alabama out of the water during a game. LSU was the only team to beat them by 20+ points. Meanwhile, Tennessee's been waxed 13 times by 20+ points in the last five years.

The same as 5-7 seasons. No bowl. Abstractly, what's the difference between a 3-9 team and a 5-7 team? They both blow. You're trying to split a lot of hairs to make a pretty empty point.
Fact is, Alabama, weakened primarily by substantial NCAA penalties, was a better program at the turn of the century than Tennessee, a program that has utterly eaten itself, is now.
