They do, but UT's facilities are on another level than USCe. You should check them out online.
Do you know anything about USC's facilities?
I'm just curious. I feel like people make these statements based on assumptions, myself included.

Tennessee is an ugly campus but the climate and area around K-ville is beautiful. I'd go there
Agreed, Kville is a dump IMO, and UTK seems like a depressing mining town that is on its last gasp, but the surrounding area puts it over USCe, for me.

I picked UT over USCe, dont go and compare UT to Alabama now...

I think Alabama has more in-state talent than Tennessee does.
It used to be Alabama in a landslide but Tennessee is catching up quickly.
From 2008-2012, Alabama had 42 top250 players while Tennessee only had 15.
From 2013-2015, Alabama has had 31, while Tennessee has 23.
The middle TN population boom is real.

I'm stunned. Purely stunned.

Good to know. I've always liked the Vols in the East. It would benefit the conference if you guys get back on track.

If you think Columbia is a great place, you just simply haven't been to that many other places.

Well, If I coach at SC, at least I'll get a trip to a bowl game, at tennessee...not so much.

Tennessee, so I wouldn't have to play Texas A&M every year.

I disagree with facilities rankings by ESPN. Even after Bama and LSU's recent renovation UT should be top 2. UT was always the nationwide leader in facilities since decades ago. I remeber when Kiffin first came to UT in 2009 and said he was blown away by the facilities.

ummmmm...no they don't. Just because they had 2 stars in Clwoney and Lattimore recently, doesn't mean that their talent overall has been better.
The past 4 recruiting cycles is as follows:
SC- 26 4 and 5* players
TN- 40 4 and 5* players
The population growth in TN (especially Nashville and Central TN) is really helping TN talent. Plus, you don't have to worry about sharing it now that Vandy is terrible. USCe still has to share with Clemson who has much better facilities.
Also looking at 247 2015 recruits...
Tenn...12 - 4* players & 44 - 3* or better players
S.Car.. 5 - 4* players & 29 - 3* or better players

I would pick USCe if I don't have to follow Spurrier.
I mean, the coach or two after him is going to go through hell. Those fans had their overall expectations raised and I know from experience it can take more than one coaching cycle (and non-bowl season) to pull those expectations back to the mean.
Pre-Spurrier or like two coaches after Spurrier I would love the job. Loyal fans, great golf and a pretty decent recruiting area. Much better than playing Bama every year (dammit Aggy there is that Bama worship again...).

UT just dropped 110 Million or something ridiculous on new facilities. Second only to Oregon, IMO. USC's might be nice (I don't know), but there's no way they touch ours

I will take either. By the way, someone mentioned the river for UT, the Congaree River runs right through downtown Columbia.

They do. However, they have to share it with Auburn. Plus, UT is closer to NC and VA than Bama is. A good, elite recruiter could pull in talent from there.
