And meanwhile the Chief has been cranking out NFL linebackers at LSU.

True, but Memphis has always been more Ole Miss territory than UT territory.

I'm actually going by wins and losses here. If Tennessee has been such a great recruiter as of late, then why haven't y'all been winning?


No you weren't, you were talking about how no one wants to come to Knoxville or East TN, and how OM is easier to recruit to & the "Proof is in the pudding "

& You got arse raped and failed. Power down your computer and go kill yourself.

Tennessee leads the SEC in most NFL draftees in the last 20 years with 109 players. How many did Ole Miss have? like 5?

It is.

Y'all have the largest recruiting budget in the country, the largest stadium in the SEC, a recent national title, several successful NFL alumni, and several SEC titles, yet you pull in, on average, a class ranked right around #15. You have this idea that you're an elite program, but you largely don't recruit on an elite level. Alabama, LSU, Florida, and Georgia all consistently recruit better than Tennessee. shite, Auburn probably recruits better than the Vols if we're going by star counts, and South Carolina has been much better over the past few years too.

You have all the makings of being a top-tier program as far as talent goes, but you're not. Why do you think that is? (Here's a clue: It might have something to do with your dumbass athletics department and Knoxville's shitty location.)

Tennessee is a far superior program to Ole Miss in every facet. What is the argument about itt?

Yeah, I'm really mad. Totally. I'm not the one cheering for a school that just fired Derek (dammit) fricking Dooley right after Lane Kiffin dumped your arse.

Oh, and we're not $200M in debt.

Tell me again why Tennessee is such an elite program?

You're seeming to miss my point... or maybe you get it altogether.

Y'all should be doing much, much better than you are, but you aren't. Say what you will, but Tennessee simply hasn't recruited well. The very first post in this thread was basically a Tennessee fan lamenting a lack of talent in Knoxville.

You're a shitty speller.

Look, Knoxville isn't a better college town than Oxford. Most SEC fans would agree with this statement. Using that argument along with the laughable Smoky mountains argument is one of the dumbest things I've seen on this board recently.

That was my point. Knoxville sucks and isn't in a great location recruiting wise.
