You can almost taste the inferiority complex.

Serious question: What percentage of UT players transfer to Vandy or Kentucky today if they could?

Tennessee has a cultural issue that reminds me a lot of LSU in the 1990s. It is gonna take a coach to change the culture of the program to capitalize on the massive amounts of money y'all spend on the program. Is Butch the guy? We'll find out next fall.

the difference between LSU in the 90s and UT now is the recruiting base. LSU had a problem in the 90s with keeping kids at home. We corrected that and we rose up. Now we might be letting it slip but we can still count on pulling in home state kids. UT doesn't have many home state kids to pull. They also have a problem now that USC has been worthwhile and keeping kids in state. UT has to have a much better coach than LSU to bring the program up. They have an issue because Butch cost them games with his les miles type game management

That's the beauty of it though. They've been a stepping stone, shite, program for so long that these last 2 years are reminding them of all those stories of winning seasons when their great, great, great, great grandfather experienced a hint of success.

Don't ruin it for them.


Edit: When OM closes the gap on the 44-20 all time record/arse beating they've taken from UT -- As soon as they can do that, I'll start to respect them as a program. Until then, I'll still consider them the state without running water and one of the shittiest programs in the SEC

Hopefully, you'll get the same feeling one day. For now, enjoy being a stepping stone, shite program

For the most part Vols are a good people. Sure they don't understand audible moderation, subtle color pallets, or acronyms, but dammit they're good people. Except psk, he's a fig.

You know, I was legit happy for the success OM had this year but im starting to hope they go back into the basement where they've been since the 60's. The majority of these guys can not handle the least bit of success imo.

I've always found it humorous how OM always spouts this big brother shite at State when MSU at least has actually represented the SEC West in ATL for the league title. The only time big brother OM can make it to ATL is for a kick off classic or when the stars align once in a blue moon and they somehow get to the Peach Bowl.

UGA and OM were talking about where a receiver was going to sign, a comment got said between UT and OM folks and feelings were hurt, now we're here. Two teams that aren't rivals or even playing each other for awhile are going for blood.

I want to help my Rebal brethren but UT is not really a fight I'm adamant about.

I'll enjoy being an all time top 10 program with 6 National Championships and double digit SEC titles. Many of which I've seen in my life time.

You enjoy being the program with a paultry #51 ranking in all time wins and tradition, facilities, and small fan base comparable with Western Kentucky. Congrats on the success Ole Miss has recieved through it's history though.

Just curious, when talking about the success your program has earned... Do you light a camp fire and make papaw the center of attention for story telling time? Or do you round up the village and have them lay under the stars while Papaw recounts the Mythical legend that is Ole Miss? Just curious

Merry Christmas

They say the more smileys you insert, the more palpable the fear is.
