Wrong

Tennessee is one of the few teams in college football to never have less than 5 wins in a season.




Actually there's only 2 teams that can say that - us and tOSU.

Get over yourself.

1895 3 2 1
1896 4 0
1897 4 1
1900 3 2 1
1901 3 3 2
1903 4 5
1904 3 5 1
1905 3 5 1
1910 3 5 1
1911 3 4 2
1912 4 4
1915 4 4
1918 3 2
1919 3 3 3
1924 3 5
1935 4 5
1948 4 4 2
1954 4 6
1958 4 6
1962 4 6
1964 4 5 1
1977 4 7

Omitted from consideration due to not being "3 or 4 win seasons":

1891 0 1
1892 2 5
1893 2 4
1894 2 0 2
1906 1 6 2
1909 1 6 2
1917 0 3


I think you need a new media guide.

You can say it, but you wouldn't be factually correct.

In 1977 Tennessee beat Vandy, Memphis, Oregon State and Boston College. Can you name any other wins for 1977?

More than 7 losses, not less than 5 wins.

TN and OSU are the only 2

"Everyone thinks I'm the best damn coach in the country. But (Neyland) taught me everything I know."In seven attempts, Bear Bryant never defeated General Neyland."I never beat him," he said, "but I learned a lot from playing him."At General Neyland's retirement banquet, Bryant muttered "thank God the old guy finally quit."

You try too hard. Dude obviously misstated the factoid and I agreed without FAQ checking.

It is what it is.

I have a feeling the original non-family friendly quote was "thank God the old bastard finally quit."

Dude, I'm not trying at all. Y'all are just easy.

So "obviously misstating the factoid and agreeing without FAQ[sic - or do you usually check the frequently asked questions before posting?] checking" is the new "wrong"?

Trying to act like it's a big deal when it's obviously been corrected is not wrong it's just douchey.

One is already over so, not sure what the discussion is

While LSU was having 3/4 win seasons, UF and Tennessee were winning National Titles. Hopefully the same happens with their new tDecline



Yeah, while you've been in your decade long decline we've done pretty well. Glad our decline was one season and is over. Let us know how it is being irrelevant (still).
