re: Is Tennessee the Ole Miss of the East?

I'm guessing you are in your early 20's. Tennessee has been completely irrelevant for more than 1/3rd of your life.



And your uniforms suck

Probably just turned 20.

And your uniforms are racist

This is the part where I claim to have "facefricked" her, right? Isn't that what you do? People love that and think it's so funny. I just want to fit in around here

I wish I had as many internet friends as you

You don't have any real life friends? I'm sorry.

If you'd like me to dig just a little deeper we can compare the quality of opponents and margin of defeat. That wouldn't really bode well for your argument though

7-6 (3-5) VS 5-7 (2-6)

OM Wins over: 9-3 Central Ark (FCS), 3-9 UTEP, 2-10 Tulane, 3-9 Auburn, 4-8 Arkansas, 8-5 State, 6-7 Pitt. (35-51 .407 wpct)
OM Losses to: 9-4 TX, 13-1 Bama, 11-2 TAMU, 12-2 UGA, 9-4 Vandy, 10-3 LSU. (64-16 .800 wpct)

UT Wins over: (0-12) AP, 8-4 WKU, 6-6 South Alabama, 11-2 SC, 2-10 UK (27-34 .443 wpct)
Losses to: 11-2 Oregon, 4-8 UF, 8-5 UGA, 11-2 UA, 12-2 Miz, 12-2 Aub, 9-4 Vandy (67-25 .728 wpct)

Best Win: 8-5 State vs. 11-2 SC (Edge UT)
Worst loss: 9-4 Vandy vs. 4-8 UF (Edge OM)

CHF beat the teams he was supposed to and lost to the ones who was supposed to. CBJ essentially did the same thing, but blew the UF game only to make up for it with an overachieving win over SC.

Judgement: PUSH

8-5 (3-5) VS 7-6 (3-5)

OM Wins over: 9-4 Vandy, 3-9 SEMO, 8-5 TX, 10-3 LSU, 1-11 Idaho, 3-9 Arky, 6-6 Troy, 7-6 GT. (47-53 .470 wpct)
OM Losses to: 11-2 Bama, 12-2 Aub, 9-4 TAMU, 12-2 Miz, 7-6 State. (51-16 .761 wpct)

UT Wins over: 10-4 USU, 7-6 Arky State, 10-4 UTC (FCS), 7-6 SC, 5-7 UK, 3-9 Vandy, 7-6 Iowa (49-42 .538 wpct)
UT Losses to: 8-5 OU, 10-3 UGA, 7-5 UF, 9-4 OM, 12-2 Bama, 11-3 Mizz (55-22 .714 wpct)

Best win: 10-3 LSU vs 7-6 Iowa (edge OM)
Worst Loss: 7-6 State vs 7-5 UF (PUSH)

Judgement: Freeze was able to get a signature win in year 2 which Butch did not do. Outside of that, the numbers are pretty close. EDGE LEANS A LTITLE TO FREEZE


9-4 (5-3) VS 9-4 (5-3)

OM Wins over: 12-2 Boise, 3-9 Vandy, 9-4 ULL, 10-3 Memphis, 12-2 Bama, 8-5 TAMU, 7-6 UT, 6-5 Pres, 10-3 State (77-39 .664 wpct)
OM Losses to: 8-5 LSU, 8-5 Auburn, 7-6 Arky, 12-1 TCU (35-17 .67 wpct)

UT wins over: 10-4 BG, 7-4 WCU, 10-3 UGA, 5-7 UK, 3-9 SC, 1-11 North TX, 5-7 MO, 4-8 Vandy, 10-3 Northwestern (55-56 .496 wpct)
UT Losses to: 11-2 OU, 10-4 UF, 8-5 Arky, 14-1 Bama (43-12 .782 wpct)

Best win: 12-2 Bama vs 10-3 UGA/Northwestern (EDGE OM)
Worst Loss: 7-6 Arky vs 8-5 Arky (EDGE UT)

Judgment: CHF has higher highs, but what is he doing losing to those 3 west opponents late in the season? CBJ once again lost to a team we should have beaten (Arky), but beat a team that was favored (UGA). EDGE LEANS OM AGAIN

Basically Hugh Freeze is a CBJ with a higher variance. Ill give the slight edge to CHF for the 1st 3 years of his tenure compared to CBJ due to CHF's having a couple more signature wins. But they are both improved win totals year by year and recruited very well. It is very close. Too close to argue one way or the other.

If that's the case the OM vs UTk relevancy over your lifetime really goes out the window.

Why is it always the same posters tripping all over themselves to post in a thread where VOLS are mentioned?
