The only facility I have seen that's hands down better than ours.


I've never understood the facility arms race. We have nice stuff but don't go overboard and it doesn't seem to affect recruiting one bit.

Well I hope you have a great trip. I'll drink a hurricane or two for you.

I guess it's nice if that's all you could afford.

It's not too bad of a problem when you can take a shite and hit 15 Top-100 players.

In Knoxville, you have to make an Uncle Rico-esque throw to hit anything above a two star.

Looks amazing, but UT still doesn't know how to win games.


just wait. Butch Jones is new Urban Meyer. he has won everywhere he's been.

and Nathan "Tebow" Peterman is our next QB. Jones recruited him hard at Cincy but UT signed him at the end.

That furniture in the 2nd picture looks stupid.

With such a nice facility opening up, why was it so hard to find a coach, and not be able to get an elite one?

That is very nice, all y'all need now are some footbal players.


I really like the stadium seats in the team meeting room, very nice. I think Alabama is wanting to do that now.

Seems pretty standard to me. I guess the WOW-factor is that Tennessee hasn't had facilities like this. That may explain why y'all aren't doing very well - you've been behind on facilities. Happened to us regionally in the late 90's.

Tennessee always led the nation in facilities arms race since the 90's. Tennessee led, others followed after.
Even Lane Kiffin was blown away by UT facilities when he first came to Tennessee. interesting because he was previously at a top program USC for several years.
