re: The Fall of Tennessee Football: From Big 6 to Doormat of SEC

How he is still alive is a testament to the existence of miracles.

So don't want to compare sec records huh just want to make stupid statements? Thanks for making my point. How about you win a championship of any kind before you speak the letters LSU again.

Fun fact: Tennessee has the least number of winning seasons over the last decade. THREE winning seasons in TEN years.

Fun fact: ole miss has two 10 win seasons since 1963.

Fun Fact: Since 2001 UT has 4 seasons with 10 wins or more. That's with us sucking since 2008.

If I were ole miss I would never troll anyone except vandy.

I know people are just "getting their mocking of TN" in before they rise, but I am confident they will rise. They in the second group of elite programs in the country (just outside blueblood) so they are one of the 20 or so programs that have a legit shot at being a national title contending program.

Good post. No fruit sucks like a Big Orange.

Tennessee is gonna be back next year. The reason? You play the Hogs next year. Eastern teams are almost always at their peak when they have the Hogs role onto their schedule. We played the top two eastern teams this year, last year, and the year before that. Played Florida when they were winning titles under Weurffle and Tebow, Georgia when they had Stafford and Eric Zier. Kentucky when they had Tim Couch. Tennessee when they had Peyton and the hot shot that followed him. The list goes on and on.

So Tennessee winning the East next yearvis probably going to happen.

Oh, we're playing this game.

Fun fact: Out of the last 1 game, Ole Miss is undefeated vs Tennessee.

Fun fact: Ole Miss has won 2 out of the last 3 meetings.

Fun fact: In the last 60 years, Ole Miss has won 3 National Championships. Tennessee has only won 2.

Fun Fact: Since the year 2000, Ole Miss has 6 bowl wins, Tennessee has 3 bowl wins.

Fun Fact: Tennessee's last bowl win was 2008. Ole Miss has 4 wins since then.

Fun Fact: We can put timeframes on anything and make it sound good. Doesn't change the fact that UT is the doormat of the SEC right now. They have a chance to break that with a bowl win and move up to 13th in the SEC. Ole Miss was there for a short time in Nutt's last two years. Butch has UT in the right direction. Good things are coming for Tennessee.

We can troll anybody we want right now, actually. We can always troll these teams: MSU, Florida, Kentucky, USC, and Vandy

Actually, that's our theory. Hogs will be back because whoever we play in the West is at their peak - last season Auburn, this year OM. Someone finally did do a breakdown and sure enough we had the worst divisional draws - Arky was right behind us in bad draws.

So what happens now that the two are scheduled to meet?

UGA, AU, UA and even little Ole Miss have shut them out of Georgia recruiting pretty much. Without the ability to recruit Georgia, UT is dead in the water. 

At least Ole Miss has an in state recruiting base.

When you get a second, shoot me your email. I'll let you know how back to back top 5(ish) classes feel a little more in depth.

When responding, we would be indebted to you if you could shoot us some info on the 5* and 2 - 4* players committed to UT from GA. Being that we get shut out of GA so often, nobody knows what to expect or how they'll play.

Really looking forward to your guidance on that.

UT is fine. The recruitment of Georgia is a year-by-year mystery. There is no recruiting state like Georgia. It's simple for UT, win. That game against Oklahoma is HUGE for y'all next year...not that you didn't already know that

I'll agree with you there. Beating OU would be a massive springboard for a potentially very good season.

Recruiting is no longer the problem like that guy was saying. Youth, depth and learning how to win is where we're at now. Similar to OM in 2013.
