He has a good point. If it were about quantity then Army would be ranked much higher. People need to learn how the rankings work and would realise Tennessee is ranked high because they have a lot of QUANTITY to their class. I can't wait to see how TN does with actual talent. If Butch can beats South Carolina and have uga beat dead to rights. Then I can't wait to see when the talent levels are even. Spurrier is gonna be throwing that visor often. If he doesn't retire soon.

Awwww, somebody got a little upset that Tennesssee is terrible. Just take a deep breath, focus on the future and repeat after me "it's ok that our coaches signature win is against South Carolina because they're a better program than Tennessee is now."

If Tennessee cut about 4 players that are 3*, we'd have the second highest star average in the nation.


If you take away our losses last season, we were undefeated.

Everyone who attends a service academy is on full scholarship therefore they have no athletic scholarships and no signing limits. In exchange for the full ride, service academy students agree to spend 4+ years in active duty after graduation.

They are back baby! They are back!



Seriously though, Service Academies look at all of this so differently than any other football program it is ridiculous to compare them. Go watch "A Game of Honor".

Well considering signing with a service academy is essentially signing an employment contract and involves pay as well, yeah they are a bit different.

Going back to the op, bitching about people saying their class is rated because of quantity, not being true. Doesn't rivals only use the top twenty players from a team

There are actually guys every year that have never played football on a team and actually make the practice team and even the full team for the service academies. At the service academies you have to participate on an athletic team sport, whether it is intramural, JV, or NCAA team.

I think that this is a new low for the whole board, and that is saying something.

This might actually be the worst post I have ever seen because you are serious and really want us to compare you to Army and say that you are better.

Wow.
