I was waiting for someone to mention The Program. I think many crowd shots are from UT's infamous '92 loss at Williams-Brice....

Changing your fandom is odd, but selecting a team to pull for is no biggie. You don't need a connection.
A buddy who went to a good small school became a huge Georgia Tech fan when his sister played volleyball there....

Wilma Rudolph for Tennessee
Willie Gault should be mentioned for Georgia. He was a winter Olympian, and would have been a summer one were it not for the boycott. Plus he was very good at football....

I think UF can put up 27. How the Vols score 17 is beyond me. Our OL is abysmal....

As a Tennessee fan I'm staying far away from this discussion. Our new stuff is cleaner, but has even less character than our salute to bad 60's, 70's, and 80's architecture. ...
re: Tennessee +10 versus West Virginia
Posted by murfvol on 8/15/18 at 9:45 am
WVU will put up 30-35 if UT'S defense is marginally better. If the Vols can run they can probably put up 25 points.
Should the OL stink again we'll be destroyed. There's 8-win talent on the team, but who knows about the coaching?...

Has Ole Miss had a decent defense since Joe Lee Dunn? I know they've had some players, but I don't recall a defense I thought of as nasty, much less a tradition of them....
re: Vol fans: has UT officially given up on Women's Basketball?
Posted by murfvol on 8/10/18 at 10:17 pm
Realistically not as many women as men care about competing athletically. It's not right or wrong, it just is.
That means the talent pool is super shallow. Get a few players and you do very well. Pair them with a good coach and you dominate.
UT isn't terrible, but there's a huge drop from the...
re: Who do you see as your school's best player of all time?
Posted by murfvol on 7/13/18 at 6:30 pm
Reggie White would be the most common answer, but it might be Doug Atkins. He revolutionized the DE position, and was also the conference high jump champ. His 17 year NFL career put him in Canton.
Dale Carter and Carl Pickens are also in the discussion, as is Manning.
Eric Berry is the best p...
re: Would UT fans trade Pruitt for Mullen
Posted by murfvol on 7/7/18 at 2:31 pm
Good question. Mullen is much more proven so I'd take him today. I prefer a good known quantity.
I wouldn't take someone with Dooley's pre-UT track record over Pruitt, and probably not Butch Jones' given he followed Kelly everywhere.
I'd absolutely take Leach, but am not sure about Taggart....

Moving freely is easy, BUT concourses are narrow. If you move, do it at the end of the first quarter. Then you know what's fair game....
