Re: Sad day for BCS teams.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We'll lose by 40-50 points, win probably only 6 games, but go to a bowl. Tennessee's elite status in college football expired many years ago; we haven't been to a BCS bowl in 10 years. Even though we have 6.3 million in Tennessee, only 16 % are AA, and they mostly live in and around Memphis, in West Tennessee, 400 miles from Knoxville. Cotton was NOT grown, planted, cultivated, picked, or ginned within 150 miles of Knoxville and we are in the SEC where cotton was cultivated over vast stretches of Georgia, SC, Alabama, Fla, and Louisiana. Don't tell anyone that AA's are the best college football players, Boise State withstanding! We are no longer a factor nor will we be a factor because of demographics, in the SEC and college football. We are in the bottom of the SEC with Ark., Ky, and the MIss. schools; just the facts! And congrats on your great win over us in the bowl!! You all have a program; we don;t, unfortunately for Tennesseans!
As a long time, avid, UT fan, our one and only hope is to change conferences. There is little or no interst in the Big East, the ACC's academic credentials preclude us, so our one and only hope is the Big Ten. The Big Ten has publicly proclaimed that the changing demographics-population growth in the South-makes them look south toward future expansion of their conference. Contact, conversations, have evolved between most influential UT folks and the Big Ten but they want Ky to come with UT. Ky, because of it's long and great history of bb domination in the SEC, is most reluctant. UT's only hope for footbal sucdcess is to exit the SEC but the Big Ten's demands that Ky come with us is holding up most serious consideration. They want Florida, but Florida has NO interest!

Adams was the UT alum President.
Is it true, UT running away?

This won't happen; however, they might as well. They are just a basketball school now.
We can then go after GT, Clemson, or VT for the East division.
Or
We could also go after Texas A&M and move Auburn to the East. That way they can keep permanent rivalries with Bama and UGA.

Possibly the dumbest thing I've ever read. And I read everything I write.
No way anyone ever leaves the SEC unless they are voted out by other members (if that's even possible).
