Can Tennessee finally get over the elusive 7 win hump?

It's been an astounding seven year drought (that's right, seven) since the Tennessee Volunteers have won more than 7 games in a season. If you're 21 years of age, you've spent a third of your life watching a once proud program dwell into a pit of mediocrity that seemingly has no light at the end of the tunnel. 1998 is nearing closer and closer to it's 20 year anniversary - so with that, lets ask ourselves this question: When is it time to stop basking in the memories of previous accomplishments and finally call a spade a spade? Personally, I think Tennessee could make some noise here and there, but ultimately the program is falling in line with the Nebraska's and Miami's of today's landscape (I use that comparison very loosely considering those two have a much more storied and accomplished history)
Sorry for going astray there. Let's proceed with the topic. Is 2015 the year Butch Jones and crew manage to get their coveted 8th win? That'd be a major step in the right direction for those guys.

I like to hate on those orange cocksuckers more than your average person, but Ole Miss wishes they were Tennessee.

It's more recent than Ole Miss' last NC.

Why do people act like Tennessee suddenly only won 3 games per year since 1998? Up until 2007, they were just as competitive annually as Georgia

Another Tennessee thread started by an OM fan, I'm super surprised. Listen fellas, congrats on your win last year but we don't want to be your rival.
To answer your question, yes.

I think the better question is can Ole Miss finally get over the hump and get a 2nd place finish in the SEC West. We all know they will never win the SEC or even make it to Atlanta, since the program has generally sucked since the invention of color TV and such a feat is unrealistic for a slip-shod program like Ole Miss. But my god, them getting a 2nd place SEC West finish one day would be a sight to see. Here's to the little guys of the SEC!

No. 7-5

They easily could win 8 games this year, and I would say that's pretty much the most popular prediction.
Additionally, I wouldn't say Miami and Nebraska are more storied or accomplished either. I'd put them all on par.
Finally, I graduated from Ole Miss and it's people like you that almost certainly never went there that embarrass our fanbase.

I've looked into it and this checks out.

Not this year slick. Bama and Georgia are going to embarrass them.

More important question: In ten years time, will Ole Miss finally get over losing Drew Richmond?

Lol at stupidass ole miss trolls down voting logic and up voting Oxford's bull shite

This thread is an awesome. An under achiever, a has been, a never was, duking it out.

Considering the rate at which they keep starting dick measuring threads, we ought to just put the trophy in the mail to Knoxville.
Everybody talks a good game at this time of year..

I'm fairly new to here, but are the threads today not more incredibly awful than they usually are?

UTjr could hit 8 wins this year I think. Depends on our game I believe. I think 6 or 7 is more realistic until I see them play a game or two.

8/10 on the bait
But no OM fan should have shite to say when it comes to how long it's been since a school has won a NC

Except it isn't a legitimate question. It's a thread aimed at making fun of the Tennessee posters on this board. This thread is actually a microcosm of how this place is getting worse and worse. I know it. You know it. We all know it.
