re: LSU sports don't always live up to expectations, but they never hit rock bottom

I generally agree, however, Tennessee is a good case study on this matter. A Top 10 program like UT dropping so low just seems so improbable. Hopefully we will not see lows like this for a long time. I enjoy our just inside the Top 10 status.

Personally, I'd consider Tennessee more probable than most bluebloods. Weak in-state recruiting and stiff competition for recruits in neighboring states makes their position somewhat precarious. The fact that they have one of the best pedigrees in the SEC is a tribute to some excellent coaching.
