re: How long before the board gets inundated with Tennessee posts

In all honesty, this meme is so weird to me. I recognize that Tennessee fans here talk endless shite, but that's because it's the Rant and everyone talks endless shite. That's all this place is for.

Tennessee had expectations this year, but none outside of the most optimistic were predicting a national title, and even those folks recognized by and large that it would take a lot of luck to do that.

Last year Tennessee was expected to be okay and they were okay. But before that? When was the last time Tennessee had REAL expectations? 2008, maybe? 2005?

I recognize that this is not an answer to your question, which is about Tennessee posts on THIS board, but the whole thing about Tennessee always being preseason darlings strikes me as odd.
