re: How did Butch survive allowing 45 in a loss to Vandy

Just goes to show that money ($$$) alone does not guarantee success on the gridiron.

I am a State guy so looking at UT from the outside, something is missing there and has been for 10 years. May be the way they did Fulmer is still biting them in the a**.
There is no intimidation factor from UT anymore like what existed in the 90's until the mid 2000's. When you lose the confidence factor it is hard to get it back.
Bama has it, LSU had it but there's has some cracks in it now, Auburn is similar in that other teams have the confidence to beat them now.
UGA has lost their's and is trying to regain it as well.
It is an Intangible that is hard to quantify but is nonetheless a part of and a necessary ingredient to a school's success on the football field.

Bottom line, Vandy is not scared of the Vols anymore. That is not good news for BJ's long term survival at UT.
