Way to crawfish, Doreontheplains.


That's not a backpedal. It's pointing out that if Vandy was closing the gap in results with everyone else as much as they have with UT then our recruiting results would be much closer. Getting better, much better, results against one team will not overcome a bad history. Recruits, many of which are more intelligent than your average Ranter, can understand both concepts that UT no longer "owns" Vandy AND that UT is still currently more successful.

ETA: It should also be noted that I never said Vandy has surpassed UT in the rivalry or anything remotely close to that. I said that Vandy is closing the gap. Vandy's recruiting rankings are also going up, so the gap is closing there even if the recruiting gap is still massive while the on-field gap appears to be much smaller.

Mediocrity is acceptable at Tennessee. 8-4 and Butch will be back next year. The east should have been owned by Tennessee the last couple of years and this year as well but 8-4 or 9-3 will be acceptable. If your coach can't win the east and you know for a fact that he never will then why the frick would you keep him? Only thing I can come up with is that hardware isn't important to our Tennessee brothers right now and I am ok with it. When he goes 8-4 and beats a shitty Nebraska team in a meaningless bowl game go ahead and extend his arse. We are all rooting for him.
