I honestly think Tennessee is like Nebraska, they're never coming "back."
I don’t know. A lot of the advantages that UT leveraged 20 years ago to overcome the lack of instate talent aren’t there anymore but the talent in Tennessee is on the rise. The Middle Tennessee region has been one of the fastest growing regions in the country over the last 10-15 years and is showing no signs of slowing. I would agree that the quality isn’t quite there yet but with so much more quantity being added it still opens up more talent to UT from the region that was there traditionally.

And Nebraska is about 2 good recruiting classes away from dominating the B1G West division.
Mississippi State is the same as they've been throughout my lifetime. They have good years where they flirt with really good status like with Dak Prescott and before that when John Bond and the Nasty Boys broke Alabama's winning streak in Jackson. And they have some really bad years like under Sylvester Croom. But most years they are a middle of the pack SEC team hovering between 5-7 and 9-4.
But the one fact that remains constant is since we are closer to them than Oxford, they play their A+ game against us every year. We are their Sugar Bowl every year and it's never going to change. Playing them after the annual war that is the LSU game only magnifies their effort to catch us coming off an emotional high and a physical beating. They have seldom been successful at pulling off the upset, but they have created some pretty ugly wins for us in that spot. I hate this game in this spot. I'd much rather play the Citadel this week then play the two cow colleges back to back.
