UT gets a pass here. Think about it. If they underachieved so did Arky, Vandy, the Cleveland Browns, Caddyshack 2, and every piece of Chinese electronics ever made. They expectations are similar: shittiness is the standard.
Entering the 2000 season, Tennessee was second all-time in wins, winning percentage, and conference titles. They were the clear historical #2 program in the SEC behind only Alabama. 20 years later, that's no longer as cut and dry. To say shittiness is the standard for them ignores history and logic. They have underachieved to such a degree since the year 2000 that their status as a historical power within the SEC is now in flux.

Admittedly, it was really just a troll.
There is a point, though. They aren't a power and they don't have a path to becoming one any time soon. It's like saying Georgia Tech has underachieved. They've played themselves out of high expectations.
