I have a feeling the life of this thread will go way beyond its intended purpose

Beard first year with a new team is a wash. If you want to evenly compare look at last two years with TT and get back to me

LSU- Still haven’t played anyone decent


How is LSU a Pretender? This is a team built from scratch. Picked to finish 8/9 in the conference. Should go .500 or slightly below in conference play.

McMahon did an amazing job putting a decent team together, but make no mistake, Nobody is picking this team as a top SEC team this year. Lol

We beat Marquette who beat top 10 Baylor by 26 and we beat Utah who beat top 10 Arizona by 15. So you’re wrong

Beard at TT last 2 years there-
36-26 overall
18-17 conference record
0-1 lost in 2nd round NCAA tourny
Missed NCAA tourney.

Hell this don’t look much better. He only done good because of Tubby Smith recruits. Once he got his own guys in there it went down hill and got out while he was still considered a good coach

It's his first season taking over a bad situation.

Too soon to tell if he'll pan out.

State could play Tennessee tonight and Tennessee would be lucky to break the 55 point barrier baw.

Who?

You have played 2 teams with winning records and you think you are good. It’s easy to hold teams like Mississippi Valley state to 52 points. You won’t have that same success once SEC play starts.

Some of you Vol fans are simply gluttons for punishment. All the shite talk last year and then WHAM! You get right the hell knocked out of the NCAA tourney


Same with your baseball team - "We gonna win it all" and "BaseVols greatest team evah" Then WHAM! Not only did you not make College World Series, you couldn't even get past Notre Dame in your own super regional.

Gluttons for punishment. Or as Andy Griffith used to say...

gluttons Gluttons GLUTT TONS!

Baseball- Defending SEC champs and Tournament Champs.
Basketball- Defending SEC tournament Champs.
Football- went from 7 wins to 10wins in Heupel 2nd season and NY6 bowl.

In this same time frame I would say UT has done a lot better than Mississippi State.

Considering that LSU had zero scholarship players when our brand new Coach hit the ground in BR, I’m not sure how you can claim that they’re pretending to be anything. We’re just happy we have a team on the court. But, hey, say whatever you need to say to make yourself feel superior.

Tennessee has the worst fanbase in the country. Hands down. This shite happens every time without fail.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that Tennessee finishes second in the SEC behind Arkansas. Has a damn good season. Gets knocked out of the NCAAt in the first weekend. It's what Regular Season Rick does. It's just who he is. He can't prepare his team for the big tournament. He just can't.
