Comparing 2016-18 to 2022-23, Tennessee has the most improved athletic department in the nation. Arkansas and Ole Miss are fifth and sixth, respectively. Alabama and LSU are in the top 15.

Conversely, Mississippi State had the third worst decline post-COVID, only beating out Oregon and Penn State. A&M, South Carolina and Mizzou are amongst the worst 10 declines.

So if it appears that Missouri and State are worse off than they were a few years ago, and Tennessee and Ole Miss are on the rise, here is the data to back it up.

State fans - John Cohen killed what Byrne and Stricklin built.

Directors cup. Because college tennis and soccer are just as important as sports with packed stadiums and arenas.
I get the school pride thing as our town wins the Texas high school version of that every year, but they’d trade it for one more football win in a second.

You could also just win at all of them.

While that’s nice for the Vols, it more points out to how down we were during that 2016-2018 period.

Football is averaging 9 wins a year with a NY6 win

Basketball has won the SEC, made 2 sweet 16s and an elite 8

Baseball has won 3 straight regions and made 2 of 3 CWS while winning the SEC and SECT



Don’t lie to yourself and pretend Tennessee isn’t an all sports school now.

Thanks, but Covid didn’t kill A&M.

Unless it has been around for 80 years…

... Ole Miss

I mean, it's largest gain in average cup standings. When you're starting at zero, it stands to reason when your baseball team wins a fluke title.

Y’all are close in baseball
Average a game a year less in football

And are a good bit behind on basketball

300-400 points outside of the big 3 is a joke.

Everyone with a brain knows John Cohen is the worst AD we ever had. Watching Auburn come to the realization of this has been hilarious. Now they're stuck with leftovers from Mississippi Freeze and Cohen. Enjoy!
