why should Walker’s USFL numbers be forgotten?


Same reason college, semi-pro and other stats don't count - it's not the same thing.

Good lord. Typical UGA stunt. " I can't earn it so either give it to me or make it easier". Its same reason so many of their fans want to expand the playoffs. One of his personalities probably believes he should be given an MMA title. Hell he did the same thing trying to go back to UGA after he decided to go pro.

Good lord what a straw man.

But not Georgia or Georgia State. In fact UT’s defense was the only SEC defense to give up 30+ to UGA’s abortion of an offense.

UTK was 0-2 vs. the State of Georgia last season.

And one of those losses wasn't to GTU

The Sugar Bowl doesn't matter any more? Well, then the Gator Bowl means about as much as these Madden 2020 simulations. Congrats.

Beating your cross-division rival doesn't matter any more? I would have the opinion too if UGA was on a 13 game losing streak to Auburn.

Beating your in-state rival doesn't matter any more? Your 2019 seniors finally got their first win over Vandy, so I am surprised by your hot take on this.

No, we know how to make a CFP. Try making a bowl game in consecutive years before coming back to chirp at us.

Certainly odd to see UT fans claim SEC championships and playoff games don’t matter. Could understand Bama fans having that view, but not UT.

AFL stats are included and it's not call the NFL HOF,it's called the Pro Football HOF.

it's called trying to get assets. the business side of the NFL is clearly not your thing. Good and great players get traded. doubt you comprehend that, though.

The Sugar Bowl stopped mattering when the Playoffs became a thing. Ole Miss touts their big NY6 bowl win a few years ago, do you want to be like them? Great win over powerhouse Baylor though, congrats. Yes the Gator bowl means nothing. It is improvement however when you haven't made a bowl in a few years

Well...you are on a 5 game losing streak to our cross-divisional rival, and you haven't beaten them since 2008. Its Alabama, they have been on a historic run since Saban got there and we have been awful. Thats what we are now working on. But hey we beat Auburn away last time we played them so that was cool.

Have to beat the bad teams before you can beat the good teams. It was nice to see us take UK, SC, Vandy, and Mizzou last year when we have had struggled with them in the past. Again, improvement is a good thing when you have been as bad as we are. Hopefully this season we can start competing with the big boys.

Early in the season we were lost and the GSU, BYU, UGA, and UF games obviously showed that. We didnt have a chance against UGA once we missed the early FG. We showed a lot of improvement after that, We had Alabama on the ropes before a bad fumble adn won the rest of our games. Next year we play you in November, I think it will be a much different game. Will be very fun to watch

To every recruit weighing going to Athens or Knoxville, 1998 and 1980 are both before they were born.

It's fricking ancient history.

Even UTK's greatest player of all time is now out of the NFL. Who is the best UTK player in the NFL right now? Alvin Kamara? Let's look back on his UTK career:

He now averages 1,492 APY/season in the NFL, but Tennessee had him splitting starts with a WR in the Vawlz backfield. Yeah, UTK really knows how to utilize talent.

at acting like having former VOL AK excelling in the NFL is a bad thing in any way for UT. Butch Jones is gone now

Also for the record. VOLS have 33 active NFL players and UGA has 36 so its not some crazy discrepancy weve got going on. I am not trying to say UT is nationally relevant or even good right now. We suck, ok i get it. But UGA fans act like hot shite with nothing to back it up

He had more stroke than the Boz when the Boz signed his contract. He could have made more in the NFL overall. I'm a Cowboys fan and was glad when they drafted him to keep his rights. Dallas was notoriously cheap back then. Herschel could have been the first pick and commanded whatever he wanted. He would have also been a commercial smash bringing in even more cash.

He would likely be in the Hall of Fame now. The Vikings didn't have a clue how to use him.

Last SEC title for UTK: 1998
UGA has 3 since then

Is this part where you say SEC titles don't matter like you're an Alabama fan?
