Don’t believe you....
But they are now climbing out of the cellar.

Theyve fallen past the point of no return. They will never be as good as they were under Fulmer ever again. They simply have fallen too far behind to recruit top notch kids nationally, like they must do to have a shot in the sec. They just don't have the talent base in state and have to compete with too many teams who have much more talent in a very close proximity to their school. Tennessee has seen its glory days come and go, and there will be no more. Sorry not sorry.

Recruiting is not an issue. Butch jones pulled in a top 5 class. We need the right coach and we can be good again. It’s simple as that.

Meh people said the same about LSU from like 1970-2000. Plus y’all haven’t even been truly elite since 2011, nearly a decade now. Louisiana has a massive problem with declining population and will be under water soon anyways. Sadly, it’s a dying state. Tennessee on the other hand is growing into a Southern behemoth of a state.
Pretty sure Tennessee and their “talent base” will be just fine over the next century.
Analytical and scientific trends say otherwise for ole Louisiana.

Tennessee can't compete with the best team in their state. They are in rough shape, and it doesn't look like it's going to get all that much better under Pruitt.

Question for Tenn fans, "You've lost to Bama 12 straight times, meaning middle school students in Tennessee have never seen their favorite team beat their biggest rival. Will you lose 6 more meaning an entire wave of children will graduate HS NEVER having seen a win over your biggest rival?"
What odds would you take?
It really isn't that much different than the streak that they had over Tennessee from 71 to 81.

you haven't paid much attention to the in state talent the past few years have you? Under Fulmer, TN made a living plucking the best players from the rest of the Southeast(and VA) b/c there was usually 1 maybe 2 players that were SEC level recruits then. That's no where near the case now. Nashville is growing like crazy and has become a pretty good recruiting hotbed the past few years. Memphis has been steady, and East TN has turned out several big time prospects the past few years(look no further than Clemson's WR's).

I moved up to Nashville a few months ago and it blows my mind how many Bama fans are up here. I honestly think I see more Alabama fans/gear than UT fans.

TN has never beaten a Will Muschamp football team.

By exact same, you surely can't mean that Scar will win the next 5. You have the mean that Clemson is gonna roll off another 5 in a row

They should be replaced with Georgia Southern.

Just to update.
Was in Publix in Nashville area this afternoon picking up some egg salad and towel old farts like myself in Gator gear. No Vol gear in sight.
Ponder that for a second, Gators > Vols, in Nashville
To be fair tho, did not see any Bama gear in Publix so maybe it is just a Kroger thing. Also, to be fair, no MTSU or VU gear in Publix, so maybe less SEC interest in their stores.
