Georgia happened. It took a bit longer for Auburn to bite the dust, but it happened.

Per Georgia.

CMR started the paradigm shift and Kirby finished it.

Jimmy Haslam is a very underrated post.

You notice how things have shifted across the board since be became owner of the Browns and less attentive and involved in Knoxville?

Now that we have Spyre and NIL, we will never need little Jimmy and the like running roughshod over the AD and keeping the good ol boy network in play. it’s the reason Hamilton lasted as long as he did.

Let the name Sexton ring throughout the land. Yes, the dude in Memphis who was the agent for pretty much all of our problems. Even worse, the beancounter peckerwood AD (who finally left us for Nashville where he could tell the religious where to dig water wells in Africa, Sexton was frickin' ALSO his agent. Sounds sick? It was. Hamilton was a mediocre well digger,too, and is now doing something else.

We made Sexton richer. Wonder why his more recent affiliation with Pat Dye's son didn't work out?

It's been a hot minute since then but I've always blamed Kelley Washington. I don't know that it was him specifically but that's how it started. He was a fame/locker room problem and things began to spiral out from there.


He also had one of the fruitiest TD dances I've ever seen

We handed you the SEC on a silver platter.. please explain to me what on earth happened??


What are you babbling about.

We beat F1or1da in 2003 and 2004 and won the East and went to Atlanta in 2004.

So yes, F1or1da sucked, and yes, we took advantage of it, and no, we didn't "collapse" after 2001. It happened in 2005.

And even then, we won 9 in 2006 and 10 in 2007, again winning the East, seasons that 80 percent of the teams in the SEC at that time would have killed for.

/thread

p.s. Scoreboard.

p.p.s. F1or1da sucks, and Tennessee rules.

p.p.p.s. Good luck trying to get rid of Napier hahahahaha.

By the way, F1or1da is in the middle of a collapse right now.

How the hell did that happen?

Of course LSU didn’t “end UT”, it’s just fun to troll. That being said, I have never been around more devastated fans then riding the MARTA in Atlanta following the 2001 SEC championship. I saw grown men in tears. Roses scattered on the ground everywhere.

That was my 21st birthday. Yeah

Get your punk bitch arse in the car and head to Chattanooga. Pick one and let me know.

Bring the wife with you. She probably hasn't railed hard since she married your tiny-dicked arse. I'll take care of her too.

I always felt like Tennessee was at it’s best when David Cutcliff was there.

LSU is not a threat now and are fading even more with the rise of UT.


If we aren’t a threat, then what is Alabama?
