And yet, Ole Miss still has more national titles than they do in those three sports combined

Baseball, basketball, and football all ranked #1 at some point last year.

You can't be the best sports program and not make any of the
CFP, Final Four, or CWS. These carry weight, being pretty good overall does not.

I know there's 1 school that won/is about to win SEC Titles in both major sports in the last 15 months.

1 year doesnt make a program.

Vol football has been garbage for two decades until this year.

Vol baseball was always the bottom feeder in the SEC up until recently.

You must really like getting downvoted to broach this subject on this board.

That said, the hypocrisy on this board never ceases to amaze. When UF was doing something similar under their old AD no one threw a fit about it. Instead, we all begrudgingly acknowledged a job well done by their AD. Our AD is doing great right now. It's probably the best overall in the nation at major sports. And given where it's been that's no small feat.

All sports have risen in the past few seasons. That's funding secured by Fulmer and results brought to fruition by AD Danny White. He might've only hired Heupel but White has guided the AD to success it's never had before and been able to do it in record time. UT President Randy Boyd and Chancellor Donde Plowman deserve major credit as well as well as credit for managing to raise our academic profile along with the athletic profile.

We went from a long line of incompetents and one outright thief who embezzled university funds to good management and it shows. We've never had all three positions be competent at the same time and the difference it has made has been beyond measure.

Because we won actual titles. Do you really not see the difference?
