And yet your state produces significantly less high school talent than the likes of Mississippi


And yet we still are so far ahead of either Mississippi school as it’s laughable. I hope we are not going to pretend Tennessee does out recruit the Mississippi schools with or without NIL. Hell even with the abortion run of coaches from Kiffin to Pruitt the Vols still recruited at a higher level than the Mississippi schools.

Reality is with or without NIL the Vols are a national brand that recruit NC, GA, SC, VA, MD, FL, and TN for core guys and CA, TX, AZ, etc as needed to supplement them.

There has to be a grad student on here who can get a grant to study the psychology of vol fans…hugging so tightly to a tree trunk made of pain, history before 1998, and disappointment that everyone else can see, but they somehow can’t… It’s quite interesting…at least Nebraska, Minnesota, etc fans have accepted current reality and paradigms…you don’t even have the history of those teams and yet you cling so tightly


Enjoy the kinder bowl, bahahahha

Great win last night, lots of Orange there, they spent a lot of time talking about it on TV and showing it.

UGA dropped them from doing such to us in the week they were #1 a few years back by our actual fans showing up.

How did you guys lose to Michigan?

Ryan Day is not good. He actually let Chip Kelly call plays and they looked very good yesterday. But I’m actually an Arizona transplant and my stepson went to ASU so I’m supporting the Sun devils but they are gonna get boatraced. I know and we’ve all accepted it. Not expecting the Buckeyes to beat Oregon either. But it was nice to see a beatdown of the vololols

Even with mediocre coaching hires LSU has moved past Tennessee quite comfortably

Thanks for the laugh! I need it this morning. By what objective measure is LSU better than Tennessee in Football? Basketball? Baseball? None, none, and none. Thanks again for the satire.


You trying to compare LSU Football and Tennessee football since 2000 is what is laughable....they are not even in the same stratosphere the last 25yrs and I didn't go to LSU.

There are twice as many "elite" prospects in MS compared to Tenn.

It is what it is.

Yes. They hired Derek Dooley for some inexplicable reason other than his dad. I think that was the beginning of the decline.

2) LSU fans love this one: the 2001 SECCG. It was the last time the Vols were prominent on the national stage. Blew a chance to play for another natty. The real drop off began there.


Bingo

My Ohio State relatives thought the Vols had a big head yesterday so I had to school them about the last time the Vols actually had a big head. They were talking a lot of smack before that game in 01. Lost to our backup QB. Probably for the best. They weren't going to beat Miami anyway.

Good news for Vols is that your baseball program could be elite for years to come. Lean into that.

Basketball has potential. Football much better than it was.

Vols took it on the chin yesterday but no reason to panic.
