re: When will Tennessee Football become relevant again?

Sooner than Fighting arkie-farkie football will.

I think that is something other than arkie-farkie nation will agree on.

Arkansas is feeling it because for the 2nd time in their 19 year SEC tenure they were better than Tennessee.

Arky fans don't let facts get in the way of flaming.

I'm not sold that Dooley is the right guy to lead Tennessee back to prominence.

This isn't a flame, but I didn't realize AR was that bad in SEC play for so long. Hopefully for Hog fans they can put together more years like this one in the near future.

The 90's, outside of one division title in 1995 and Nutt's first season with Ford's players in 1998 were horrible. One of the worst in the history or our program. 3 bad hires contributed to that downfall.

Nutt was never good in conference play at Arkansas either. He won the West one time with a solid conference record. That was 2006 when we went 7-1. When he won it in 2002, our record was a mediocre 5-3. Alabama being on probation gave us the in there.

Petrino going 6-2 this year was more impressive than any other coaching job we have had here since we joined the SEC IMO. The West was down right brutal this year.

I expect the trend to continue because we have a very capable coach now.

As for Tenner flamers, it almost looks like a mirror image of what we went through in the 90's. 3 bad coaching hires. I am not sold on Dooley.

Do UT and Arky play next season?

Yea. Tenner comes to Fayettenam

quote:

We will have the best QB and the best WR in the league next year. and they're both gonna be sophomores.

You will have neither of these. Aaron Murray will be better than Tyler Bray, and you have nobody anywhere close to Alshon Jeffrey.

Hawgalude: I don't know. I would consider a second place SEC [West] [regular season] finish and a BCS [bowl loss] pretty relevant. Since this is about Tennessee again, how does 5 wins next season feel or will feel?

---

He may not be yall's best poster on here, but you have to admit he says what is on all of your minds.

UTenn is a legit program and will come back.

And? That did not stop us from winning 10 games this year.

What is your point?

You argued for 8 hours the other day about how Arkansas did not have any talent, yet did not want to get into recruiting. Now, you try to throw that up.

You pussify every thread you post in.

Accept that Tenner sucks right now and move on, or go paint a rock and burn some couches.

---

LMAO of course bringing up recruiting and its undeniable impact is "pussified." I wonder why? Maybe because Arkansas cannot compete in it. Sure anyone can have a good season every now and then, but you will not do it consistently if you cant win any recruiting battles against good programs. You signed 30 players. Only 4 of them were 4-star prospects. That is kentucky caliber recruiting. You will not compete consistently in this league like that. And if you cant compete in recruiting after a BCS bowl game, you never will.

Im gonna settle this shite right now.. Arkansas is relevent every 4-5 years. UT is in a major rebuilding phase and honestly, with Dooley at the helm, I don't see UT relevent.

We had 10 years of Nutt. What did you expect, SEC Championships and BCS Bowls?

Nutt is one of the most successful coaches in your history.
