Lets be honest it has already been 25 years since UTjr won their last Natty, but we are getting ahead of ourselves just a little.

Before they can even think about winning a Natty they have to be able to at least be competitive with their 2 biggest rivals. Things are looking rough in that area. Since the start of the Saban era (2007) UTjr is 1-16 vs Bammer and 4-12 vs UGA.

Winning the NC is hard, not winning the East since 2007 has to be the larger frustration.

Hasn’t it already? Tennessee is the next man up. Then Florida and Auburn

Our two biggest rivals are Bama and Florida. Nobody cares about the Georgia game

UT fans care more about Kentucky than UGA

And that’s why Tenner can’t win the East. They don’t even care about beating the top Dawg.

Our "rival" dance card is full. And with the dissolution of divisions, it never will become one.

I think their 2nd biggest rival is Vandy.
Tennessee is 4-3 in the last 7 and 6-5 in the last 11 matchups.

15 more years til we get to 1980 status

25 is a bit less than 40 in case you needed the math completed for you.

We're talking about the length of time since you last even won the league. Forget the natty. We've never gone more than 20 years between conference titles so you've already well surpassed that with no end in sight.

This use of "UTjr" as a pejorative in an attemp to lessen an original SEC member's worth to this conference in the face of UTa's entrance into the league .... it's pure petty bullshite.

Tennessee is an original member. This sort of trolling goes too far.

Never, under any circumstances, should any member of this board put the **gs of UTa above an original member of this conference.

When petty little assclown punks like the OP, skipjackbama, do-it .... it illustrates what is wrong with this world today. No honor, no family loyalty.

It makes the entire Bama fanbase look bad. A karma kickback that Bama now has coming is going to be epic.

OP could have been rude and crude and vulgar and he could habe trolled the phuq outta UTk fans .... but the OP should have his arse stomped for this UTjr thing,

You think “1980” started in 2021? I’ve seen that for at least the last 10 years. TN is basically already there.

It's even worse for the Vols because that's the last time they even won the SEC.

Obviously you can’t count. 25 years is not 40 no matter how much you say other wise.

When the conference expands next year and the CFP expands, the SEC championship game will not matter. Teams will be able to get in with 1-2 losses and without having to play they extra game.

Sure.
But the 4th best team in the conference will still lose to the 3rd or 2nd or 1st team in the conference.

Congrats.

Nah we're good for nearly 2 more decades. 43=25 according to inbred fan's math.
