UF looked pathetic. There's no denying that.

We ended strong, they started strong. The former is better than the latter. Sorry your team lost yesterday.
There is nothing impressive about the end to our season. We just played better teams earlier.

We played Wisconsin yesterday and LSU in the SEC Championship game. LSU could be the NC this year.

I'm new here! First Post!

I'm a UT fan! But, those who think that UT should be a National Player every year....Give Me a Break!

1. You play in the best Conf in the country. Vandy is'nt an easy win anymore!

2. Tennessee High School football is not that great. Name me the last GREAT college player to come from Tennessee besides Patrick Willis. You have to recruit around the country! Fla, TX, Cal, GA,Ohio .....can recruit in state!

3. Tradition??? You can name 25 schools that have the same or BETTER tradition that UT!

10 wins at UT is Good! once every 10 years they can compete for a national championship! Whoever wins this years BCS Champ will be the first to win 2!!!!!!!!!!! What does that tell you! IT'S NOT EASY!
Would Nebraska, Florida State, Notre Dame, Michigan, Alabama, Penn State, Pitt, Washington, UCLA, Miami.......like to have UT's last 10 years compared to theirs???? YES!

Even USC and Oklahoma had a few "down" years in the last 10! It's called SPORTS! GET REAL! UT is not UCLA basketball in the 70's!

By the Way.......Go Vols, Fulmer, and Chavis!

UT 's last few years shouldn't even be compared to USC or Oklahoma.

Exactly, so why even bother with those expectations and goals thingies. Accept our plight, learn to love it and become a real fan.

I'll take OUs tradition all day long, unless you're just talking longevity. If so, who cares.

They had down years in the last 10. So they kicked their coach out and moved on.

Keep Fulmer! he is a great motivator!! Get a "different" OC who can think outside the box! (Illinois OC) (Mike Martz) Cutt is a GREAT QB Coach, not a great OC!

BIG offences bring in BIG recruits! Not the Inidividual!

again, since it's all just chance and kids will be kids, why bother with paid coaches, expectations, goals, scholarships, etc. Let's just draw names from a hat, declare an honorary coach, throw on unis and play.
