Ole Miss fans are not getting their hopes up, but Tennessee fans are. You forgot which board you’re posting on.

So we have an Ole Miss fan come in the middle of argument about TN/AL rivalry in the the DW thread to tell us not to get our hopes up? Think that will get us back on track?

Most TN fans still think it’s the mid 90s. Wake up

Don't know of one UT fan who would say this. I mean Bama is dominating the series right now. But it is still a rivalry. If JP gets us back to like we were in the 90's and the guy who follows Sabes has the program drop a little and UT goes on a run winning 10 of 12 again, it would not change it then either. It has been and always will be a rivalry game. You are wrong on this one but you are too stubborn to see it. It's ok. You are still an affirmed individual. You can still get a trophy.

Good Lord!!! This is a recruiting thread not a rivalry debate. Open a thread on the "Football" forum a let those of us who DGAS what you think about Tn/Al ignore you while we follow Mr. Wright's possible relocation to Knoxville.

If there was any new news on Wright someone would post it, and then everyone's attention would turn to whatever the news was.

What do you define quitting? I’ve probably gone to more UT games than you and live across the country. GGNORE

I'd say you haven't friend. I grew-up 15mins from the stadium. My family has had the same season tickets since 1971, when my 13yr old father decided to spend his entire summer working in a furniture factory in addition to the mandatory work on his grandparents tobacco farm to buy tickets. The same seats have been renewed every year since. The people we sit next to, my father sat next to when they were kids. My grandmother worked at TN for over 40yrs. I obtained my degree from UT, as did everyone in my family that pursued a college education. I've been to well over 200 games, probably closer to 300. I saw Heath, I saw Peyton, and I was there every game in 98. I am a born and raised East Tennessean, my family hails from Appalachia. As a fan, Tennessee blood doesn't run deeper than me and mine.

As others have said. You are incorrect regarding this particular subject. Some of us would know.

The day I feel like some of these "fans" around here, and type post after post after post of misery, negativity, and what's "real", is the day I just stop.

If you notice, anytime any good info comes in about a recruit, none of them are to be found, crickets; but, let us lose one or hear about one leaning elsewhere, and you won't be able to count the "he gone's" or "lol's" they'll be falling over themselves to post. I've come to realize that most of them are clowns, and try my damndest to stay out of it...as you can see, sometimes I fail miserably.

Agreed. At the beginning of each fall I get TN football fever so hope on the board to discuss something that I've enjoyed following since childhood. However, after a couple weeks I am reminded why I keep telling myself I will not waste time on forums. The amount of negativity and even abject stupidity displayed by too many is a real drag. Yes, TN is down worse than we ever have, but instead of finally relishing in the fact we have an AD that will sincerely support the program and help it succeed and a coach that is not completely clueless, people want to harp on every negative. Social media truly brings the worst out in people and demonstrates how miserable so many people truly are.

At 30, I do not share Guccis opinion. Alabama is a rivalry. They still consider it a rivalry. If they didnt, they wouldn't smoke cigars after a win. History matters. This game is bigger than Gucci and his/my generations limited exposure.

No offense Gucci but your attitude is a Butch Jones attitude. Don't be a loser. Also, your limited experience with this game does not overrule a century of tradition. It is not hard to realize. You need to humble yourself.

My son is 12 and has not seen us be so much as competitive in any game save 1. He hates Bama and respects the tsio but mostly because they embarrass us and half his school (near Nashville) is Bama bandwagon fans. I respect all the thoughts on what the game represents but the streak is so long we are losing a generation and you cannot blame them.

Rivalries transcend records. I hated Bama when we were beating them, I hate them now.

How many recruiting classes do you think it takes Pruitt to compete for the east? I am going to say 2. This year and next. I do worry how Mullen is already progressing at UF though.

While I do believe in "to be the best, you gotta beat the best", I admit, it's a tough way to rebuild.
It's our first fall and attempt to rise again since the SEC became THE SEC.

Our own fault though, hire another real coach after Fulmer and we're 2nd at worst the last umpteen years.
