We are very fortunate Memphis has never been able to sneak their way into a P5. If they had the money to compete, with their easier admissions and recruiting base, they would be a pain in our backside. People in West TN are closer to Panama City Beach than they are to Knoxville. But fortunately, the Tigers have never given them a consistent winner to support.
In many ways, that's just a narrative. If it was about who had the best run, most committed athletic department, Vandy wouldn't have won a game in 10 years.The reason the question is even relevant is because of the prevailing incompetence at UT at all levels from administration down to the coaching staff.
NoWith Vandy owning us the last few years, the new generation only knowing a UT team that loses to Vandy, and Vandy being in the heart of Nashville where almost everyone moving in is from another part of the country and holding no emotional ties to the past or clinging onto stories of the good old days......
Is there a chance that if things do not change in the next few years, that Vandy becomes the new UT and the Vols are left by the side of the road?
Vandy will not become TENN, but if the Pruitt hire does not work out, Tenn will become another Vandy. This year there were 20 - 30K empty seats for several games. People move from the stands, to watching at home, to just checking for the score. Name a team winning 6, 7, and 8 games a year that sells out.
It’s a valid question....
A lot of boo or gifs but facts are facts.
Vandy in heart of city with 2 million plus metro and growing fast with out of staters.
Much easier to get to stadium.
Winning record over UT lately.
Bowl games to actually go to.
I am not saying now but in 10 years if things don’t change and Vandy starts getting better there could easily be a fan flip.
