Good points but 2 things to add
1. U Michigan and UT are about equal in overall history and program power ... except for the one time we played them the game was very far from equal
2001 Citrus Bowl Tennessee 45 Michigan 17
the game wasn't even as close as the score
2. about the PPV issue....All UT games not on "national TV" are on ESPN 360. Invest in projector to hook up to you computer for 100" VOL action on your den wall

While our recent history is mirrored almost; two long time coaches forced out, then a failed 'experiment', then a safe but not as known hire, plus our NC's being back to back. My Michigan Arrogance must point out that our over all history is a bit farther apart:
1. Michigan: 877-304-38
2. Texas: 845-321-34
3. Notre Dame: 837-291-42
4. Nebraska: 827-341-41
5. Ohio State: 819-308-53
6. Alabama: 813-316-43
7. Penn State 812-351-43
8. Oklahoma: 796-305-53
9. Tennessee: 783-333-55
10. USC: 774-307-54
And yes, you did beat the hell out of us in 01, but I should point out that you should of been playing for the NC had you not messed up the SEC title game. I will take a little comfort in NCAA tourny game though

Hoke is doing a surprisingly good job at recruiting. Kudos to him. He might succeed in bringing Michigan back to relevancy. But what's with comparing records? Here in the SEC we play real football. We boast the last 5 NCs. We are constantly referred to as the most powerful football conference. While Michigan fans dream of a return to the Rose Bowl, Vols dream of a return to the NC game. Even down as we are, I feel confident we could compete in the Big Ten. I can't say the same for Michigan in the SEC.
