Won the East and went to a bowl last year. Cocky? Not all of us.
Ok, I usually do not waste my time with other teams fans that troll other teams boards but, ...
First of all be real proud of turning around your season last year with avoiding the wests best.
First, I have seen every SEC team play at Knoxville, except Mizz & A&M. I will say that Georgia fans are not really annoying. However I see your team as an underacheiving bunch year in & year out, let me explain.
1.Your state produces so much high school talent, for you not to have ten wins every year is pathetic. You SHOULD be able to pick all the prized fruit, but you mostly get all the lower hanging stuff. Coaches will invade your state & pick some real gems. The other teams do more with that talent, & do a better job of developing it.Tennessee does not have the amount of quality players you do year in & out, Yet our traditional draw, & history overall gets us out of state guys. If you didn't have all that fruit there, you would be a celler dweller.
2.Mark R is an average coach as partially explained in #1
ANY average coach that has the in state talent & works for the largest football college in your state, could win 10 games a year. Yet you struggle! His time is almost up. Now with Fulmer & Meyer gone He is going to be the top coach in the SEC with crime rate. He has been here long enough & knows that he has to let stuff slid cuz he MUST win every year or he is out. He WILL BE gone the next 6-7win season, book it. Coaches tell recruits this. He offers late, or poorly evaluates some players. You should be happy you got so many great players in that state cuz their talent is better than his coaching.

You are scared of what is soon coming, thus why you are here.
