When is the last time we had a very highly ranked recruit, who we had zero crystal balls for UT pick us? I know it has happened, just can't remember who in the last couple years.

i mean. i get people questioning stability, rightfully so. But, its not as if Tennessee is gonna go get a slacker. the ship is righted.

There will never be another Dooley hire. there would be riots.

I see we are in our usual 2nd place for a star recruit. How frequently does this happen?

Yep, UT never lands a "star" recruit.

I wouldn't deposit the check on this one just yet at the bank.

It's UT and FSU. LSU is on the outside looking in. FSU is selling the Dalvin Cook replacement scenario. They're telling him look what he did, and you can have the same success. CJG is a good recruiter also and has been to Clinton in the past week or two. Now, for us, his family has came to campus numerous times in the past 2 years. Far more than anywhere else (FSU). There's no need for an Official because he's seen what he needs to see and his family has also. It isn't a big deal as some are making it out to be that he's not taking an Official visit to Knoxville. He's playing it close and there are no leaks as to where he's going. Our shot is as good as any, but if CRG goes elsewhere, you can cancel Christmas on this one. CRG has got us to where we are now with Akers, and Akers trusts CRG. What UT is selling is that UT "Brand". His brand starts in Knoxville.

LSU in this more than perceived, or are you giving us good news?

His post is mostly correct, LSU was in good condition but FSU has made a run recently. I haven't heard anything on Tennessee but stranger things have happened. He's a football smart kid... he knows what he wants, not surprised by FSU and LSU being at the top based on what he wants. The concern is LSU going too much to a spread... which is what he doesn't want. (I don't think that is what Canada/LSU will do but its really speculation for me to say)

So you're saying that you believe Tennessee should be considered at the same level, as a program, to FSU for the entirety of the past 5 years? You believe that, when Butch took over 4 years ago, he was on absolutely equal footing as Jimbo Fisher's FSU teams from the same time period?

Did you go into a coma circa 2001 and just wake up from it last fall?

Completely ignoring the status of each respective program during the specific time period might make you look a little bit like a troll.

Fact's is fact's we are a 8 win program do the math take away Fulmer's 15 year's and we are a 8 win team most year's.:thud:

Sorry but he did. He can call poster liars all he wants but the mirror is a nice place to start for him.

No need for a mirror your just too stupid to understand the difference between being traditionally an elite program and currently, at this point in time an elite program. No lying on my end you little weasel. You made a dumb statement per usual. I called you on it. And you did what troublemaking cowardly pieces of trash do. You changed your argument multiple times, deflected to other arguments that weren't even being made, and finally projected your personal character flaws on the person you were struggling to keep up with. Nice little parlor trick gramps, but it doesn't work with me slick. Now go do us all a favor and headbutt a brick wall for awhile.

I feel bad for you really so I am going to help you out here. You really should just say this.

Sandune:
"By my definition of an elite program there is only one right now and it's Bama. Clemson and Ohio state can join them this year if they win it all. Fsu was elite but just making their 5th New Years 6 bowl game in 6years isn't enough for them to remain elite because they lost 3 games and gave up 60pts to a team that Kentucky beat. FSU and Tennessee really are very close programs."


If you state your opinion that way maybe you can have a leg to stand on here.

Saying it's an uphill battle and their are more questions about the stability of the program Than normal sure sounds like backtracking to me.

It's not backtracking. It's giving information. Volquest has always said take the field.

You love to think you've caught Volquest failing but you swing and miss every single time.
