If our 2007 team plays against the 1998 and 2003 teams who would win and what would be the scores? I was just wondering how ppl rate our current team agains the vols of the past!!!

I assume from the icon you mean LV bball? If it's football this will be a short thread.

I have no idea. I have yet to see the 2007 team play a single down of football.

Uh huh. And going into 1998 you knew that team would gel and go undefeated.

Actually I said they would win the NC and got laughed at (but I say it every year :)). I just don't think they match up well at all. Not knocking this current team but that was a special group in 98, both in talent and in the way they came together.

Gotcha. I think it's a bit of a stretch to say the current team would forfeit at this point though. (You even predict the current bunch to go 12-2 - pretty stong)

Why 2003? I understand the comparison to '98 but '03 wasn't exactly a great year for us....10-3 with a loss in the Chick Fila bowl...

It was a good year but chosing it to compare to this year doesn't make sense to me

Luckily, college football does not involve playing with yourself.

Er.... You know what I mean.

Also, the '07 Vols do not play the 1937 Boston Braves, the 1912 McKinley High School Hopscotch Team, or the 1973 San Francisco 49ers.

So, while you pose an interesting question in that it involves time travel (either by the team now or the team then), and also involves the equivalent of a football mirror, I'm struggling to see the value of the exercise.

well, the way i see it, its just spinning our wheels to compare teams to the past. Since 1998 the game has changed, plain and simple. We need to concentrate on the future of Vol football. We dont need to turn into a UGA fan and be like remember in 98 when we won it all... (UGA reference from when they talk about their nat'l chumpionship team) I by no means am satisfied by talking about something that happened 9-10 years ago, im hungry from something to happen now,i want them left coast homos to be beatin worse then last year, i want a beating of the dogs, i mean a beating that would make micheal vick blush. I went the swamp to be drained and painted orange. i want the tide to be beaten so bad that their family trees start to fork, i want us to walk into the GA Dome and send whoever from the west comes in home cryin like a little schoolgirl, and i want us to play them southern cal pansies, and beat them so hard, that all the people giving them tug jobs feel the beating, that is the gospel according to tapley

If you contrast our recruiting classes since '03 to the classes we had between '94 (the Manning class) and '97 (the Jamal, Deion, Cosey and Travises class) it is easy to see how we have slipped so far....Comparing what we have now to the late '90's is insulting to those guys.
