ACC

[Smokey X]

I know this thread might ruffle some feathers but I’ve thought for awhile now we would be better served moving to the ACC. We would’ve been the second best team in the ACC this year really and would be right at the top every year with Clemson. Knoxville is pretty close to ACC country as well and we border NC, and Virginia so natural annual rivalries with Va. Tech and Virginia along UNC and NC st. would naturally be formed.

This is a joke right

Come on, Man !?!?!?!?!?!

 

[volmanjr]

this thread needs a Zannax

 

[DoyleMcOrange]

Nah, we should go Independent.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Nah, we should go Independent.

And make the rest of the SEC richer. We would lose 30-40-million in revenue each year.

Think about it and it makes some pretty good sense. We would be a annual top 3 team in the ACC. When was the last time we were that in the SEC?

NEXT YEAR

 

[Vol865]

lets move this thread to TOS where crap like this should reside

I looked up the records of TN over the years here: List of Tennessee Volunteers football seasons - Wikipedia

By my reasoning these are the years TN was elite:
1938-1946
1950-1951
1956
1967-1972
1989-1998 (greatest sustained run in TN history)
2001

That adds up to 29 years of elite status, and almost 50 years of less than elite status. Take away the last 20 years (looking at our record up till 2001) then TN was elite about half the time. Actually better than I thought. I think my point still stands though, the run in the 1990's was the greatest sustained run in history, it is a bad idea to make comparisons to that time because it was not the standard for much of TN history.


What do the records of the teams you mentioned have to do with TN going to the ACC? I also made my point very clear, if you do not see it I suggest that you go back and read my posts again carefully.

Tennessee during that span was better. Winningest team during that 85 yr stretch in college football.

 

[Negan]

I have a little something for the OP for suggesting this idea....

 

[jackaro]

Tennessee during that span was better. Winningest team during that 85 yr stretch in college football.

When you look at that stretch as a whole I agree. I guess I look at things a little different, I was looking at the individual years.

The only SEC East school that it might be logical would be if South Carolina went back to the ACC
