ESPN defense poll, Morons!

[TheGimp]

Look on the front page of the college football poll. Guess what team is missing, the '39 Tennessee defense that shut out EVERY team they played.

Except the bowl game that year.

Espn hates us..:whistling:

 

[tvolsfan]

No one wants to vote on teams from the 30's that didn't even win the national championship for best team ever. If a team loses, they aren't the best team ever.

Edit, looked at the wrong thing.

 

[VolTSX23]

Geez, Why does ESPN always do this to us?

 

[GAVol]

I think the '38 team only allowed 1 or 2 scores all year and Colgate also pulled off an undefeated, untied, unscored upon year as well, and they didn't make the poll either.

Somebody just didn't research this poll very well.

They just threw darts blindfolded and behind their backs to determine the poll teams.

Seriously. These teams from the 20's and 30's. A present day JV High School team with their starting QB and best Wide Reciever hurt could beat a team any where before 1940.

Please give me some insight, big guy. Of why what I said was so retarded.

 

[vols kick balls]

the whole thing was.

It's not true. Most high schools rely heavily on the running game, just like these teams from the old days. A UT team from the 1940's would run over any high school team playing in TN right now.

So you don't agree with what I said or what. If your going to give such a strong statement about something get a little deeper than "just because".

 

[Big Vol Nasty]

So your telling me the pre-1940 college teams that features offensive linemen that tipped the scale at 200 could run over lets say a Maryville Rebels team that (I don't know them personally) smallest starting O-Lineman tips the scales at 250-260.

You think a bunch of 14 and 15 year olds who havent even developed completely phisicaly could beat a national championship caliber team from pre 1940? that to me is retarted.

Yes. Thats what I think.

Yes. Thats what I think.

I am speechless.

The rules of football were a little different and thus the linemen were smaller. Big guys weren't effective back then. Even so, I think a national championship running attack would have a lot of success against an undisciplined high school team.

Big guys weren't effective back then?? You know who Doug Atkins is? Neyland brought him in because of his size and he flourished in the game. Don't tell me big guys didn't matter. Now Doug Atkins would be just another guy in football.

Doug Adkins played in the early fifties.

Can you show me where I said undisciplined?

 

[Big Vol Nasty]

Doug Adkins played in the early fifties.

Okay? and I guess he'd been uneffective in 1940 and before?

High school football teams are undisciplined compared to college teams. That's a pretty widely accepted belief.

 

[vols kick balls]

90 percent of the jv teams in the country are so undisciplined its rediculous to watch and usualy dont have more that one decent(if that) qb so that would limit them strictly to the ground. YOU ARE WRONG.
