Please realize that every program has ups and downs. We are down right now but it's nothing new. Some of you are positive that TN football will never rise again. You are wrong!!!! Here's some numbers:
1900-1911: only won .425% of our games
That's 12 long years of losing!
1958-1964: only won .457% of our games
That's 7 long years of losing!
1973-1982: only won .542% of our games
That's 10 long years of losing! I was here to witness it and it sucked!
On the flip side......
1926-1934: winning .864% of the games
That's 9 years of whipping ass!!
1938-1946: winning .787% of the games
That's 9 years of doing it again!!
1993-1999: winning .835% of the games
Most of us here at VN were blessed with this streak to enjoy!!!
Lately.............
2002-2009: won .621% of the time which is not nearly as bad as the first steaks I posted
2005-2009: only won .563% of the time
This is the start of a horrible stretch that is not over yet. If history means anything it will last a few more years. We have been through worse stretches than this in the past.
See a trend?? Up and down we go. We were on top looking down just a little over a decade ago. Now we look up from the basement. The end is not here!!!!!!! We will dominate again, and when we do please don't take it for granted like many of us did in the 90's!! We griped about losing 2 games per year back then and only being in the top 10 instead of the top 5 most of the time! How stupid that looks now from this point of view!!!!!
GO VOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
