SOME of the people on this board think that an SEC championship is their birthright as a Vol fan. They cite our big stadium , rich history , committed fanbase ( many of whom should be) and rake Jones over the coals cause we are not there yet. They conveniently overlook that Fla, LSU and Bama have won MULTIPLE ncS SINCE 98 when we did. They have just as much money, fan support , pay their coaches as much if not more than we do. Fla,LSU, and Texas A&M all lost at least 4 games this year and their fans , though unhappy, are not ready to panic. grow up and deal with the fact that Sabans run at Bama is a once every 40-50 year freak occurrence and as long as he remains there, no one can unseat him and the redneck Tide . As Clay Travis has said" the other 13 teams would be better off if they each gave 3 million to a fund used to bribe Saban not to coach" Short of that - we will all be playing for second place . Histrionics and whining are pointless. So- get off Butchs back and remember how the Dooley saga found new and unique ways to make our football lives painful. Oh the humanity.

Nah, I think I'll complain until Butch wins the SEC or is fired. Which do you think will come first?

I LIKE your attitude. I really do. I was for hanging Butch after the Sc game , so I can see how people get so angry. But - who you gonna get? Even Petrino ( he of the bad karma) lost badly at seasons end. There aint no Supercoaches out there that would come here and endure the criticism and pissin and moaning from our fans. Not gonna happen.

Did you just say that lsu lost 4 games this year but didn't panic? Uh...they fired their coach this season. After less than a quarter of the year complete. And that guy by the way averaged about 9 wins a year. I think expecting Butch to win the weakest sece with the best talent we've had in a decade wasn't all that crazy. I'd say we are pretty "real"

LSU fired their coach this year, Texas A&M coach is considered on the hot seat, and Florida's coach is only in his second year and has won back to back division titles.

Point taken- I have been drinking - but I was still WRONG. AND , LOOK how that panic made them worse off- Fisher turned down 6.5 million and made them look like fools. Still, I was wrong It happens.

I think i made reference to a SEC championship. I wanted to win the east- but the beating we would have suffered in Atlanta would have been epic and very hard to forget. We should have won the EAST even with the injuries, I agree.

I hate this holier than thou crap. Most fans don't expect to win an SEC championship every year. What we want is a competitive team. We get pissed at Butch because he finds ways to squander what should be a talented team and underachieve. We had the East won, then we lost to South Carolina and Vandy, two teams we should have beaten. He recruits talent, but he has problems developing that talent. If mediocrity makes you happy, then by all means, enjoy it, but don't expect other Tennessee fans to accept mediocrity as a given. We can be great, but if you don't expect greatness, you'll never achieve it.

3*13 equals 39 million. Great idea. I think it is a great idea. OR, pay someone 500k and have him taken out and save the money.














Before everyone goes PC nuts, I am joking.

That guy at A&M (Sumlin) has a unique contract. They will have to pay him EVERY PENNY OF IT in the event he is fired for anything other than moral turpitude . Moral turpitude is most of what Kiffin engaged in after practice daily- young girls, DUIs , etc. I think Sumlin's still $25 million US dollars - serious money even to Texans.

The lord works in mysterious ways- Still wish we had won the east. Maybe this year. in 98 after Manning left, almost no one gave us a chance to win the NC. Ya never know. I think we were #11 preseason in the 98 Coaches poll.
