I think someone should send that board the famous "Top 10 Reasons Tennessee Is Superior To Alabama."
The problem is hat, that we're not. Not anymore.
Personally, I wouldn't fart in Saban's face if he needed CPR...well, maybe I would...and I think he is exactly what Bama deserves. But he's
winning, and winning strong. Bama thumped us last year, and this year might be even worse.
Saban seems to get the most out of his talent. Fulmer seems to get the most out of the other team's talent. Seriously...UCLA?
Auburn by two? By four over NIU?
If I'm North Texas, I'm begging UT to put us on next year's schedule.
If Tennessee is superior to Bama, it ain't on the football field. Before Saban, yes. Now, no.
A lot of things have changed in the SEC over the last ten years. One thing has not.
Tennessee has won zip-squat-nothing in that span in the SEC.
Forget the SEC East. It's a divisional non-title. A banner with no meaning. It means we got the privilege of getting beaten by the SEC Champion.
I'm tired of "privilege". I want results. On the national stage. For what we're paying, we should be in the hunt every year.
Here's my proposal: Results-based salary. Pay Fulmer $100,000 for every win. $150,000 for an SEC Championship. $200,000 for a bowl win. $400,000 for a NC.
Think of how much money we would have saved over the last 10 years.
go vols.
