How spiteful are you?

I would spread the rumor that saban and kiffin are gay, abortion loving, and for gun control.

Amen.

I never had anything against SC. I don't care about their coach , but my dislike for Alabama is greater than what he did in his one year here. Don't get me wrong , I will never forget what happend , but I'm over it. Been over it for awhile. Most of you need to let it go.

I hate everything about the color crimson. I hate elephants. I hate anything and everything about Bama: the state, the fans, these trees, the air- everything. The only time I would want them to win anything is if the prize was a ragingly nasty case of herpes on steroids.

Agreed on Kiffin, too. He left for the only college job he would leave for, imo. The whole deal sucked because I really think he is a really good college coach and even better recruiter. I don't buy the whole 'he would have us receiving the death penalty' line. There were no sanctions from his time here, there was no probation, and look at what he is doing at SC. He's killing it recruiting and has them primed for a shot at the National Championship all while major scholarship losses, Jrs and Srs being allowed to transfer, and a 2 year bowl ban that he's been fighting. The guy can coach and run a program, period. Like I said, it sucks royally that it happened to us, and I was as mad about it as everyone except the mattress burners, but I'm over it. Funny how many posters that scold folks for talking about the past are often the ones that have a raging...you know....about bad-mouthing Kiffin calling him all kinds of "cutesy" "witty" names that end up making the poster look like a petulant child throwing a tantrum because their mom wouldn't buy them candy at the Walmart checkout line instead of cutting down Kiffin.

Besides, those that fuss the most about Kiffin can't for one second pretend that they wouldn't do the same thing in the same situation if UT came calling. The main thing I didn't like was Orgeron calling our recruits. But, I'm over that, too.

I agree. Auburn gets it too for being in the same state as Tuscaloosa.

So, you're saying what he's facing is almost as bad as what Dooley's facing? I mean, it's no Marshall tragedy.

I didn't like what Orgeron did either, but to be honest, had Tennessee hired him two weeks before signing day, I would want him to go out and get the best for Tennessee.

The odds on pick is for SC versus LSU in the title game. Based on returning talent, this makes sense. Like it or not both teams are absolutely loaded and SC gets to feast on a relative down year in the PAC 12.

I really believe Bama will lose a few this year, maybe even in Knoxville if we have some positive momentum and a mediocre rushing attack.

We should all move on from the Kiffin debacle. He sure has.

I think some people missed my intention.

I wasn't saying I would give up all titles for them to not win titles. I was giving an example of my premise.

Personally, I would give up drinking for a year (which is a big deal to us college students) to see bama or florida have a horrible year. And I would go celibate for a while if it meant we won a title.

If it's Bama and USC in the title game I hope Kiffin beats that Bama ass with a smirk on his face all night.

Yeah. Not approaching Marshall levels but quite challeging nonetheless.

I see your point on Orgeron. It's still unsettling to me, but your statement is true.

I will take a 2nd championship in football, one in Basketball, or one in Baseball while I'm still alive before selling out to my beloved Tennesse Volunteers. Who the hell would give up UT winning National Championships just to watch the enemy lose more. "F" THAT! I'm rolling the dice on Tennessee 'till I die. Those teams that I despise can win every other damn championship they want until it's Tennessee's time to deliver the pain, punishment, and heartbreak to them. Teams that we have been getting rolled by in recent years, will definitely get rolled by us in the future. Go Big F****** Orange!!!:machgun:

Damn I'm pump up right now!

That's the thing. We aren't competitive. The teams we hate are competitive. Not sure why we should suddenly have their back come bowl season or when they play out of cenference. The only thing a victory for that team helps is themselves. We don't get some huge recruiting advantage because Alabama and LSU played for the national title or a random SEC team wins some big ooc game. The more they start to lose and the more we start winning will be better for Tennessee than anything else because the more everyone else wins, the less attention UT gets from media and recruits.

Obviously we aren't competitive. But when we are, it needs to be because we rose to the challenge, not because they started sucking.

Granted we get less attention if our rivals win, but how much less attention would we get if no one respected our conference. If no one respected the SEC, then even if Tennessee started winning serious recruits wouldn't care.

This is why Boise State had the #54 recruiting class this year and 5-7 Tennessee had the #17 class. People want to play in the SEC. We can thank our rivals for people wanting to play in our conference because we are contributing very little to that lately. This is why I, without a doubt, will always pull for our rivals to keep making the SEC look good.

If you want another example on how much weight a strong conference carries, go ask Hawaii how they felt about being denied a spot in the National Championship game the year they went undefeated.

We haven't been competitive, but we were a beast in the past. It's just a matter of time bro

Am I reading this right? You'd be ok with UT never winning another title as long as Bama and UF didn't either? I'd rather let UF and Bama win 2 apiece if we can just win one...thats how bad I want one. Your idea seems pretty ill-conceived.

In the few short months that I have been a VN member, NorthKnoxVol and UTInfantile have posted some terrible threads. This has them all beat. I don't put posters on ignore, but I do threads.....this one is gone.

Oh, to answer your question, I would cut my left one off because I don't like my right one.......SFT.

I think the world has more than enough ugliness and spite in it so I try not to contribute to that. I TRY, didn't say I'm always successful at it but I do keep trying. So I see football as a game and accept that MY team(s) don't always win then first Believe, then Hope for a better next season. If we aren't playing in postseason, I don't watch any games. So whatever other teams are doing in them doesn't mean anything to me. I either just get a good book and read it or find something productive to do, visit the elderly people I know at nursing homes, drop in or call or Skype a homebound friend, that sort of thing cause there's life beyond football.

The price I would pay to knock Alabama off their thrown would be the price Jon Gruden required. I don't mind seeing rivals suceed or win championship as long as we can hold our own. Like a few years ago when both UK and UT were in the elite 8. As for Lane Kiffin, I am in the minority here but I would love to see him beat Alabama in the National Championship. He is a very good coach who left when his dream job opened up. How many people here would leave a good program for Tennessee if the opportunity was there?

Tennessee looks better when we are competitive in the worlds best conference. Which is better: Win 9 games playing in the best conference, or win 9 games playing in the worst conference?

id rather win 13 in a bad conference (fill in ACC, Big Least, etc) and have a natnl title than win 9 in the SEC, but that may just be me

You're missing the point. The ACC and the Big East are still reputable enough conferences that you can go to the National Championship with 12 wins. You seem to want everyone in our conference to lose. If everyone in our conference loses, our strength of schedule drops. If our strength of schedule is too low, even an undefeated season doesn't get us to the National Championship Game.
