I'm tired of the NegaVols & Sunshine Pumpers!

Tennessee: 804 wins, 357 losses, 51 ties ==> .684 win percentage

Clemson: 697 wins, 450 losses, 44 ties ==> .606 win percentage

Thanks! I thought UT has like 830 all time wins. I just checked clemson and I see 721 wins. Im including bowl wins.

My point is clemson is a 6 win team historically in 120 seasons and Dabo avg wins is 10 wins in 8.5 seasons. This shows it doesn't matter what history says....you can exceed it with the right ppl.

Tennessee has the 8th most total wins. Teams ahead of them ... Michigan, Alabama, Nebraska, Penn State, Texas, Notre Dame, and Oklahoma. No team has reached 1000 wins yet.

I believe we are 9th. Ohio St has more wins than UT all time. USCw is 10th last time I checked

I'm not disagreeing, but how do you (we) know you have the "right people", who are those "right people" ( HC, Assistants, Athletic Director, Chancellor etc. all of the above...) and when is enough time to give any, and or all of those people to know if they are "right"?

Ok so I've been on Volnation for four years now and apparently I've been considered a big time "Sunshine Pumper" cause I support my team with a positive attitude. On the other hand, some posters are considered "Negavols" if they're really negative about our team whether they don't like some of the players or the coaches. I honestly feel Volnation would be so much simple if we all respected each other's opinion but still be considered true UT fans.

Uh, well, welcome to this world right now buddy. It's that way every where you turn. One perpetually stuck in the past, the other perpetually stuck in the future and never in reality will the two meet. Is it reality or virtual reality? and who is imitating who? Nobody knows any more.

Well FL gave Zook 3 yrs. He went 8-5, 8-5, and 7-4 before getting fired. 6-2, 6-2, and 4-4 in SEC. With great administration they found a great coach in Urban.

Now the problem starts way above CBJ. Maybe that finally gets fixed. But what I witnessed the last 2 yrs of botching the East twice..I don't have blind faith in CBJ. Im in the camp that he has pretty much peaked. If and when CBJ can get over that hump....then I will pump a lil shine and tickle ears

Fair enough, and I think we are closer in agreement than I first thought.

The bold was gonna be my main point.:thumbsup:
