But right now Tennessee is going down while South Carolina is going up. Tennessee has had under 100,000 for how many straight games now? while USC continues to sell out. The atmosphere thing is really an opinionated question, but I promise you USC has had a better atmosphere in games this year than UT just because of the results each team has had. We've got a new weightroom and lockerroom on par with UT and Florida, etc.
And yes back when UT was good they put plenty of guys in the NFL but for the past 3 years or so USC has been just as good in this area if not better.
Giles probably cares more about all this than how good UT was in the 90's. There is a lot of optimism around the south carolina program and a lot of pessimism around the UT program. Recruits look at that.
Man...you really are taking your shots while you have the chance aren't you...
News flash chief...we won the East last year...which is one more time than your school has ever won it...all you have to hang your hat on is the 8 wins you're going to get this year which is the pretty much the best season you all have ever had even though it will end without any type of championship
And we've had a first round pick in each of the past 3 drafts including 2 in the 07' draft...so if you're trying to pretend you're an informed fan you need to read up a little better before you come on here and act like you know what you're talking about...
Go ahead and eat it up...you all have had a better year than us...but keep in mind your saying that while we're going through the worst year we've ever had...so that's kind of like bragging that you out ran someone at the Special Olympics...
With the kind of money we're going to dish out we're going to get the best coach that's available...and that kind of coach will have us back at the top in a matter of a 2-3 years tops....
And if you think this is the start of an extended run your team is going to have against us then get real...your coach has 2 more years in him tops and then you all will go right back to being as irrelevant as you were before him...
And if you all do end up landing Giles then that's just fine....we have another RB that's rated higher than him who has stated he will wait until the next coach is named before making a final decision...and when that coach is the best coach available he will keep his commitment and you will end up with the RB that's playing second fiddle to Oku right now...
So congrats on your "impressive" victory over the worst team we've ever had....and congrats on your "enviable" 8-win season
Whoa, hold on there. You're making a lot of assumptions. Lots of money=coach that will continue dynasty? Theres no guarentee in that.
2 more years tops? Wanna put money on it?
So Oku is better and will have a better career just because Rivals ranked him ahead of Giles? Is that why Johnathan Crompton is better than Colt McCoy?

Ever heard of Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Jim Tressel....best avaliable coaches when they were hired, demanded the most money when they were hired, produced NC's or are on their way...
Obviously your never know what the results will be but I will bet you money that we get the best guy out there....no team that is currently looking for a coach offers the tradition, fanbase, facilities, and money that we will
And obviously Rivals ratings don't amount to sure fire success....but you're the one who came to our message board saying we're over and USCe is on its way up... bragging about possibly stealing a recruit from us and I was just pointing how lame that is considering that even in our worst year ever we will in all likelyhood finish ahead of USCe in recruiting...
And even if you manage to steal Giles we've got options that your sorry team would never have in the same situation

You're joking I hope....hmy:
I'm not like a UT fan. I'm not gonna try to refute every single point another fan makes. 2 out of 3 isnt enough for you?
Where were those options when you played us...?
Your best weapon in the last 4 years against UT has been Phil Fulmer. Recent success aside (for the moment), South Carolina's presence in the SEC has been a welcome addition (pronounced "automatic win") for the SEC elite. Of which UT is not currently a member, and USC has never been. Good Lord, remember when you were the #2 team in the nation, and the Citadel beat you? In Columbia?
Not much has changed. You're better than you were, and you have Spurrier as your coach, but you will always be....sadly...South Carolina.
The history of "South Carolina football" will fit on one of those pamphlets you get at South of the Border.
We'll be back. Soon. And you'll be back, soon, right where you belong. Battling Vandy for the 5th spot in the SEC East.
New SEC motto: We do chicken right.
Go Vols.
