8-4 with occasional 10-2 seasons and never dipping below bowl eligibility should be the expectation but our fanbase is delusional. Most rational people thought 8-4 this year with the potential of 9-3, maybe 10-2 if we pull an upset on the road. I don’t think a single soul expected us to beat Georgia at the time Nico transferred. Whatever derogatory term you want to use for our fanbase, I’m cool with it.

8-4 bc the other teams are (were) Bama Florida Georgia and ? year after year.

Throw in the next best west team outside of Alabama every year too.

Tennessee is such a a spoiled fan base in football. For the sake of me I can't understand why? We haven't won **** since early 2000's... Bunch of whiny ass biatches is the correct..

Just wait, it’s coming in baseball too.
Now that all the casual fans are on the bandwagon, they’ll be wanting to replace Tony V, soon.
They are just to emotionally invested and it’s unhealthy.
I’m all in on gameday and the Georgia loss admittedly took an extra day or two to get over, but my goodness they act extremely extra.

Did we not play Florida and Georgia in the 1990's year after year.? Didn't seem to have a problem winning then...

I do my fair share of whining, especially in game and in the heat of the moment, but it’s the day after a win and they are still miserable!
That must be a horrible way to live. Imagine being their family and dealing with that BS.

I was going to ask someone yesterday where the idea of ringing cowbells came from w/Ms St? I bet $100 they're arms are tired this morning from doing that. I'm too lazy
to ask google for an answer.

Ha! Georgia had some great teams, fortunately for us, Tennessee was Jim Donnan’s kryptonite.

Yea, it truly irritates me when the so called lifelong fans of a certain sport suddenly appear after winning... Now the bandwagon baseball fans are onboard all we see in game threads is continuous pissing and moaning... Judging every ,little move made by CTV...

Those (JMO) teams were closely related to being equal talent wise on each team.

They had an absolutely loaded squad at one point! I think it was one of the Hines Ward teams but don’t remember the players or the year off the top of my head.

I remember the days when mad as hell w/football games going south for UT
I'd go outside and walk around in the backyard cussing them up a storm. It
would be mostly done after losing to Bama year after year.

Phillip Fulmer era where we had top talent coming in year over year.?

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Al Wilson who was playing HS football here (Jackson) on offense & defense had college
coaches coming in from all over the country trying to recruit him to their school to
make 4 years playing there. Fulmer came here and Al Wilson, who was already raised here to be a Vols fan, didn't have to think hard on going to UT. He said "when & where
do I start coach".

Georgia was nowhere near the elite program they are now and if you think we were beating Florida every year back then you are mistaken. We only beat Florida 3 times in the 90s.

Today is the day the Cincinnati Redlegs make the playoffs!!!!!!!!

 

[VolPack22]

Are these those vaunted Georgia squads you are talking about? They weren’t much better than Tennessee during the 2010s.

Once again here's the worse call in the MS St game bringing back a TD.

Is this the part where I mute the TV and turn on the radio? That kick was so obviously wide right and the commentator was just bent on it being good and talking about the guy’s leg.
