And never will be again. Programs fall, some don't ruse again. I do believe that time is upon us, and has been for years. If this was said in 2011, it'd be considered too soon.

But is it now? We have had a losing record every year since 2008, minus a 7-6 record in 2009. Woop-de-doo.

Face it, we've fallen and won't rise again. The sooner we stop thinking it's 1994 instead of 2014, the sooner you can all be happy again. Cheers.

Please provide proof that we will never be elite again. Do you realize how stupid your statement is?

If you think we have fallen for good, then why are you still a fan? It's Nancy's like you who give the Tennessee fan base a bad name.

I would really like you to look at my first sentence. Please try.

Exactly how much historical perspective do you have as a Vol fan? I have 47 years and I can tell you that, from 1969-1985, we suffered through 16 agonizingly long years without an SEC championship team. The '85 Sugar Vols whetted our collective appetite for what would become the longest sustained period of excellence (1989-2001) during the modern era of Tennessee football history. We are again mired in a 16-year drought but one in which Butch is clearly engaged in a major process of rearmament.

I most certainly do not share your skepticism. In those 47 years, I have witnessed every program in the country go through peaks and valleys. The programs that are regarded as traditional powers are considered such because their peaks are higher and more sustained and their valleys typically are less severe and of shorter duration. I have every confidence that Tennessee will return to its rightful place among those elite powers once again. However, the best way to fulfill your prophecy of doom-and-gloom is to adopt a kneejerk revolving-turnstile approach to the head coaching position wherein we fire the incumbent every three or four years.

Guess I'm the only one expecting to see a Frankie Goes To Hollywood video.... Let's see who remembers this without Google or YouTube :)
