On the other hand, if Vandy had 4 losing seasons in a row, it would just be the norm.

Exactly! It wouldn't be remotely newsworthy because it's so expected. Tennessee needs to address fixing their issues as opposed to mocking Vanderbilt's past so that they can continue to have superior seasons to the 'Dores, while Vanderbilt needs to try and somehow sustain and improve upon their relative success in recent years.

A lot better since we are staring down a top 5 recruiting class with a coach wh has won EVERYWHERE he's been a HC.

Butch Jones is a great hire and the recruiting class is shaping up nicely. The next step is winning games.

This sentence begs the question about how dumb the average Louisville fan is.

Tennessee's ceiling this year is .462.

Can we agree the phrase Butch Slapped is already getting old?

I know lots of people are enamored at how creative it is but it may be best for it to die an early death.

What's your point?

I don't think you entirely understand the definition of the word "ceiling."

"Ceiling" in this situation means the best that you can achieve. As such, over the last three seasons, Louisville's ceiling was (note the past tense) .846. Tennessee's ceiling over the last three seasons, mind you, was .462.

Now, when it comes to average ceiling over the past three seasons, you are correct in saying that Louisville's average ceiling was (there we go with that tense again) .641. Tennessee's average ceiling, you ask? .432, as it turns out.

So, what's your point?

Where has Butch Jones or his staff stepped away from addressing UTs needs to mock Vandys past?

My point is, a "ceiling" is irrelevant as a stat, but you brought it into a Vol forum with no useful purpose.

What exactly is your point in bringing up ANY tense involving a "ceiling"?

Uh... to share my opinion as to the past and future futility of a football program? Sorry, I forgot that prognostication isn't allowed on this website.

Just so you know, I gave you a "like" because I love other novice sports fans who show their ignorance and you are in the "top five" on this thread. Let me explain something to you with the hope you have the ability to understand.

"Ceilings" is not the primary reason why a top recruit would pick a school to come to as it may be a minor consideration. Your argument is ridiculous. Let me give you a summary of the factors recruits consider. One, if I go to a particular school will it enhance my chances to get in the NFL? Second, who are the coaches? Do they know how to coach me so that I will be more competitive come draft day? Third, am I going to a conference that will best showcase my abilities? Fourth, does the program have a TRADITION of winning? Fifth, academically, does the college give me a good "fall back" plan?

I suggest Tennessee beats your irrelevant college hands down on every major point above, always has and always will. Sure, you may have a few years of "high ceiling" just like great programs go through bad years but THE CREAM WILL ALWAYS RISE TO THE TOP." Come back and talk to me after your college has won FIVE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS, has the best winning percentage since 1926, and has the rich TRADITION the Vols have. You sir are one ignorant dude who really needs to quit showing your total lack of knowledge of college football.

You make a really good point here! If "ignorance is bliss" you are one HAPPY dude! Please keep posting as you just confirm my opinion of the Louisville fan base!

... what argument? I'm not making any argument; I'm simply pointing out what your ceiling has been the past three seasons (fact), what Louisville's ceiling as been the past three seasons (fact), that Louisville has had a higher ceiling than Tennessee the past three seasons (fact) and that Louisville's realistic ceiling this year is higher than Tennessee's ceiling (opinion).

I've said nothing about recruits choosing schools. But, if you're going to bring coaches into it, please remember that Louisville's coach turned down the "TRADITION-LADEN" Tennessee Volunteers to remain a Cardinal.

Tennessee has six (not five, but I'll forgive you this error since you're not harping on about college football knowledge or anything. Oh, wait.) national titles... yes. That's a fact. Tennessee has a rich history of being a powerhouse. That's a fact. I'm not here to dispute facts.

I'm here to wager that this season isn't going to go quite as well for Tennessee as you'd like to imagine. Good luck with the cream rises approach, though. Minnesota probably thinks the same thing.

Like I said you are one ignorant dude! You didn't understand a thing I pointed out above. I am getting to the point of thinking you are simply stupid in which case "never argue with an idiot" applies. Please don 't prove me correct!

One other thing, some people argue 5 NCs some argue 6 and some even argue 7 but I was just trying to give your lower tier program a goal to shoot for. Excuse me for trying to explain something to someone like you.

I think Chollie turned UT down because he was told Clint Hurtt couldnt come. There were probably other factors, but Clint's his ace.

I'm pretty sure I both understood your post and responded to it quite well.

Your post didn't have much of a point other than to say that I don't understand football and remind me that Tennessee used to be good, granted, but I did the best with what I was given.

So, of what am I ignorant again? Tennessee's football history that you couldn't even accurately recall? Louisville's Sugar Bowl win last year and likely Top 10 preseason ranking? Charlie Strong not being in Knoxville? Enlighten me.

I don't think that Charlie Strong is at Louisville for the long haul. I hope that I'm wrong, but I just don't see it despite the ACC move and the recent success.

I think he wants to jump to a bigger ship, and figures that possibly doing some crazy damage in a weak conference this year and maybe doing something ridiculous in January makes him a lot more appealing to a top-flight football program.
