Were the Vols cursed in 1999 for disturbing a Cherokee burial mound?

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Theory: after winning the 1998 BCS NC, The University of Tennessee disturbed a Cherokee burial mound on campus, and UT football has been in decline ever since. : CFB

Do we need to spiritually cleanse the campus and make amends?

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Nah

 

[jpope9]

Great, now we're the Chicago Cubs.....

 

[allvol81]

Now we know where all these peace pipes have come from that have been tripping all our players up over the last 15 years

 

[FleeceItOut]

Dude no, just no

 

[BennisDrewer]

Well at least we finally figured it out...Time to get that old lady from poltergeist in Knoxville!

 

[MedicT]

No, the curse was self imposed on Nov. 2, 2008. It had nothing to do with Native American burial sites.:whistling:

 

[Volatility]

No. That being said, let's not go near any Indian burial ground.

I didn't realize that Hitler went to Vanderbilt. Learn something everyday.

Just to be safe, take Mike Hamilton, Susan Martin, and Jimmy Cheek to the top of Machu Picchu and offer them up to the football gods as payment.

Please tell me that doesn't involve taking their clothes off.

One of my golfing buddies says. The wind always blows in his face because he disturbed a burial mound.

The Gods would ask for a full refund.

You know what? At this point in time, I'd try anything if it could help us win again..

Didn't Cathy Bates character on The Blind Side warned Michael Oher about this?

 

[Volfan2012]

We were cursed the day we got Hamilton and Cheeks gladly one of them is gone.

She said the body farm was under Neyland stadium.

Well, he also called the 1998 BCSNCG

 

[armchair]

Well, he also called the 1998 BCSNCG

for the offense in '98. The '99 team was THE most talented UT team in the modern era--there were at least six players on that team who had good NFL careers, as I recall. The team was loaded--and we lost four games. Fulmer and Sanders were outstanding Vols but not exactly the sharpest minds in football. They never quite realized that your play-calling can't be predictable.
