Why does ESPN hire such numskulls?

You really don't want me to post the factual numbers do you?

UT's record against UF since 1976 is 7 - 27.
UT has no (0) Heisman winners -- UF has 3
UT has 1 NC -- UF has 3
UT has won the SEC 4 times since 85 -- and two of those 85 and 90 came when the team with the best record UF was on probation.
If not for the probation effect UT would have 2 -- let that sink in -- SEC titles
Even during UT's best years UT could not defeat UF even with Peyton.

Go ahead and call me names. Volume and threats never win debates.

Tennessee has 6 national titles to Florida's 3, though.

Hate to break it to you but the average college football fan isn't 60 years old.
To the 20 to 45 year olds UT is positioned with the likes of the middle of the road P5 programs. Keep in mind a 45 year old only graduated college 22 years ago. To the average fan (age 20 to 45ish) UT falls squarely with KY, Purdue, NC State, etc.

Also UF football really launched in 1982 - 37 years ago. For those of working our way toward 60 the time frame feels most recent but to a 45 year-old, 37 years ago this fan was 8 years old. This person doesn't give a rats ass about football before this time frame.

I love UT and want nothing more than for UT to do well. But the average UT fan is just lost in the days past and just can't be objective.
Trying expressing an alternate opinion and you'll get your head chomped off.

Just stop. I took a year's worth of post-graduate courses at U of Texas in Austin, but I don't give a rats a$$ if they win or lose or fall off a cliff or whatever. You just can't mix orange blood with that ugly hood pimp blue. If you could somehow attain an overview, then you'd finally see that you're just trolling our site. Nobody, aside from your NCFisher buddy, takes you seriously. Go away now, and let your kids cheer for their more relevant school while you hunt for a bar full of gayduhs.

Listen guys. I think we are ALL well aware that espn is going to dump on Tennessee at every opportunity. And If I ever get LOST and end up in BRISTOL Conn, Ima return the favor.

We'll just have to live with that. 50 years is a considerable time. Yes, there are some years in there that you get past both Alabama and Florida, occasionally. They left out Urban Meyer and Nick Saban. I would have left out "Since Neyland".

How about '64, '73, '75, '77, and '78?

Bama won both polls in '64, the Coaches poll in '73, and the AP in '78. Those are the organizations that awarded national championships at the time, and every single team that has ever been awarded either claims the titles bestowed.

Bama doesn't claim '75 or '77, and I have never suggested that they do so (despite getting screwed in '77).

I spew truth. Sometimes it hurts.
Having graduated from both institutions and having multiple graduate degrees from UTK, and currently writing checks to UT for kids makes me uniquely qualified to offer my opinion.

I know my some of posts are less-than-favorable toward UT but when opinion only it is what it is and I won't get into pissing matches.
Unfortunately the numbers are what they are when comparing UT to UF and there's nothing left to dispute in facts.
You should start a thread with just this info and have Freak sticky it. Assuming he believes it to be worthy.

My fandom in times past has leaned toward my undergraduate, fraternity experiences of UF.
However, the numbers are what they are and UT just doesn't compare well to UF in the modern era, namely the last 35 years.
In other words to cheatin Charley Pell era

Bama only won from obvious reason...cheating,cheating and cheating. Cub bear bryant was notorious as a bum and a cheat. He hated people of color until they showed they could help him win. Look it up if your really interested in facts.

Since 1982,
UK, Purdue, and NC St have a combined 1 outright conference championship. None of those 3 have won a NC.
NC State is the only one of the 3 remotely close (and its over 50) to UT in wins during that span. UT has won roughly 115 more games than Purdue and UK have won.

UT has won 302 games, 5 SEC championships and 1 NC.

So no, they don't fall in the same category as any of those schools.

But "I love UT and stuff"

Lol.
