Not true. Some really good players in Tennessee. Not sure where you get that info.
not to the extent of the big dawns in conference. Certainly not a pipeline State for other programs like LSU, Georgia, Bama, Auburn etc.

Florida owned his ***, he was never the top of the SEC East. UT had 2 great years in 97 and 98, that's it. They owned UK no denying that but UT hasn't been great minus a couple years in a very long time like the Eisenhower administration.I understand the history of Fulmer. He won football games and they were the top of the SECE when he was there.
Now they aren't.....
@morgousky are you really from Dyersburg? You stated it was a bordering county. Dyer County borders Missouri, not Kentucky.
Just learn how to read a damn map.
Team Turmoil 2?Heard Josh Dobbs' eyebrows quit the team too
We've beat down USC teams for 3 straight years. Vandy? We should NEVER lose to Vandy. They are the true doormat of the conference. Our recent wins account for around 13 combined victories. I'm sorry, I'll take it, but I won't scream and shout about it. Stoops is not guaranteed anything yet.
Again, Fulmer was losing his grip, and his winning was a result of pure cheating. They ran him off because he wasn't really producing for all of the BS they were having to dodge by the NCAA. Tennessee had a shot at several bad *** coaches but they retained Fulmer way too long. He was a snitch, and unless he was producing in big ways, they weren't going to retain him. Tennessee is no longer a power name. Big time coaches don't want to go there. They have little in state recruiting and are land locked. It's an average SEC program. Losing Fulmer didnt hurt, changing coaches is not the problem, being who they are is the problem. They just arent used to it yet.
As long as our fans don't allow 6 wins to be a measuring stick for the future, I'm fine with it this season. After that, we should expect 8 win season with a shot at 9 after a bowl win. Anything less and we arent expecting what our recourses are providing.

My dad is from Mayfield KY, and I was raised in Dyersburg, TN, a bordering county in west Tennessee. I've dealt with these A$$holes my entire life. Anyone calls me a UT fan, better hope theres an internet between us.
Well ****. I created a nice thread to trash Tennessee and spread rumours. And you chuckleheads let a troll hijack that thread to badmouth Kentucky for two pages. congratulations. Did you get the troll to change his mind? Damnit people, use the ignore button. SMDH.
We're going to beat them. Vandy could very well beat them. Hell, USCjr just beat them.Who on their remaining schedule should beat them? Who on their remaining schedule will be favored over them?
We have won 5 oout of the last 6 football games. What else can you effing expect?You're good. I just want UK to be great in both sports. I won't settle for less. Nothing pisses me off more than Uk fans begging for mediocrity.
Wait, what? UT is a "second tier" program, yet they are going to run the table with the rest of their schedule? Gotchya.Tennesse is a dead power, and I love it.
They don't have top notch recruiting in state. They were caught cheating and had to back off. Fulmer was cheating his *** off, and it's the only reason they got by like they did through the 90's and 2,000's. He was the NCAA's snitch, and they let him escape while hammering other programs, like Bama. They can't compete, in the modern day, with recruiting hot beds like Florida, LSU, Georgia, and Alabama.
Tennessee is now a second tier, South Carolina type program.
They will never be great, but fans expectations are through the roof. This guarantees they will have mad player and coach turnover until the younger generations accept the reality. They are just an average SEC program.
Eat your heart out Volwequeers.
Lets not get ahead of ourselves.....SC's true fresman QB left HS a year early, should be in HS right now.His dad coached Marcus Lattimores HS team, let Jake call the plays and they moved the ball up and fown the field! Impressive?? If you consider Jake was only in 5th grade at the time, I'd say VERY! Kid knows how to play and can spin it as well!Just like they SHOULD have beaten a horrible South Carolina team starting a freshman QB for the first time
Actually this kind of turmoil can make a team lose focus. I remember back in 2008 it was announced that Fulmer was being let go at the end of the season. Later that week, Wyoming came in as a 26 point dog to Knoxville and beat them.I understand that. But Tennessee will be favored to win out. Nothing I said is inaccurate. And as son as UK nosedives, if we do, you'll jump back on the other side of the fence, just like before. At least I'm consistent.
Maybe he is just changing cleats and getting rid of these.Via his personal Twitter page, Tennessee sophomore defensive lineman Jonathan Kongbo cryptically tweeted out this image:
Not exactly a positive sign following the tough defeat to South Carolina.
The redshirt sophomore out of Canada was regarded as the top JUCO prospect in the entire country last offseason. He signed with Tennessee over offers from Alabama, Ole Miss, USC and Florida State, and was expected to immediately bolster the Vols’ pass rush.

JPFisher don't call somebody ignorant then spell it ignant. People living in glass house shouldn't throw stones.
Fulmer's downfall began when his BFF and protector Roy Kramer stepped down as SEC Commissioner.Losing Fulmer, as the coach, didn't hurt.
Losing fulmer's cheating ways, hurt.
Do you not understand this history of Phillip Fulmer at UT? Do you not know about his cheating and snitching?
We can still save thisDang
Saw this thread last night...
..got excited when i saw 3 pages..clicked it thinking i would get a bunch of tennessee memes, photoshops and jokes.

If this is indeed true,there is probably a pretty good divide in the locker room(Hurd's friends vs coaching staff with other players caught somewhere in the middle. If you throw in all the injuries and the South Carolina loss there are likely other players that volunteer to quit. This would be worse than the situation we had with Towles/Barker/Dawson last year. I hope there is a big mess down at UT,the bigger the better.Jalen Hurd confirmed to be quitting team and transferring. All over the twitter machine this morning.
No idea about Kongbo or the rest, but when a potential All-American quits on your team, things must be really bad internally.
