It took Fulmer cheating and Kramer protecting him to get them to the title before you actually had to play for it. Very unlikely to happen again, and certainly won't with Butch as the HC. The best part - Vol fans, deep in their hearts, know it...
Junior & Lulu agree . . .

Personally, I am not talking smack about a team that has OWNED us for my lifetime. I think it makes me look stupid and ill informed.
I understand where you're coming from, but Butch Jones isn't getting paid to beat up on Vandy & UK - he's getting paid to beat Bama, and in that he is failing miserably. Vol fans like to bask in the glory days that are very unlikely to ever return. Losing to them does chap my behind, but they deserve the ridicule that comes their way.

UT owns us and nobody can deny that, but much like Indiana basketball fans, UT football fans live in the glory days of 20 years ago and talk and act like they're still one of college football's elite programs.

TracerVol brought up basketball then got owned with the fact we won a NC and multiple final fours in that time frame. Asked about his mighty Vols football program during the same stretch he ducks the question and brings up UK football. So what has UT done football wise? Don't deflect answer the question. You compared our BB to your FB. Man up dude.
TN Football has not done much lately. They got their *** kicked Saturday. TN football is not recruiting the top class every year, KY Basketball team has. They have had the top class every year and every where that coach has been he has been caught cheating.

I agree he is getting paid to beat Bama and FL. not recruiting well enough to beat Bama.

Well, we won the NC in 2012, and have been to four Final Fours in seven years. How many BCS bowls and CFB playoff games has UT been in since 2005? I'll hang up and listen...
None. but TN Football is not getting the top recruiting class every year. Bama is.

Three of jones' four recruiting classes have been top 10 and the other was top 25. Tennessee had a top 25 class the year before he arrived as well.

Tennessee should have the talent and depth to not be dominated by Alabama. We were banged up when we played them as well and competed better.

The basketball argument is pretty lame. Much harder to win a tournament than a bowl game or four team playoff.

I know I shouldn't take the bait, but I will. The vacated Final Fours at other schools where Cal had coached were due to the rogue actions of others outside Cal's knowledge or control. Yeah, since he was the coach when it happened you can nominally put the blame on him if it makes you feel better. As for his time at UK, if you have knowledge of Cal cheating at UK, please share it with the NCAA. Otherwise you line of attack fails.

While I hate Tennessee, they are really really good. Their injuries have caught up to them but I don't see them losing another game this season until the title game in a rematch against bama

Im just glad they hired Jones instead of Hugh Freeze. (he's such a UT fanboy he and his wife snuck into the empty stadium on their honeymoon)

Freeze at UT would be an absolute nightmare.

That being said, I HATE UT.

I would root for ISIS university if they were playing them.

Tennessee now 5-2 after getting blown out by the tide but they could easily be 3-4. Got lucky as hell in the App State game,


Except that we have won 1 title, played for another and have also been to 2 other Final Four's under Calipari. What exactly has Butch Jones won in Knoxville? UK and Duke are the premier programs in college basketball right now. Tennessee isn't even a top 10 college football program at this point and hasn't been for over a decade.
I agree with you 100% i don't think butch is the answer for TN, however TN is not getting the TOP recruiting class every year like KY basketball.

No, but they're getting classes that are top 5 the last few years... Some years higher than 5... A good coach should take talent like that and win the SEC... UT has a hard time winning the east, they have to have luck to be where they are now, 1 game ahead of UK... No way UF should be ahead of UT....

You are an IDIOT ISIS is killing AMERICANS every chance they get. You need to go check yourself into a MED hospital. I HOPE TN BEATS KY EVERY YEAR but i never wish and harm or injury come to any

Take it easy.. KY put's it on TV and they are proud of the class they get every year. and they should be. but they come up short when it comes to winning it ALL!!!! Hell TN beats them every now and then.

Tennessee is a good football team with a pretty conservative coach that seems to be trying to make his quarterback into a classic drop back passer. Trouble is Dobbs is more of a dual purpose quarterback that is more dangerous running.
Their other problem is what happened Saturday. The fan base was convinced this was the year by golly.

Then they played what is arguably the best team in the country. Alabama may have played the best game they will all year. I'm glad that opponent is in our rear view mirror.

Tennessee may very well win the east and get another shot at the tide. I'm sure they hope so.
I doubt the result would be different.

Tennessee can't beat Vandy.... Let alone Kentucky...

Speaking of football, UT has disappeared from the national power teams.. They haven't been relevant in 15 years... They haven't beaten Florida in 12 years... UK beat UT with a no named wide receiver at QB and didn't throw the ball, maybe 1 time... Rocky top wasn't so rocky that day... 20 games without beating a ranked opponent on the road... It's been a long time since Phillip Fulmer... You should have got down on your knees and begged Kiffen not to leave... Just bad times in Vol country... I can't say I'm disappointed, with all the thugs and gun hands that UT get, it's no wonder that OLE BLUE ran off.....

UT deserves this year's troubles, and more... and yes, Botch has the most punchable face in all of college football.

Seems like @TracerVol is another one of those well edumacated types. Poor guy either can't read or has very poor reading comprehension.
Let me give it a shot guys.

Basketball championship harder than football championship.
Basketball more games in season, football less games in season.

CAL HAS NEVER BEEN NAMED OR SINGLED OUT FOR ANY VIOLATIONS. Feel free to have a family member or friend look it up and read it to you.
It's not like he had a BBQ and took pictures of recruits at his house and lied about it. He had nothing to do with any of the violations at the schools he was at.

Marcus Camby worked with an agent = Nothing to do with Cal
Derrick Rose ACT issue before he ever stepped foot on campus = Nothing to do with Cal
