gr82b4au 5,568 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Hard to believe a program with such a tradition is tanking this bad. Losing badly on the field, losing recruits, fights among teammates, players quitting (rumor about the qb), and just all around terrible play by the team. We have had our moments (2012, 2008, etc) so I know what it is like to go through a terrible season. That program has hit rock bottom. Wow.

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Just go to volnation.com and look at the forums. You will see everything. They are a shell of a college team right now. I would not be surprised if USCe beats them by 2 tds. TN has more talent but they are not good at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not convinced UT has the bigger talent at this point. USC is pretty solid talent-wise. You're gonna see the next couple of years them back to their 2010-2012 levels - 60-70% of their starters and most of their subs are all Freshmen and Sophomores. They're gonna be good.

AUIH1 1,515 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Both UT and Arky are spiraling downward quickly and in my opinion, will be hiring a new HC going into 2018. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowebb11 9,608 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I live here in Knoxville and I've actually started feeling sorry for them. The fans are so desperate to be relevant again. We need them to be great again to give UAT more competition. One of the greatest gifts Saban has had is the decline of UT while he's been at UAT.

Would be great to have UT strong again to give UAT & UGA a tough fight. While I don't think Jones is the key to success for them, he has not been absolutely atrocious on the field. Jones from '13-'16 UT is 30-21 (14-18) and 3-0 in bowl games Malzhan from '13-'16 AU is 35-18 (18-14) and 1-3 in bowl games It does however appear BJ has lost his team in several areas and while AU looks to be a serious competitor in '17, UT looks to be spiraling out of control at mid-season.

Tiger 8,841 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Normally I want our SEC competitors to stay with weak HC hires as long as possible, but in this case we play UT so rarely and they play our main rivals yearly I would like for UGA and Bama to have some more competition.

I would like Tennessee to be relevant again as well. The East Division needs more consistently good teams. An East Division Champion has not won the SEC Championship Game since 2008, and too many of those West Division wins have been blowouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, heck yeah I want UT to get a backbone again and test uat/uga. I also want LSU to keep their shrimp boat captain, and Arky to retain their Boss Hog, and OleMiss to flounder at the bottom of the sea in sanctions for a few years. That would almost guarantee AU gets 2nd place in the West with aTm putting up a fight and AU catching lightening in a bottle and winning the division every couple of years.

PigskinPat 2,582 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I can’t stand hearing Butch talk. He constantly talks in clichés and it’s so irritating to listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoundationEagle 637 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Knew Butch wouldn't make it when I saw a clip of their practices. He walks around talking with a bullhorn. How do you truly respect a coach that talks to you through a bullhorn nonstop? Probably a silly reason to suspect failure but that just struck me as a weak coaching tactic indicative of lack of confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
