An alert reader tipped me to this story. Clever catchphrase, Vol fans.
The SEC East is a really strange neighborhood these days.

Quote Of The Day
-
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

We were wearing similar red hats in Chicago in reference to our own program last year, so for once I cannot throw stones at UT.

No, the hats have a bad shape, but they work for Trump supporters. Then people come along and steal the idea. It shows a total lack of imagination and looks douchey, IMO.

Actually, amazing how anyone can oppose either one of those. Just shows how hopelessly divided we have become, and it has nothing to do with content, or substance. But I really do hope TN football doesn’t change, or become any better…evah.
But the “engineer looking” crown hat shapes do look bad. Some of my old golf memorabilia photos look funny because of them, and I still end up with a few of those around because I like the hat color and didn’t pay attention to what the crown looked like. Still looks better than the flat brims though.

UT will never see the days of Fulmer/Manning/1998 ever again, and they were damn lucky to see them in the first place.
The state’s population is a small 6.7mm, while Georgia is at 10.4 and Florida at 21. Tennessee is closer to South Carolina (5mm) in terms of population and overall resources, although Nashville has become a first tier city, for what that is worth.
UT’s glory era came at the expense of Georgia losing battles for in state talent. This is well documented. That ain’t happening again folks. Tennessee, South Cack, and Clemson all make a living off of Georgia talent. Everyone raids Florida (pop. 21mm).
I understand it only takes a roster of 85 to build a champion, however Tennessee has nothing to offer that it’s enemies do not already provide.
It is highly unlikely that the Vols will ever see a period of sustained success that they experienced in the 90’s. The landscape has forever changed.

Back in his day, Georgia’s population was at 3.45 million, Tennessee was at 3.31 million, Florida at 2.81 million Those are figures from 1950. The one lesson I would take from their success of 20 years ago is that it depends in great measure on sustained mediocrity in Athens. Such was the case through most of the 1950s as it was during the majority of the 1990s.

agreed.

Ditto UT, the Gators, the Chikins, etc. Anyone else see a pattern here?

Thinking Trump is smart takes an exceptionally stupid person. Of course that’s never been a secret. His base is literally comprised of only poorly educated people.
