I was looking over there to see the angst on Hunter and came across this (pretty fine) rant. Another poster also pointed out this video on Tennessee's (absurd) training facility. Here you go:
I normally would not bash another fan base but I live here in Knoxville and Tennessee football fans may be the most arrogant and dillusional fan base in college football. They may end up getting Hunter and that's fine but reading their board is sickening.
Let's examine their recent past. It's been 10 years plus since they were even relevant. Fired Fat Phil, bring in Kiffin (dumpster fire), hire the clown Dooley and now Butch.
Butch went 7-6 last year with a bowl win over mighty Iowa who looked they were drunk on corn moonshine and had pianos tied to their back. Slowest team in America. Let's examine Tennessee ' s wins last year.
Utah State
Arkansas State
UTC
Kentucky
South Carolina Away
Vanderbilt Away
Are you kidding me? Candy and Kentucky are atrocious. Tennessee won at Vandy by 7. They beat a lousy South Carolina team in OT and we're down by 14 with 5 minutes left. Only SC awful defense allowed them to win. That game sealed their bowl appearance. They were 0 and 5 versus any real SEC team.
But read their boards and you would think they went 10-2 last year. They are so desperate for a winning team. If Butch wins 8 they will build a statue of him outside stadium.
He has recruited well but let's see what happens over the next few years.
Spurrier took shots at them at SEC media days when we he said SC went 7-6 and it was a bad year. Other schools went 7-6 and they were turning cartwheels in the streets. He was talking about Tennessee and Arkansas. Butch even jokingly referred to the comment when he got to podium.
I know ND has been down too bit I feel we are least a little more grounded than the dillusional Tennessee fans.
Okay, sorry for the rant. Go Irish.
Plus an add from another poster:
