Will Tennessee football ever regain its blueblood status?

[Alabama Does]

24 years since a conference championship.

15 years since they’ve won their own division. Mizzou has won the division twice since then.

currently under ncaa investigation

1-15 against Alabama

2-16 against Florida

2-11 against Georgia

6-5 against Vandy - this is probably the most embarrassing of all

Things have really gone south since the days when Heisman winning qb Payton Manning was leading them to national titles while sticking it to spurrier every September.

Tennessee was never considered a Blue Blood, not even by irrational Tennessee fans.

Correct!!! It was a trick question. Only having two national titles since 1951 never allowed for them to be labeled a blueblood to begin with.

 

[Watty]

If they were ever a “blue blood” then they probably still are. The gene pool in the state of Tennessee is ankle deep, at best, so that bloodline hasn’t seen much change over the years due to all the sister and farm animal *******.

 

[OneParticularHarbour]

Vols are definitely a blue blood program. Just look at the all time wins number.

They hate us cause they ain't us.

 

[PhilMyFulmer]

We never left OP. We just took a two decade hiatus.

 

[TMAC1414]

hard to achieve it when you already have it OP.

 

[Tuamuchspeed]

I've always said Sherman missed an opportunity by not burning Tennessee to the ground as well.

Vols are 10th in wins. And you’re bragging about that? Pathetic. You’re behind Nebraska and Penn state lol.

The investigation is over, old pee. Get with the times.

 

[footballfanatic09]

The future looks bright, though. Finally we have a good coach after 2 decades of crap.

False. Good news is though there’s nothing in recent ut history that will be painful to vacate. Not even a division championship or ciTrUs Bowl win. I know how much the ciTrUs bowl means in Knoxville.

Wikipedia has them at 12 and Harvard at 10. Sounds like some real football royalty.

Hey fun fact. Dawgs passed y’all and USCw in all time wins this year. Suck it losers.

It’s not false. There is currently no investigation going on involving Tennessee.

So y’all are now just waiting to get the sanctions? Is a (ciTrUs) bowl ban expected?

From those who would know, the expectation is a few more scholly losses and a fine. No post season ban. The investigation is over.

Gotcha. Knowing a ciTrUs bowl berth is on the table has to create excitement around Knoxville.

Lot **** talking in this thread from you. You scared Opie? I guess that gross QB situation down there is getting Nicky scared?

With the defense y’all have? LOL no.

 

[TMAC1414]

Hey OP I don’t k own if this is your first time, but we don’t talk football around these parts.

 

[Vol4life]

With the defense y’all have? LOL no.

Interesting is that what you said last year? Daddy Hypel coming for ya.

 

[STAND]

With the defense y’all have? LOL no.

As this past year demonstrated, the defense just has to be good enough on the scoreboard.

 

[footballfanatic09]

The defense is improving. The offense you can rest assured will always be top of the league

 

[Alabama Does]

No blueblood has a book published about a season in which no championship of any kind was won. I bet these things were flying off the tables of the Cracker Barrel gift shops in Tennessee though. Pathetic.

The Dawgs passed you guys in all time wins. New rule: if you get passed by a non Blue Blood, you lose your Blue Blood status.

So you are admitting we are or at least were a blue blood. Perfect.

Here’s a great question, how many TDs would Hyatt have scored against that Tennessee secondary if he got to play against it on the 3rd Saturday in October? I mean 5 against Nicky’s secondary is crazy in itself…

If schools like UTk and USCw are considered blue bloods y’all can have that ****. Both those programs have aids.

Blue bloods don’t get sh*t on by their biggest rival for almost 2 decades.

Bama should lose their status then for the Fulmer years when he waxed that *** on a regular basis.
