Hi, and Go Bears! I'm working on a "welcome the Vols" shirt, and would appreciate your feedback. I've narrowed it down to 2 designs. The first says "This ain't Rocky Top," and has a picture of the banjo guy from Deliverance wearing a Vols shirt, with an "x" through it. The second shirt says, in large letters, ‘‘You can’t spell Citrus without UT", with "Steve Spurrier" below it. It then lists the many times UT has been relegated to the Tier 3 Citrus Bowl. What do you guys think?

Settle down Beavis.

Cal is still losing a fair portion of their "name" talent, am I allowed to make that point?

I'm not going to settle down on this topic when you've shown you don't know what you're talking about.

Cal DOES lose some name talent, mostly on defense. However, you can't consider losing Mixon as losing anything. He didn't play at all for them last year. They lose Mebane, Bishop, and Hughes (plus more) on defense.

It matters only because I'd like the majority of our fan base to sound smart before we rip Cal to shreds. I'll give Cal 6 points on the board for our travel and their home field, and we should still win by 10+.

asking a majority of our fans to sound smart makes you sound....not smart, but I agree.

you obviously don't know what you are talking about. Cal's recruiting and record over the past 5 years has been FAR better than UCLAs and Stanford. Not even close. Tedford has never even lost to stanford. And you certainly can't mean academics. SC is a junior college compared to cal.

we were ranked #10 preseason and finished #14th. Were we really that overrated preseason?

rated 14th at season end by beating a horrendous A&M team in a meaningless bowl game. great work. btw, UT finished unranked and beat Cal like a local HS team. Keep it up.

Oh, I forgot that Cal is great academic institution. That's exactly what this board is all about.

Droski,

For argument sake, I'm going to give you some props and admit that Cal could have won some games against SEC opponents. I believe Cal could have beaten (on a neutral field):

Ole Miss
Miss St
Vandy (toss up)
Kentucky (toss up)

Heck, in the west and with a favorable east matchup like Vandy, Cal could have won 2 or 3, so let's say 2.5 games in conference. With unfavorable east opponents, 2 wins at most.

Great, you've climbed up the mountain to be competitive with Vandy. Tedford's a miracle worker.

vandy, kentucky, south carolina (until this year), ole miss, miss state have not recruited as well as cal has the last couple of years. i think you underestimate the talent in the state of california.

I don't underestimate CA talent, Cal just happens to recruit it poorly. You can keep getting away with doing that and winning, because USC is the only school in the PAC 10 that recruits it well.

first of all, i dont see how a cal fan can just come on here and start trash talking when tenn really shoud've beat cal by 50 points last year. Fulmer was just being nice and spotted u guys 18 pts.

second of all, cal plays one of the easiest schedules in the nation. CAL FANS HAVE NO ROOM TO TALK.

so you think tenn is a superior academic institution? been drinking early?

Didn't go there and never considered it, but I consider Cal a bastion of ultra-liberal garbage (although most of academia is the same) for ultra-liberal garbage's sake.
