Butch conisders Atlanta "home territory"

1. Tennessee
2. Georgia
3. Carolinas
4. Virginia

IMHO, this, in order, are the target areas. Then we fill in with select athletes from other states no matter where they may be. Would like to see them make a few more inroads into Ohio maybe, but it's hard to argue with our recruiting footprint right now. They're just doing a great job, esoecially in Georgia.

We should absolutely own North Carolina, it would be my #2

1. Tennessee
2. North Carolina
3. Virginia
4. North Georgia
5. South Carolina

Tennessee should own Kentucky and split South Carolina with Clemson.

Not much to own in KY...they put out about one really talented recruit each year and a few decent D1 recruits. Oyher than that, not a lot that I would want to claim out of KY.

maybe when we start to beat them on a regular basis, and get a couple of 5 stars to flip from GA on NSD, then maybe we can say we own GA.

More than just a football recruiting home ground, and someone who lives in Atlanta can verify this, I think the largest alumni association group outside of Tennessee is Atlanta. It is sizeable.

I would say this is true for every SEC east school and ACC schools in the south.

We're nearly broke. Let's generate a little revenue before we borrow against the farm.

I know what you're saying but sometimes you've got to spend money to make money. Plus it makes me sick to think that A&M is ahead of us and LSU and Bama right on our heels.

Btw, 102,455 includes media, players, refs, coaches, etc. Also, game attendance figures are a huge source of athletic department pride and are also recruiting tools. Don't you think if we could possibly claim those extra 4-5k that we would. After all, we used to claim 107, 108, 109k when we could, before Neyland stadium remodels reduced the number of seats and hence total capacity.

Agree with you that other teams should concern themselves with the Neyland home field advantage....Butch should be able to capitalize on one of the game day environments in the country as he continues to accumulate more talent....that's ultimately is what makes the biggest difference.

You're such a wet blanket... Surprising with somebody with KB in their screen name.

Wet blanket? Guy incorrectly states our stadium capacity is 107k and I'm just trying to correct the record, that's all. Heard Doug Mathews talk about what goes into counting stadium capacity/attendance numbers one time and was surprised, but for the sake of accuracy, discussed it here. Certainly wasn't trying to curb anyone's enthusiasm.....well, maybe Nationdom's a little bit because it's not remotely rooted in reality.

I'll trust your judgment. I am a little scared though.
