Getting mad about all that kinda shows an inferiority complex. Everyone knows ND could close their eyes and swing around wildly with a bag of scholarships and land a top 10 class every year regardless of success on the field. Tennessee can't do that. He's not stating anything offensive or anything we don't already know. Don't get all angsty about it.
I know its almost Christmas but I have to vent!
I hate Notre Dame and always have.
ESPN and all the media kisses their a$$ like no other program in the country and all because of marketing dollars!
I recently read a quote from rivals....
"This is a big deal for Tennessee. That is a program that needs the right hire, and it needs it right now. I don't know if I can say this is a home run hire, but after the episode with Lane Kiffin and the disaster of Derek Dooley, the best thing that can happen here is for Jones to bring the Cincinnati magic with him and follow on the success of the last coaches to leave that school. It is unlikely he is going to jump in and have the success that Brian Kelly is having in recruiting at Notre Dame, but Tennessee isn't Notre Dame." -- Mike Farrell, Rivals.com
This pisses me off more than I can stand. UT isnt Notre Dame...you are dam! right! In the past twenty years UT has had 9 10+win seasons and a National Championship. In the same time frame Notre Dangit has had 5 10+ win seasons. The media needs to quit suckling the marketing teet and do some fair and unbiased reporting.
Yes we have been bottom barrel for the past two coaching terms but we WILL BE BACK!!!
I am no Bama lover but hope Saban and the boys beat the golden helmets into a stupor so the media cant keep the same BS around.
GO SEC Go Vols!!
And full on Go Coach Jones!!
I hate Notre Dame because around the time of the home and home series against ND back in 90-91 was the first time I was old enough to not just watch the game, but to remember it, even today and more so, be fully invested in the game, realize its importance, yada yada yada. Both games were nailbiters, coming down to the final moments and created an intense rivalry at least inside my head. We then didn't play them for a decade, and now, 21 years later, we've still only played them three times since that moment. It has caused that rivalry to simmer with me over all these years. So yes, I hate Notre Dame more than Alabama and I was relieved (note, not happy) to see Bama take them to the woodshed. As I posted in another thread, here is my order of things I hate:
1. Cancer
2. Notre Dame Football
3. Alabama anything
4. Al Qaeda
5. New York Yankees
I'm old enough to know that our true rival is Alabama, I love to say "Roll Tide Roll, Round the Bowl and Down the Hole" and "I don't give a d**n about the whole state of Alabama...We're From Tennessee", but I will always hate the dirty Catholics from South Bend more.

Try being a VOLS fans in South Bend Indiana. ND thinks they rule this town. I was glad as hell when Bama took them to the shed. After game all the Domers could talk about was the bad call in the 1st qrt. Like that cost them the game. And they still think they are the best team in the nation, and that if the game were played again they would just mud stomp Bama.
ND fans need to be slapped in the face, do your selves a favor and when meeting a ND fan just walk away.
