This is like a guy who drives a 03 Hyundai Elantra riding in a new Bentley and being like, “meh, it’s not really even that great”

No, not really.

You're insinuating that we can't return to greatness, but that Bama's past suckage was irrelevant.

Not at all.was simply implying that this CFB landscape is radically diff then it was 20 years ago. UT history is amazing, blue blood status really prior to last 15 years, might get there again, but it won’t be the past that gets them there.

uscjr will continue to live off the scraps of the SEC powerhouses...coaches and players. They will get a Clowney or a Jeffrey every few years and think they are big stuff, but they are and always will be with the vandy kentucky miss st caliber teams of the SEC.

Why is that? Because that is the way it was in the past? Welcome to 2018, UT used to be top 1-10 in nation recruiting every year, SC was always much lower, much. Fast fwd, past 10-15 years UT outrecruits SC by a much smaller margin, and nothing in the windshield looking ahead changes that regardless of how long you stare at the rear view mirror.

Nebraska’s past isn’t coming back to rescue them. I graduated from West Point, and Army’s illustrious past isn’t showing up anytime soon to rescue them. You earn what you earn from the present, the past is gone.

I can vouch for this, the past two battalion commanders I had were West Point grads and they were F****** Idiots.

Just an observation, pretty accurate as well.

Other than a few renovations needed inside, the outside of Neyland Stadium is fantastic. Most of the work has been done in the last 10-15 years. I think the only true outside change that is going to happen with the next renovation is the river side to make it look nicer.

I don't travel at all anymore to games, but Neyland has been one of the nicest truly old stadiums around.

Are you sure didn’t get lost when you were a butter bar during land nav? Maybe ended up stuck in Columbia but at heart you’re a Vol fan lol? I see your true colors and there are streaks of orange in them 👍🏻

Unfortunately for them, they were brilliant in planning but they didn’t know how to let their NCO’s lead and carry the commanders intent. Ultimately always screwing up the exercise or making a task more complex than it should have been.

Did most of my career land nav in Europe and the M.E., butter bar days along the East German border, O-3 through 0-6 years mostly in the deserts. No problems navigating brother.

The commanders intent....that would be their (your battalion commanders) intent. You probably understood their intent better than they did. It happens I suppose.

Almost always. I spent a bunch of my career in the Cav, they were used as recon and surveillance units, company sized airborne infantry usually, sometimes attached to our air cav, awesome and effective units, uniquely trained.

Pathfinders not obsolete, under 1-507 IR, I wear the Pathfinder badge. Training continues, but units deactivated. You can still get cert in it.

Because that is the way it is right now. jr's last 2 coaches are florida rejects. jr had an up year when UT had a down year and you are trying to make yourself believe it is a trend. If you want to continue to delude yourself, go right ahead, it will just be that much sweeter when you get back to reality. Just make sure you come around on the 28th and take your medicine.

Here's some advise for any gamecock fan.... Enjoy any success you can have. It's rarified air for you. You need to accept that the cocks are always going to be battling it out with KY, Vandy, and Missouri for 4-7 in the conference. What's happening now is an anomaly. Sure, you'll have your occasional win over GA, FL, and Tennessee but it will be the exception rather than the rule. I mean has SC really gotten much better or have GA, TN and FL at given times fell to the gamecock's level? I don't think they're much improved as a program than anytime.

Sorry, but it is what it is.

Yeah, I honestly believe all air assault or Airborne units should have Pathfinder and RSLC as a requirement at some point in their first 10 years.

I was probably sloppy in my presentation of what I believe the landscape in CFB is today. Not trying to stir any pots, but in my posts I merely was trying to express a trend I believe to be real. CFB has changed much, and continues to change. Many schools like Nebraska as mentioned above are trying to reclaim the glory of years gone by, not an easy feat in this new era. Same for Army which saw its star fade many decades ago for other reasons. But the point trying to be impressed was simply that very few if any schools can rely on their past to guarantee their future, it simply does not work that way in modern CFB anymore. As for UT, they have always had the potential and will to scale the heights of the sport, and did so for much of CFB history, but today the money being infused into the sport spreads far and wide. Playing fields have been leveling for the past 15 years from this cash cow known as TV dollars. Facility discrepancies which were once wide are narrowing or even. Today, if a University is in a power 5 conference and has the right leadership, it has the resources to compete, regardless of history...with a few exceptions from those schools under much stricter academic requirements still. It’s all about leadership today, because most schools can pay $5 million a year for the right coach with the new TV revenue, and if they have also the right admin behind that coach they will be competitive IF they are in the right recruiting footprint. That means many schools which historically were not competitive in the past can close the gap and we see this happening. It’s about our world today, the old days were great for UT, the future days may be as well, but that past guarantees nothing today.
