I'm out here in Big 12 country, so I get exposed to it all the time.

I think the major difference is the majority of Tennessee fans have come to terms that we face a long uphill battle to regain our spot in terms of national significance. I know it will happen and it takes time. But we know we are sitting on the bottom right now, but can move upwards.

Texas fans on the other hand have yet to figure out their program is lacking significance on the big stage. But again like the family that went from riches to rags, they still believe they are somehow relevant in the big stage. I talked to a few out here that thought they were going to go undefeated this year. Just plain arrogance because they are "Texas by God!"

If they don't hit a home run with this coaching hire (please take Franklin so he can fall on his face), they face the same thing we are going/have been through in the past five years. Or even longer as the traditional little brothers in Texas (A&M, TTU, TCU, Baylor) have become significant and leveled the playing field.

I guess perspective plays a major role in how you view them. If I were amongst them on a daily basis then I would probably share your views. Sitting here in Tennessee, on the other hand, I kind of see where they are coming from. Their program is the richest in the country. Their state is loaded with talent. Why not expect to be a powerhouse and get pissed off when things don't work out? If the real UT were in the same position and were failing to win it all, I would be screaming for heads to roll. I just see it like Texas should be a power on the level that bama is right now every year. They really have no excuses for not being the pinnacle of college football.

So, we all back to thinking Lambert sticks with his commitment?

IMO he is a barner....sucks too. We really need the guy. And by the way...Auburns defense sucks donkey nuts. Their D has almost nothing to do with their success this year.

Wife and pooch are great. Glad that I'll have a week and a half off of work starting next week. Glad you're doing well.

Good to hear. Enjoy your time off.
Sucks we lost the traitor to Auburn, but it sucks even worse we lost RichRollin. I didn't like him when we both were on GVX, but liked him over here.

Yeah I never really followed his posts, but it's very surreal and sad. He got a warm send off from his pals on VolNation, though.

Volnation's sole Vandy fan. He's a troll of the nth degree

Ahhh, that guy. Yes the "Vandy has equal facilities" gets me every time. It really is only a matter of time before things return to their usual order. We saw the same thing with Nortwestern in the 90's. They are OK right now, but certainly not winning the B1G anytime soon. I do not think we will ever see Vandy win the SEC, or even the East for that matter. The fan support just isn't there to sustain long term success, and that ultimately is why Franklin will end up leaving.

I still say Franklin's got a Texas colored tie in his closet and sleeps with a Bevo doll every night hoping for a phone call from his agent.

I've known of him for 5 years. Always seemed to be a decent guy once he got here. I don't know him like I know the night shift posters, but I feel like one of you guys died. Hard to explain. Just glad everyone here is safe, and we all are healthy, and life's good. It's insane how quickly everything can change.

He was referring to my Franklin comments. To which, if the forum filters would let me, I'd tell him to go _______ himself using a _______ while with the other hand _______ to his dog and __________ with a __________ and _________ to his house and ____________ with one more ________ for good measure.
