So what do we name the 2010-2020 era?

[adam.vol]

Call it what it is. “Mike Hamilton Saga” or “When TN tried to become a liberal arts school”.

Honorable mention to Three Stooges Era.

 

[GBOTango]

Apocalypse Then

 

[UTFanForLife]

Decade of For the Love of All Things Holy Please Let This End To Preserve My Sanity.

Rolls right off the tongue.

 

[Kylo]

Horror on The Hill

 

[aaronvol]

It's a really bad word.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Decade of Dumpster fire .

 

[Special Ed]

It was more of an error than an era.

We are in the playoffs in football. Basketball will be #1 on Monday. Baseball is the defending national champs.

That's a far cry from where we were 10 years ago. 10 years ago we just beat Vandy for our first "non-losing" season in 4 years. Baseball was an afterthought and basketball had just hired Donnie Tyndall.

That whole decade was just painful, so what should it be called?

The Decade of Disaster?
The Champions of Life Era?
The Five Star Hearts Era?

It needs an official name.

2021 was dawn. Jeremy Pruitt was right when he proclaimed we entered the decade of the Vols, he was just a little early. It's not even morning yet. We are about ready to hit our stride and go on a nice 5 year stretch of dominance.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Take your pick:
Vols Winter of Discontent
The Abyss Wallow
Decade of Demolition
When Hell Met Hades
Frozen Frontier
Era of Davy Crooked
Slipping and Sliding Era
Orange Crushed
Vol Walk of Shame

The "Ship with no captain" era seems fitting. Can't fault the players, to be honest. It was the administration (AD and coaches) who kept the dumpster fire burning hot. In fact, they damn near melted the dumpster.

 

[wtmvol]

I find that when you give a name to something really painful in your life, you're forced to acknowledge its existence.

It needs an official name.

Why?

I have completely forgotten about it except when it is brought up on this forum.

Honestly I don't think many people realize how bad the other (academic) side of the house was, too.

 

[EastTNVol423]

well the book about it is called "Decade of Dysfunction" so.....

Wow I had to scroll this far to find this post. How do more fans not know about this? I consider this to be the defacto name for 2010-2020.

Decade of Dysfunction

This and I thought it was already commonly known.

There were a few bright spots that I visit on my walks down memory lane but the vast majority exist on the "road not taken" and it hard to forget because, dammit, it just keeps popping up here. Move on.
