here's another fascinating stat...apparently - according to the last global census - 3 out of every 4 people make up 75% of the world's population. :)

Reminded me of a funny line I saw earlier, even if it is somewhat pro-gator:

"75% of the world is covered with water. The other 25% is covered by Reggie Nelson."

Actually Fred Smoot said that when he played with Mississippi State. Another cheap plagerism by the the gator phonies!!:zeitung_lesen:

Ironically enough, Smoot is covering plenty of water in Minnesota these days...

Yes, this is correct and every other coach with a losing season wound up being fired except Fulmer and Doug Dickey (It was Dickey's first year)!!!

R. R. Neyland in three stents as the head coach for the Vols NEVER had a losing season!!

Neyland had a 5-5 season in 47 and a 4-4-2 season in 48 though.

Majors also went 4-7 in his first year and he resigned almost 15 years later.

A losing season is less wins than losses!! I stand by my statement General Neyland never had a losing season and Philip Fulmer is no Robert Neyland!!:thumbsup: ( with credit to the late Senator Loyd Benson)

Something I didn't know...and thought was pretty impressive...

Tennessee is the winningest team in college football since 1926.

Pretty amazing. The one I've always thought was amazing was William Howard's record of carrying the ball on 13 consecutive plays.

the 1938 team was the last team in NCAA history to go unscored on for a season.

we also still hold the record for going 71 quarters without allowing a point, which is something like 17 games.

4-4-2 is a losing season. Winning percentage is wins divided by number of games played. A winning percentage of .400 is most definitely a losing season!

I knew General Neyland. General Neyland was a friend of mine. And you, Philip Fulmer, are no General Neyland. :lolabove: nice...that line is one of my favorites.

having a winning or losing season. You could have 8 ties, 1 win and 1 loss which would garner a very low winning percentage, but you can't say that you had a losing season. Get it! :rock:

Bowden Wyatt had 2 losing seasons, the first of which was 1958. He went on to coach 4 more seasons. Johnny Majors had 3 losing seasons and was not fired after any of them.

Neyland had back to back non-winning seasons in 1947 (5-5) and 1948 (4-4-2). Good thing he was not fired. 2 years after that 4-win season, Neyland led the Vols to 2 national titles (1 consensus) 11-1 (1950) and 10-1 (1951 consensus).
