Great! Being the power program in TN is like being the tallest midget...nothing to brag about.
Let's look at the competition:
UT-Chatty
UT-Martin
Memphis
Vandy
TN Tech
MTSU
Austin Peay
TN State
Did I happen to overlook a powerhouse or 2?
The most depressing/annoying part of all this is back in the day we wouldn't have nearly this many posts involving them on game day, much less during the off season. The fact they're even coming up in conversation is proof enough.
They are spending 30+million on a multipurpose facility that will be complete in 2014. Vandy is loaded and spending big money.
We spent twice that during our darkest days as a program. I applaud the effort by them but they will never win an SEC championship much less even make it to the SEC Champ game. Tennessee, Georgia, USC and Florida offer a much easier path to the NFL for top recruits, still have much nicer facilities than they do and play in front of twice as many fans at home. Even though we are down right now, there will never be a year that Vandy can win the SEC east. EVER! People who are worried about them need to step back and take a deep breath. We are Tennessee and we need to worry about getting back to the top rather than competing against lower tier SEC teams during their best of times and our worst.
If UT played Vandy's schedule and won 9 games, you would not be calling us lucky, you'd be posting with enthusiasm that Tennessee football is back.
