USCjr Chickens want to be one of our falsely counted as traditional rivals so badly. It's pathetic and embarrassing for them. It really makes them look ridiculous. Because it's who they are.

So the all time series is slanted in Vols favor before our program was run into the ground and their program totally sucked, but the last 19 games are 10-9 Vols favor iirc with many competitive games. I don’t see how that is some sort of narrative or cherry picking anything.

Why pick 19 games? It's seems like a really arbitrary number. Could it be that goes back to the year before they hired Spurrier and had the biggest upswing in school history? Amazing that you choose to leave out all but one of a 12 game winning steak for Tennessee once we started playing yearly.

They managed to be a little worse than .500 against the Vols in that time frame which contains the lowest down period in Tennessee history and the biggest up period in SC's. If you cherry pick as hard as possible you can get them to .500. You are just an eyelash away from doing that.

SC could win for a decade straight and still not break even. Historically, Tennessee has 100% clowned SC.

I agree. Normally I don't but the officiating was excruciatingly painful that game. When Herbstreit and Fowler make mention of it then it's bad.

I’m not going to blame the refs for the Florida loss. We did plenty to lose that one on our own. That said pretty much the whole year the officiating has sucked. Did Heupel go and drop an upper decker in the officials bathroom last year or something to piss these guys off?

That’s all true but is mostly irrelevant. What matters most is recent history. It holds more weight than what happened decades ago.

Unfortunately, in recent history it’s been a pretty even series. We’ve been about on their level…mid tier some years and floor mats in others. Kids in college today don’t know anything about UT dominating USC.

This is like Yale bragging about owning the most football championships. It’s true…but who cares today? It means nothing.

We just need to start owning them again and then we won’t have to hear anymore stories about the good ole days.

He claims not to be cherry picking whilst responding to the claim that Tennessee has historically clowned SC. He went so far as to tell them to do some research.

So I did.

You can argue the history of the series doesn't matter if you like. I disagree. But I understand that position.

However, my previous post is completely relevant to the one I replied to.

And now with the end of divisions, there goes their last chance 😂. They will not be one of our three permanent opponents so they will only get to play us in the round robin schedule. And to put icing on the cake, we go out a winner

Disney WORLD dude. Only Kalifornia LOSERS go to DisneyLAND 😉

As a Vol alum and current Texan who has been to both more than a few times…they both have their upsides. For a week, go to Disney World. But for 2-3 days, Disney Land is great.

And we Texans don’t usually have much nice to say about The Democratic Peoples Republic of Kalifornia (DPRK).

But, I’ll give props to Disney Land.

Wish! Wife wants to hold out for a game in Norman. I think that's the schedule next year. Need to make plans before the season next year and touch base with you.

I know every team gets screwed by bad officiating but it seems like we get waaaaaayyyyyyy too many of the "OMG you have to be cheating to miss that call" plays.
Like several magnitudes more than other teams.

I don’t even think it’s cheating. It’s just incompetence. I mean unless they’re betting the under why cheat for Austin Peay?
