^^ its pretty cool how college football is 3+ years old so "year after year" only applies to the last three years.

Once again, talking grades. Grades. We talking grades. Like any of you would give a shit if it wasnt a weak chance to try to troll me. So transparent and predictable.

6/12/2013 4:15:55 PM

Grades dictate bowl eligibility

But I guess if you can't even muster a .500 record, it is a moot point to talk about grades

6/12/2013 4:16:59 PM

They are after all student-athletes. Of course we should talk about their grades. As a casual Vols follower, its is embarrassing to see them bottom of the SEC. THE SEC!!!11!! And how is Alabama top? Something's fishy!

And they are currently in line, and have two years to go up 4 points to avoid any bowl issue and I have utmost confidence in Butch as he has stepped into worse situations and improved them.. but I also know that no one, and I mean NO ONE on here could tell me what Texas was ranked in their conference or nationally the year they won it all, or what Iowa State was in 2012, etc. Only reason it was posted here was to troll.

Bowl issue if we qualify for one that is...

6/12/2013 4:36:19 PM

true, I hope we do

They were ranked 5th in the Big XII in 04-05 with an APR of 931. They ranked 114th nationally. Tennessee was 135th that year nationally.

Quote :

"what Iowa State was in 2012"

9th in their 10 team Big XII conference, not too hot.

But I don't know what Texas and Iowa State have to do with Tennessee football's shitty academics, since this is the Tennessee football thread? Whereas Tennessee football's shitty academics and possible bowl implications from those shitty academics are quite relevant to the Tennessee football thread.

I mean, people are trying to post 100% relevant things, and you call that trolling? I guess you'd rather just have 50 consecutive posts with yourself in here?

^^ 1. you Googled it. and 2. They were brought up to show that you dont really care, you are just taking an opportunity to attempt to troll me. Very childish.

6/12/2013 4:54:08 PM

1. I didn't google it, I used the link that was in the article posted on the previous page about Tennesee's academics. You can look up any school. Apparently you didn't read the article about Tennessee academics or you would know this. You must have been too busy blindly defending your school by incorrectly accusing people of trolling.

Can't believe someone who claims to be objective gets so butthurt when something objective about Tennessee is being posted. You've really lost it.

6/12/2013 4:58:24 PM

you are slipping... weak.

Obviously I meant you didnt know it off the top of your head. Once again, any other school and you wouldnt have cared. But since it was UT, you have to troll. Now, if you were to post "wow, Tennessee's defense was the worst in the SEC last year" I would objectively agree. But grades? Just a sorry attempt at trolling

6/12/2013 5:01:08 PM

No one's trolling here Jaybee. You're just trying to use this as an excuse to troll State threads now.

[Edited on June 12, 2013 at 5:02 PM. Reason : ..]

6/12/2013 5:01:36 PM

It's funny. Jaybee says something objective about the Wolfpack, and some Wolfpack fan says he is trolling because they sometimes don't want to face the objective facts about a school they care about.

Then someone says something objective about Tennessee, and Jaybee says he is trolling because he sometimes doesn't want to face the objective facts about a school he cares about.

Its almost as if he isn't any more objective than any other poster on this website.

6/12/2013 5:15:29 PM

The amount jaybee butthurt is wayy too high. Glass houses and all...

6/12/2013 5:18:29 PM

6/12/2013 5:21:44 PM

Obviously the distinction is on the field sports related vs something off the field, that you wouldn't care about unless it was a chance to troll. That distinction destroys all your points. Now, back to actual football talk.

6/12/2013 5:35:48 PM

So is UT on ECU's level?? I'm just trying to find a good comparison academically.

6/12/2013 5:40:46 PM

I would grasp as straws too if my team got their ass kicked last year.

Actually I wouldn't, because I'm not a little bitch.

If we had mods that ever did anything maybe this place would get cleaned up a bit. Get rid of the perpetual 14 year olds.

Tennessee's APR hasn't been higher than ECU's in 3 years

Think just a step below Coastal Carolina

If Butch is gonna improve the APR, he's got to attract smart student-athletes. Hows he gonna do that?

how in the fuck is kentucky recruiting so well in FOOTBALL

6/13/2013 10:50:40 PM

Kentucky hired a good coach.

Now why is Tennessee recruiting so well?

6/13/2013 11:20:53 PM

And how good are the incoming recruits as students? Gotta keep the APR up

6/13/2013 11:24:05 PM

Rivals ranks quantity more heavily than quality

seems like they weight it pretty evenly considering UT, UK and UT all have more commits than A&M

6/14/2013 1:32:49 AM

I would say ND bas the better class of those listed. The reason they aren't #1 is because they have fewer recruits. They cold probably get as many 3* guys as they want if they wanted them


I say this and hate ND almost as much as I hate UNC

6/14/2013 8:40:31 AM

So ND is sticking at 11 for their entire class? or say they are holding spots for some 4 and 5 stars, so they are sticking at 14-15?

you would have a point if all teams had 20+ players and were done for the year. Plus, MANY of the players on the teams above ND were offered BY ND... so its not like ND is not trying to get the same people.

This is all about sandrobot's anti-SEC bias coming through and him being pissed that Michigan isnt higher. He even hates Trent Richardson



[Edited on June 14, 2013 at 9:32 AM. Reason : e]

6/14/2013 9:31:08 AM

How could anyone hate Trent Richardson? He is going to be a great pro. Just look how he abuses this defense.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=148mT_RA-aM

6/14/2013 9:42:54 AM

that particular video I would say it was more O-line and holding on the DB on the left (he basically gets turned around) but yeah, of course TR is good.

and this is a new low in trolling ("oh oh! he mentioned a player, let me go find a clip of him against Tennessee!! that will show him!!"). You people really need to get out of your mom's basement some more, you would feel better and not have to resort to trolling for your happiness.

[Edited on June 14, 2013 at 9:46 AM. Reason : x]

6/14/2013 9:46:05 AM

That was an honest mistake. I thought it was against some non-BCS team, since there is no way an SEC defense could be that bad.

6/14/2013 9:49:34 AM

they were even worse the following year, too bad they couldnt play State all year, they would have set an INT record and CP would have won the Heisman

6/14/2013 9:54:43 AM

Fuck Saban. Thought you guys had a good shot at Cornwell.

6/15/2013 11:34:35 AM

na, he's been dedicated to them for a LONG time... and cant blame any QB for wanting to go to Bama. He knows he will have a great line, GREAT fundamental (i.e. pass blocking) RBs and probably good to great WRs. Plus he knows he has what is typically the best defense in football to fall back on and will never have to completely carry a team.

6/15/2013 4:16:48 PM

Got a couple more recruits, including the 69th ranked RB.

69 dude!!! (imagine a Bill and Ted picture here, I'm driving)

6/16/2013 3:15:18 PM
