In Big Orange County

[Shamoan]

And I have been listening to Tennessee's official radio channel that broadcasts their games etc. they might be the most delusional people in the sec. a few gems: the city of Knoxville is MUCH better than the city of Nashville, always has been, always will be, and it's not even close. Vanderbilt is basically viewed as jr high team that must be disrespected and written off as a joke at all opportunities. Mississippi state's facilities are poor and they can take him away by paying more than lowly msu, tempting with their superior facilities, and promising higher pay for assistance. If a coach wants something, they can make it happen, we cant.

i was shocked how highly they viewed themselves. They truly believe they are God's gift to football.

That will be 4 of the last 6 by vandy. I used to be pretty neutral towards Tennessee. That arrogance makes me root against them.

I live in Tennessee. These people aren't as hateful and backbiting as UMiss fans, and they seem to admit when they're down. But yeah, they might be a bit more delusional about the way the rest of the country sees them than our swoopy haired fellows up north. They believe they are the Bama of the east.

I've got a few Tennessee fans for friends and I think they're starting to get it. When I pointed out that Memphis and Central Florida are on TV just as much as Tennessee these days they seemed to get it.

Back in the day Tennessee and Florida and Texas and the like were the only teams on TV so they were the only brand names in CFB. Nowdays every game Toledo plays is on TV somewhere. TV money is the great equalizer, just like it has been in college basketball.

Considering Memphis is about to fork over $3,000,000 per year with guarantees to try and hold on to Norvell, the days of just cherry picking the smaller programs may be coming to an end.

Go check out chad withrows Twitter, he is on the midday180 here and has been championing mullen to UT since butch was fired. They all talk about how ****** Starkville is.

Normally is a good show, but they’ve been pushing their Mullen to UT agenda hard.

That’s what the media and fans don’t seem to get, money and resources isn’t the ONLY determine factor for a potential coach.

Knoxville is a nice city, but it's outmatched in every way compared to Nashville. Also, Tennessee's campus is one of the ugliest in the sec. given the natural beauty of the area and resources of that university, it should be one of the best.
