The Florida/Cincy fan can STFU, until either of those teams replaces Tennessee in the list of the ten winningest programs in cfb history.

We've won 6. Gators and Cincy combined have won 3. We've also won twice as many SEC titles as Florida.

We have historically been one of the top programs. We are down right now, but we will be back on top soon.

Vols lead Kentucky at the half. Jarnell Stokes is for real. Kid looks like an aircraft carrier out there.

5 of those championships were before they even wore helmets. Heh. I'm almost 44 and in that span they won one. Now that's tradition combined with consistency.

That's a predictable response from a Florida/Cincy fan. Serious cfb fans disagree with you.

I wouldn't put Tennessee in the "top tier" of college football powers, but I would put them at or near the top of the "second tier."

The top tier--based on tradition and hoopla bullshit--would be Alabama, Michigan, Ohio State, USC and Notre Dame (spits).

After that, you have a "second tier" of Tennessee, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Auburn, Texas A&M, Penn State, Florida State, LSU and Miami.

Tennessee's BBall team shows they have some toughness in them. First they upset FL and then just about pull a win out against KY. If they keep this up, they'll suprise some people, get some respectable season and make a run at the SEC championship.

That's different than what I said. And even though your statement is completely subjective, I wouldn't necessarily disagree with it. It is an indisputable fact, however (not subjective opinion), that Tennessee is one of the top ten winningest programs in history, even despite our recent sub-par seasons. And it is also a fact that Florida, which is a johnny-come-lately, is NOT among the top ten winningest programs of all time, despite its more recent record of success.

I don't disagree with any of that. I was just adding my two cents for the sake of discussion and not to taunt.

Considering the fact Pearl owned your asses in BBall , while giving us some of the most memorable wins ever against FL in BBall, and considering we upset your candy asses this year in dramatic fasion, perhaps we should move on to BBall tradition, dumbass.
