What will the SEC fans say when their powerhouse Tennessee gets into the SEC title game again?

Question

"Tennessee? LMAO they are like the worst team in the SEC!!!"

- SEC fans after the 2007 Cal-Tennesse game

"OMG Tennessee has never been a powerhouse in the SEC."

- SEC fans after the 2008 UCLA-Tennesee match

Answer 1

Tennessee is second-tier at best. Historically, yeah, they've managed to be pretty dominant. But in recent years, they've seen a serious slip in production. Time is running out for Phillip Fulmer. Even so, there is NO WAY they should have lost that game.

If Tennessee manages to get into the title game again by another freak of nature, and it was a freak of nature that got them in last year, then I will be truly shocked and inquire into whatever superstitious artifact they are using.

Answer 2

What sore losers? Tenn is among SEC's top right there with Florida and LSU. theyve been a better rep then Georgia in recent history. If im not mistaken (which im not) Tennessee won there conference last year and stands a good chance of doing the same this year! People want to down play them now because it means you have to give the Pac-10 respect as a whole (outside of USC). this loss just exposed the SEC. there'd be more losses on there records if they played other BCS teams instead of FCS teams. Shout out to Tennesee for not punking out like Georgia, Auburn, and LSU this week

Answer 3

That could happen.But hey give Tennessee some props for coming out west to play UCLA.,When other SEC teams played a bunch of cup cakes!!

Answer 4

If you root for Tennessee for those reasons, why don't you root for OSU. They came to play Washington, which was the pac ten champs the year they were scheduled, and now they are playing your beloved Trojans.

To answer your question, you have a better chance to have a rock admit something than you will having an SEC fan admitting something other than their conference is the best conference every year, with the top 5 teams every year.

Answer 5

You again, do you seriously not have anything better to do with your time, where you have to sit there and talk trash about other conferences?

You know you can talk good about your conference/team with out bashing others... of course you wouldn't know that...  

Answer 6

All I can say is this...I live in Knoxville, TN like 10 mins from the University and Im not a huge TN fan....yea UT lost last night at UCLA and yes Georgia and Florida are the top choices to win the SEC but TN always plays to the level of their opponent. I'll be at the Florida game and I think Tennessee will play well but not well enough. Tennessee is a powerhouse team in the SEC. Maybe not every single year but keep in mind they are one of the winningest programs in the nation. The top teams in the SEC are as by stats...Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and LSU. I think the SEC conference is undoubtedly the toughest out there and the PAC 10 would be close with the Big 12. Im an Iowa and Miami fan but I think the Big 10 is pathetic and the ACC has lost its potentcy. So all in all...............hate the SEC if you want but they have destroyed other conferences when it matters most.

Answer 7

Im going to post the same thing as I did at your other question...

LOL @ TENNESSEE BEING A "POWERHOUSE" IN THE SEC

Answer 8

Why are people saying Tennessee has never been a powerhouse? I hate TN because I am from there and I am sick of em, but they for a long time had a really good team if I recall. Do people forget the late 90's  

Answer 9

Yall will hardly win at all. Losses to Bama, UGA, UF, and AU will make sure you won't get to the SEC title game. UT sucks this year. You will lose at least 3 of those 4 games listed and might pull off an upset against 1 of the four....hopefully UGA but I highly doubt it.

Answer 10

You mean the Tennessee team that has Florida and Georgia in its division?

Surely you cant mean that one.

Answer 11

I'm a South Carolina fan, and I do not think that you have to worry about Tennessee being in teh SEC title game again this year.  They will be lucky to win 5 or 6 games this year.  I can't wait for South Carolina to play them in Columbia.
