Waldini, do you go by the alias "hunter roberts"?http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/writers/stewart_mandel/07/05/cfb.mailbag/index.html
Waldini:
:-)
Naw, I woulda attacked the selection of Iowa's coach over Tenn's....
Da Realist:
Phillip Fulmer (No. 9) has the highest winning percentage of all activecoaches, leads a program with the most bowl appearances of all time...
this, i didn't know. what about notre dame or texas or oklahoma orALABAMA!???
Waldini:
Hey man, I've just learned to accept my boys dont receive a lot ofpublicity, unless it's negative :-)
They've been as good as any program in the past ten years but people always seem to forget them. Of course losing to Florida 4 straight years would kinda make people not look you as an elite program, lol
Da Realist:
they've been good. i just didn't realize HOW good. most bowlappearances...EVER??? that's nothing to sneeze at. more than storied teamslike oklahoma, usc, michigan, alabama, ohio state and notre dame??? alabamagot how many titles...6? i know usc counts 11 and oklahoma counts 8(because that's all they said at the orange bowl last year). and the vols have more bowl appearances than these guys? damn, that's pretty impressive...if it's true.
Waldini:
It is true man....I told you folks been sleeping on good ole Rocky Top(whoo) for a min. I mean the 80s wasnt kind to them but at the beginning ofthe 90s the program began to resurrect itself, coupled with the nationalchampionship in '99. A couple of down years followed but the program is surging with the influx of talent they are getting.
All those programs you named either they are in down years or just recently got out of a long down period and are coming back to glory.
Gangsta D:
Who gives a f*ck about the Vols? How many nat'l championships do they have? They've been to the most bowls, but what's they're record. As far as I'm concerned Smokey is a bitch...
Da Realist:
if this is true, tennessee is the most low-key college football team i'veever seen. i gotta admit, before they started losing to steve spurrier, theonly thing they were known for in arkansas was the catchy "rocky top" song.about the only thing i know about tennessee's history is that reggie whiteplayed there. and i only found THAT out when tennessee played miami acouple of years ago in knoxville and reggie was a part of COLLEGE GAMEDAYpregame show.
but ask me about oklahoma (bud wilkinson, barry switzer), alabama (bear bryant), notre dame (knute rockne, paul hornung), ohio state (woody hayes, archie griffin), michigan (Bo Schembechler) or usc (oj simpson, marcus allen) and i'll know a lil something about them. you need to help get your boys on the map.
Waldini:
Like I said in the 80s the Vols were ok but did produce a few qualityNFLers (Reggie White, Alvin Harper). I'm shocked at Gangsta's blasphemous comments considering Mr Harper helped his BOYZ win a coupla SBs (noticed Ididnt say LEAD jabroni). As for now, they are pro football factory...Lookat who they have put in the pros: Peyton Manning, Jamal Lewis, Travis Henry, Peerless Price, Donte Stallworth, Al Wilson, Albert Haynesworth, Cedric Wilson, Jason Witten.
Now they arent producing as group like say the Hurricanes (who I think havethe best production of college to pro players since 1998) but these guyshold their own
Gangsta D:
Yep, Harper did his thing but his head got too big. He thought he could bethe #1 reciever for another team...just like Mr. Price. Know your role you Smokey Disciples...
Da Realist:
but i'm talking about their HISTORY! pre-1990. if
they've been good enough to lap the field in bowl
appearances where is the history? where are the
incredible aura defining games that seperate teams
like texas a&m from texas. where are the heisman
candidates? in other words, where's the beef?
where's the sizzle? notre dame has a famous movie
about it. alabama has "the bear". oklahoma has it's
scandals. usc has the "juice". texas beat arkansas
in "the greatest game" back in '69 with president
lyndon b. johnson in attendance.
what's so special about tennessee's history? how can
they have the most bowl appearances and not leave some
kind of stamp on the game?
