    We appropriated BAS as BVS

    That made me chuckle.

    Yeah, I get all that. I certainly think the narrative on r/cfb only reinforced that view of the Tennessee program. I actually found it really sad how random folks would pile on for no reason (beyond the Butch Jones stuff, which did deserve the mockery). And more so than any other school, although Michigan, Texas, and A&M are also up there. I’m glad our community seems to have left behind some of that toxicity.

    UT is a blueblood

    Now here’s where I have to disagree with you… Unless you’re referring to a certain orange SEC-bound school with a Manning QB, there are only 8 blue bloods and that’s not going to change anytime soon, unless it drops down to 7 because Nebraska can’t figure itself out.

      UT is a blueblood

      I told you I’d fight for this, and I can certainly settle for agree to disagree. But right now we’re still top 10 all time win percentage and 11th all time wins. We’re 8th all time for National Championships, including the first ever BCS championship. Sure we’ve no Heisman winners (the football gods non ironically have a bone to pick with us on that one it seems). But we’ve beaten Alabama more than any other team (including one General Robert Neyland whom never lost to the Bear) and still maintain a winning record with pretty much everyone else. All of this is with the last two decades being our worst stretch ever of this length. We’ve been to every NY6 bowl and have won all but the Rose. We’ve got the tradition and market presence of any blue blood and The Pride of the Southland is the best marching band (with the best routine!). What holds us back is we’ve had single decades as bad as these most recent two every here and there plus we’re the only team in the nation with scheduled fixtures against bama, UGA and florida so when we’re bad everyone knows. In all I think that we’ve at least got a leg to stand on in this argument and again I’m more upset that the conversation I normally have about TN is that we aren’t on the same level as Kentucky and SCar (who’ve been better than us for most of these prior two decades).
