What the frick did the person say? He said the most feared program in the country. Not top ten. Not top three. The most feared program.

I gave reasons why I don’t believe that’s true - mainly that at least two other programs in the ‘90s (FSU and Nebraska) were more successful and had a higher level of physicality that plays even more into the fear angle.

If someone says Peyton Manning is the GOAT QB, and you explain why you think he comes up short against Brady or Montana or whoever, that doesn’t mean you think Manning was a bumbling idiot who was lucky just to be in the league.

Damn.

Quite the hill to die on. It's not that serious.

Unfortunately Indiana's schedule has typically been built to try to best get them to 6 wins and a bowl game. They never really had expectations beyond that. Its embarrassing for a national championship winning program to still schedule like this though. The other powerhouse big ten teams do typically try to play a big time out of conference opponent each year.

I think the OOC opponents are usually scheduled multiple years in advance. Is it garbage? Yup. Unfortunately, OOC is gonna be garbage until 2030 when they play Notre Dame (OOC through 2029 have already been determined).

Yeah Nebraska's would be the 2009 Big 12 title game when the officials gave Texas an extra second on the clock.

That was some BS, but justice won out in the end. It was too bad that it had to be Bama. Florida would have ANNIHILATED Texas.

And can you imagine? TCU would have played for the title. Yikes.

Florida was feared in the 1990's

Yes, they were. Not sure what Globetrotter is going on and on about. Florida might not have been the MOST feared, but they were top three every year. For sure the most feared in the SEC. I think only Vandy played them within one score in SEC play between 95 and 96. Florida will strike fear in opponents again with Sumrall.

Honestly, Ryan Day makes way more excuses than Kirby Smart. I think it has a lot to do with what school you're at and how much the media platforms you. I don't recall ESPN giving Lloyd Carr a platform to campaign for a rematch in 2006.

That was a de facto semi final game. But we got to see the Florida double. Tim Tebow and Joakim Noah were National Treasures, but for very different reasons.

Aww, poor babies complaining about schedules. Indiana won the Natty, and beat Ohio State, Alabama (meh), Oregon twice, and Miami. Cignetti is right, Big Ten does not whine and cry, unlike SEC schools.

Disagree about Nebraska; they still made the title game. South Carolina should be 2013 Tennessee. I would think Oklahoma would be the Rose Bowl against Georgia

It only is because it's a member of Alabama athletics. I mean, you guys defend Henry Ruggs to the hilt. If Oats coached at Auburn, you guys would be crucifying him. But it's Alabama, so we know, you'd let an Alabama football player bang your wife and kids if it meant a championship.

Never, ever stop in Crow Agency, MT at night. Bathroom felt like something out of a Balkan horror movie - hanging wires, flashing lights, unknown stains and graffiti, and angry locals.

Custer, MT is not much better, but Crow Agency is terrible. Of course, in regards to angry locals, 96% of them are Native Americans, so they hate outsiders. Our church did some work in Pine Ridge, SD, and the locals were very hateful toward us, but I get it.

Every single thing said in that article is completely true and quite obvious but naturally the soccer purists are going to not get it because they're basically a cult.

They have no actual interest in having a meaningful discussion about anything.

Trash post, not even worth a response. NBA is boring. NFL is unwatchable. Baseball and soccer are amazing.

All meaningless drivel. Auburn and Florida aren’t on here trying to pump themselves up and spewing garbage all the time. They know they’ve been down and act accordingly. Both programs have still have done more in the last 25 years to sit down and take a healthy dump on Tennessee. It’s also rather humorous you would even bring up LSU, like you are even in same realm of a program.

And if UK basketball continues on the same path for the next 15 years, they would be in the same spot Tennessee football is in today…expect with 6 more national titles in their history.
