Dalton Hilliard is one of my all time favorite tigers. Very underrated runningback. Other favorites were Jerry Stovall and George Rice...and of course Bert Jones.

Enjoyed the highlights. :cheers:

So by your "logic," Georgia will finish in the top 5 eight more times before Tennessee does once, then Georgia will finish in the top 5 eight more times before Tennessee does once, then Georgia will finish in the top 5 eight more times before Tennessee does once, then....Makes perfect sense. Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia, and always will be.

Not at all. You are using poor logic and misrepresenting what I am saying.

Look. In the last 5 years (The time that Huepel has been at Tennessee, which is your best teams in the last 10-15 years) Tennessee's record is 45-20. Respectable. Georgia is 65-7.

Now. You tell me. Which team do you believe is trending toward a top 5 season?

In the last 5 seasons, Georgia has finished #1, #1,#4, #6 and #6 in the AP poll.
Tennessee has finished UNR, UNR,#6, #19, #9, UNR

Y'all really think Tennessee is closer to being ranked top 5 in the country than Georgia is?


I asked a Vol fan earlier...in your honest opinion, what do you believe Tennessee's record will be this season? I honestly don't know have any idea what you have coming back or your expectations.
I will say, we are expecting a really good year. We have a ton of returning production on both offense and defense. Personally, I will be disappointed if we don't finish top 5 this year.

My bad forgive me for not knowing Georgias football history

It didn't stop you from commenting on it. Hint: If you comment on something like that, do better research. AI is awful.

That said, it was one of the greatest games I have ever seen. You should either watch the entire game on YouTube, or at the very least watch the link to the highlights. It would be well worth your time. :cheers:

7 years at $13 million.

Ole Miss math says its $100m

It is $91 million. I have a feeling he was making a general statement. :lol:

So it's only a safety or an extra point return, an even slimmer margin.

---

Uhh...yeah. That's what I said.

We should be able to make that up in *checks your notes* infinity.

Sure, if we don't win anymore. I mean, are Tennessee fans still trying to say that they are trending in the right direction? That Tennessee is more likely to finish top 5 before Georgia? I mean, odds are that sooner or later it will happen, because it has only been 24 years since it last happened. :dunno:

Right on the verge. :lol:

Tennessee COULD do it in two years if you finish top 5 the enxt two years in a row and Georgia is unable to to do it. But since it's been 24 years since you did it last....

UGA just caught and surpassed TN in this metric in 2021

---

Which should tell you something about where the teams have been doing the past 30 years or so. I mean seriously. You hanging on to success your team had in the 1930s as proof you are trending in the right direction?

quote:

---

Given that TN has had two top 10 finishes in the last 4 years I think we are trending up from where we had been.

---

However when you check out their record in the other seasons you could also argue they are trending downward, couldn't you? Take a look at the records they have had under Huepel and tell me you feel good going forward. Huepel has been there for 5 years. I guess this year will tell us where your team is headed. Out of curiosity...what do you predict UT's record will be? (Honest question, I have no idea how y'all are looking)

quote:

---

Now the answer is UGA.

---

Then you should understand what I was saying when I told the other Vol poster that saying it is "only" a FG behind us downplays how far away 3 top 5 finishes actually is.

For the record, I went back to check and unless i missed some thing it looks like Georgia is only 2 top 5 finishes ahead of Tennessee. I find it to be 15-13. Looks like AI may have checked, or i missed one somewhere. Both are very good programs. All of the ranking teams is dumb, imo.

So basically yall just caught and surpassed us?

---

Well, if you are talking about the last 24 seasons, then yes.

quote:

---

AP poll has been around since the 1930s and it took 80 years for yall to pass us in this metric

---

Fair point. Now which direction are the schools going in? Is Tennessee more likely to put up a string of top 5 finishes or is Georgia?

Considering all I have heard on this board is DeBoer sucks and can't recruit, the Alabama program is in rapid decline not to ever be resurrected and the NIL era has relegated the Capstone to second tier status - Alabama.

---

I was actually thinking the same thing. From all the talk of Alabama's demise, I would pick them.

They will drop 3 of these 4

Ohio St
Tenn
OM
OU
A&M

:lol:

They will drop 3 of...how many?

I didn't realize how well rounded the Florida athletic programs have been. You actually have more top 10 finishes than we do. (31 to 26)

---

Florida, like Texas has always had a well rounded, strong athletic program. LSU is usually near the top, too. It looks like LSU has dropped off a bit lately, though.

quote:

---

Well except for UGA having their own Hernandez now (Ahkil Crumpton).

---

Which is why I always find it odd that posters rush to the board to report and gloat when a player from another team does something. We all have players and former players that get into trouble. The only way to stop it is give them someone to follow them around for the rest of their lives to try to keep them out of trouble.
