Reasons why Tennessee will win
- Thread starter TellMomHi
- Start date
Sweet baby Jesus. You guys really do live on another planet. When you go 7-6 the next 3 years, I’ll be curious to to hear how the narrative changes. When was the last time you won 10 games?
He really should have held his head in shame after his two interceptions helped your amazing squad to lose at home to Texas Tech. “Texas' final drive ended when Longhorns quarterback Sam Ehlinger threw another interception at the Texas Tech 20 with 1 minute to play.” You lost to Texas Tech AT HOME.

Good leaders do not allow their play to change their body language.
Watch great QBs compared to average QBs especially in CFB. You see a difference in terms of body language.
You expect mistakes from a true freshman QB but when you see a true freshman that can lead a huddle you know you have a QB you can build on.
You can count on one finger the number of truly elite QBs in CFB the last 30 years.
QB is the most overrated position in CFB and the NFL.
Give me 3 great OL over 1 supposed great QB any year.
Will Grier is no where close to being someone that can win by himself.
He was 7-4 last year as a starter
3-4 against bowl eligible teams
When he left Florida they still Won the SEC East without him

Hahaha! That’s why Texas has been garbage since 2010. Honestly, if you can’t get your facts straight, you won’t get much respect on here. First you wrote 6-5, then 7-4. Grier didn’t even play the entire first quarter of the Texas game, so it’s 7-3. But more importantly, this thread was supposed to be about Tennessee and WVU. What in the world does Texas have to do with it?
Take out the Texas game it is still 3-3 against bowl eligible teams.
85% of QBs would put up video game numbers and 85% of FBS teams would go 4-0 against
East Carolina
Delaware St
Baylor
Kansas
WV fans are obsessed with Texas.
Trust and believe you will be even more so at the end of the year.
Tom Herman told UT media if UT offense fails this year blame him.
Meaning that the OC will not be a scapegoat because Herman is very confident about the offense and team in general.

True...Vanderbilt is also 5-4-2 all time against the Big 12 (and its prior iterations).
Also from 2017...Vanderbilt beat Kansas State by 7...which WVU beat by 5. Transitive theory of football....Vanderbilt > WVU
Edited to correct outcome of WVU/KSU game.

No not obsessed. Intrigued is more like how we feel. We don't have big time donors to contribute money to build whatever new facilities we want to. We don't have a State the size of most countries like Texas does to recruit from. We don't have the 4 and 5 star recruits on the three deep roster like Texas does. We don't have the Natty's to use for recruiting or Heisman winners to tout to recruits. We sir, are intrigued how since we have been in the Big 12, Texas hasn't dominated us in football, and is our bitch in basketball. Intriguing indeed.
WV is only 5-4 against Texas in Bball the last 4 years.
4-4 in season
1-0 in Big XII Tournament
With both sides having one blow out win on their home court
7-7 in all of Big XII play
1-1 in Big XII Tournament
Explain how Texas isn’t dominant with all of the extra benefits. Especially football.
Who is great and why in CFB is debatable?
The CFP has helped a lot but it still leaves great teams out.
Texas will win their 900th game this year. Only Michigan can say that.
I wouldn't say Texas has underachieved historically. They have though since 2010.
Truthfully I doubt their down period will last much longer.
In Bball. Since the late 90's Texas has been one of the most consistent programs. Making the NCAA every year except for two
Their biggest issue are one and dones.
Texas has actually one of the best collection of NBA players right now. Top 3
A lot of Shaka's recruits are sticking around and they will be a Sweet 16 team this year.
Roach and Andrew Jones will be tough on the Big XII.
If one can underachieve then one can overachieve.
Meaning that because of tribalism to the state of Texas, segregation, lack of Northeast media attention prior to the 60's and bad decisions no one has seen the peak of Texas.
After Mack Brown won the NC because of VY he should have taken Texas recruiting nationally.
The program did not because of allegiance to Texas high school players.
This closed society prevented UT from reaching its peak.
Not to mention that Mack Brown was an administrator more than a coach.
He was actually AD at Tulane in the 80's.
Underachieving means a program can examine itself with a fine tooth comb.
So from a UT perspective it wasn't all horrible the last eight years.
Truthfully it has made Texas more determined and has allowed it to shed dead weight.
For a long term perspective it was great for the program that Mack Brown bottomed out.
Aggy..... Plus it is not a mutt but a lady.
Not to mention it is the head Cadet of the Cult....
Even though I think the Catahoula is the greatest dog ever created I would take a bluetick hound every day of the week over a mutt you can't take hunting
I wouldn't be talking about anyone else's dog if I was you
Seen better dogs in Tamaulipas, Mexico
So, why have they underachieved with all of the built in advantages over teams with so much less? Defining underachieving in your own words does not explain the reason they have underachieved in an unbalanced situation. I'm still intrigued about the lack of total dominance by Texas over WVU with a system in place (NCAA) lacking checks and balances and institutional control. You should win a Natty every 5 years in all major sports.
There was a time that Texas had won a NC in football, baseball and went to the Elite 8.
Only school to accomplish anything like this was Florida.
Then add women's basketball and softball no one for the last 25 years can compete with Texas.
More so all of sports as Texas has the third most combined NC
45 in all sports.
367 individuals NC
412 NC. Third all time.
Ahead of Michigan and UCLA but still trailing USC and Stanford

Whats wrong with his dog?
Just asking a question..
Has an athlete at West Virginia ever won a gold medal in the Olympics let alone any medal
Texas has 83 Gold Medals won by Olympic athletes.
More than 50% of nations that compete
In the last summer Olympics Texas won 10 Gold Medals
https://texassports.com/news/2016/8...s-with-13-total-medals-including-10-gold.aspx
Just an answer. Ginny Thrasher. But these goal posts keep moving. With all of the advantages at Texas, how come no domination in the major sports. Since WVU has been in the Big 12 it has been Oklahoma and everyone else in football, and Kansas and everyone else in basketball. WVU and Iowa St. compete heavily with KS in bball, and TCU/OKST compete heavily with OK in football. Texas is in the corner eating wet cigarettes like a dog. Waiting for an answer without talking about water polo.
Mack Brown, Rick Barnes and Augie Garrido are all great coaches.
You will rarely find a collection of coaches at that level at one university at one time.
With the standards at UT they were not good enough.
Enter three young hungry coaches.
Tom Herman
Shaka Smart
David Pierce
Pierce had UT in the CWS in year 2.
Herman is projected to have a 10+ win season in year 2
Shaka Smart has finally gotten the team he wants in Austin and in year 4 he is posed to get UT back to the Sweet 16.
Ultimately these three coaches can be better than their predecessors.
They may eventually, I agree. But you should be able to throw an average coach into Texas and OK and get better results with the advantages. For Christ's sake, Texas and OK can send an intern to a kid's house and just say "Texas", or "Oklahoma" and 5 stars will say "sign me up". Unless of course Ohio State sends a bag man. Texas has there own f'in network.
Ohio St is different because Ohio St has the advantage of being the only big time program in their state.
Put another P5 program in Ohio.
Texas because of the SWC had to deal with other big time programs in state.
More than that the Metroplex and Houston are alumni bases for a lot of other big time universities including OU, Arkansas, LSU and Ole Miss.
Yet somehow Texas continues to get virtually any recruit they want. Again, intriguing.
Untrue.
Even under Mack Brown this wasn't true.
Adrian Peterson? You truthfully think UT wanted to let him go.
It actually cost OU as their car dealership scheme was revealed
The word was virtually. They win many more battles than they lose. You are really dying on the wrong wall here bro.
True but they lose as well at least a few times a year even in the state of Texas.
Recruiting is not as easy as many think especially in Texas.
It is a snake pit with fanbases who will do anything to win a recruit.
