What happened to Tennessee over the last 11 season?

Yep. LSU upset them in the SECCG that year, and that was after the Vols had beaten them in the regular season. They (the Vols) were never quite the same after that.
I'll never forget listening to that game on the radio and going to bed with a warm and fuzzy feeling that night.
Let me also toss this in the ring. Others have mentioned karma and such, and yes, I tend to believe in that. But beyond our feelings about Fulmer, I'm sure that word gets out in football circles, as it does in any other area, about the actions of individuals. Could it be that no one with a real "name" wants to be associated with him? Sure, he was out of the picture for a few years (as far as we know), but while he was gone the tarnish was still there. Now that he's come back, could it be that it's worse now and everyone in the inner circles of football coaching knows to avoid him like the plague?
Just a thought.

I have no love for LSU. Every poster here realizes what you are insinuating.
Well the Israelites were lost in the desert for 40 years. UT could double that, and it would be fine with me.
They could literally lose every game they play and it would be fine with me.

When you sell your soul to the devil, in the short term life is grand. In the long term you will pay..... with interest.
Bamabuzzard and Earl are right....Nick Saban is what happened to Tennessee, and it’s pure unadulterated Karma to see them self destruct and sink so low.
Nebraska’s problems were self inflicted, while Tennessee’s were not. But they both have the same exact problems, just different circumstances at how those circumstances came to be.
Yep. Fulmer got a national championship for his deal with the devil. Unfortunately, Bama didn't go "out of business" and it's been hell to pay ever since.
Trying to get the hate started early? Okay.
SOS over the last 10 years:
L8U: 5, 15, 7, 15, 25, 5, 5, 5, 54, 5 - avg 14.1
Bama: 2, 14, 15, 19, 39, 2, 1, 1, 27, 9 - avg 12.9
In that time, L8U has never played a tougher SOS than #5, while Bama has done so 4x, twice playing the toughest schedule in nation.
So yeah, it's a real shame that our permanent opponent sucks now - because an even more difficult schedule would be more fair.
Mr. CA, the more appropriate statistical measurement is the median, to which LSU comes in at 6 and Bama 11.5. Thanks for doing the SOS research.Trying to get the hate started early? Okay.

I’ll be honest, I don’t think LSU wins in T town this year. I’ll let you know why in 2 weeks. We have two other games to play so I’m not ready to think about the game on 11/9.
I'll be upfront and let it be known that I am not a statistical wizard, but why would the median be more pertinent than the mean? The median being the middle value of the listed numbers, to which I have no idea where you are coming up with 11.5 and 6, neither of which appear on CA's list.Mr. CA, the more appropriate statistical measurement is the median, to which LSU comes in at 6 and Bama 11.5.

Of course, it has been several years since 8th grade math.
Gentlemen, please. You are both off. The appropriate mathematical measurement is mode. That puts LSU at 5 and Bama at 1. /end
Meanwhile Tennessee had a 7 game winning streak against Alabama & an NC during that time period. I don’t recall the masses making a big deal when Alabama was down. Remember when everyone was saying Florida had it to easy cross division opponent with LSU in the 90’s?? Remember when everyone complained about Tennessee had an easy November schedule back in the 90’s having Kentucky and Vandy and some cupcakes?? Hmmmmmmmm
