They took on stadium expansion and mega tons of debt when their attendance was falling because of their poor on field performance.

As was mentioned above when they were doing well in football was when the rest of the surrounding states were not doing so well in football. As Georgia's performance went down, Tenn's went up and the same with Ala, Aub and USe. I remember wondering if I would live long enough to see Georgia kick their ass again with any regularity.

You may remember when Kiffin flew the coop Dooley was about their 5th choice. They had been turned down by every "name" coach they had approached. They had a devil of a time hiring a coach this time. Butch Jones was way down their wish list. Will he be the saviour? 

Too much debt can sink any enterprise. It sounds like they should have postponed that last stadium improvement. Paying coaches not to coach sounds like a lot of money but small compared to construction debt. In the end it all adds up.

I’m so fen’ tired of hearing this bull-$hit.

South Carolina East as some people like to refer those asses . Have fen’ NEVER had a good string of wins until now, the most they had until now has been four--- fen’ (4) in a row and that was between 1989-1990, the best team was 8-4, that’s really fen’ good-Huh? Well it is for south carolina . Oops-- I’m sorry they did win seven in a row back in 1928-1934, but as lowiq would say, “I’m in the wrong time frame” . But even than the best record was 6-2-2 (70%) And that was the best damn team and the last they had until they their second and last (until this year) All-American in 1984 when they won their first 10 season game and went  10-2. Oh they now went two year in a row winning 10 games and have a 9 game winning streak. And Why!! that’s fen’ because Tennessee and fen’ Georgia are down well they must be down because SC but a whomping on there asses!!.

So fen’ please do not embarrass the real USC and call those fen’ pussies USC-E.

Wow!! do I need another beer

I wanna apologize for my out burst last night, to many fen’ millers.

And I see no one posted since!! Sorry again!!

But I do get upset when people make post but can’t show me some facts. Just don’t start saying Tennessee was good only because teams like Georgia , and S. Carolina was bad.

Anyone who knows me other than my snide remarks about some southerners or sec teams I usually always try to show some data (yea, maybe it’s not in the time frame that the poster had in mind) but at least something to back up what I say.

And anyone who has read some of my posts, I’m always mentioning a teams cycles or equilibrium (a teams normal win %), well that is exactly what lowiq and a few other sec fans were talking about when they were trying to compare Tennessee with Georgia and South Carolina (or should I say USC-E).

But here’s the difference I can show you guys, why USC-E shouldn’t be compared to anyone, especially the Georgia’s and Tennessee ’s.

I’ve been doing this bar-charting for years trying to find each team’s cycle or equilibrium, or even a pattern to see if I can predict their next rise or fall..

I hope this turns out, I have to up load it (never tried bar graphs before). And you might need to option your viewing or zoom to 125- 150% to get a better view of the charts. I don't know yet. but here goes.  

Just remember:

Red = losing seasons

Green=  seasons when a team won 50-60% of their games

Black = seasons when won 61-79%

Blue= seasons when won 80-100% of their games.

What were / I’m looking for is the Blue black ratio, to determine a teams cycle of good years. You will see that South Carolina doesn’t have that many good years of blue and black together..

The below picture shows, Georgia’s yearly bar chart on top, Tennessee’s in the middle and of course good ole fen’ USC-E on the bottom. Three is the most I can show at one time for comparing. You will notice both Georgia and Tenn. was both pretty good during the 40’s and early 50’s other than that, they seem to cycle opposite each other. .

I have these charts for every team from their beginning up through 2005 when I sort of quite charting, thinking I had enough info for what I wanted to do.
