Bill Curry and Johnny Majors reflect on GT/UT series

I'm not saying you're wrong. Tennessee has one of the more volatile, idiotic fan bases in the country. I'm just not like most of them. Johnny probably got screwed, but Phil also won 2 SEC titles, a National Title, and he beat Bama and UGA a lot. That goes a long way. He didn't fail with Peyton. We didn't beat Florida with Peyton, not many teams beat Florida back then.

Who cares if we lucked up with Arkansas? Almost every team that wins a title lucks up. Look at Clemson vs State last year or Louisville.

Fulmer beat a crippled Bama program with horrible head coaches and got to face off against Goff and Donnan. Hardly a murderers row. Once Saban got there he beat Fulmer easily and with a bad team his first year.

That's true, but we still were one of the top programs in the country in the mid to late 90's. We owned Georgia for a decade along with Bama because their coaching wasn't very good and we had elite talent. From '98 through '06 UT VS UF was the current version of Bama vs LSU. Those were big time games. It would be nice to get back to that.
