Other than the Tennessee Vols

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

are there any other college programs in the state that play football?

I know there are some quality high school programs I have read about in the newspapers in Knoxville and Nashville but nothing about any real teams that play college ball other than the Vols.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[crusader11]

This a joke?

Off the top of my head:

Austin Peay
Memphis
Vanderbilt
Chattanooga
Middle Tennessee
Tennessee Martin
Tennessee Tech
Tennessee State

[Silenoz]

Tennessee Tech


...and State


....... and Martin


Think that's all of them, unless someone like Murray State is in TN. No-one noteworthy of course. The SOCON used to have two programs in MTSU and ETSU.

[dbackjon]

Alphie - lol

Vandy is 3-0, with a big win over Mississippi last weekend
Memphis sucks, but suits up
MTSU is in the SuckBelt

OVC has TTU, UT-M, TSU, APSU
Southern has Chatty

MTSU was in the OVC.

Murray is in KY, about 10 miles north of the TN border.

Well I tried, but you guys had to ruin it

[crusader11]

Memphis is weak this year, but they are usually a pretty solid team in CUSA.

Like Memphis, Vanderbilt isn't a football powerhouse, but it is still SEC football and they would beat most teams around the country.

Chattanooga, as you know well by know based on the pub they have been receiving on this board (mostly by their fans), is quite strong this year in the Southern Conference.

Middle Tennessee plays in the Sun Belt and are traditionally one of the better teams in that conference.

The rest of the teams play in the Ohio Valley and are usually in the middle of the pack. OVC posters would know much better about their caliber of play than I would though. Suffice to say, that's 8 teams in Tennessee that play football who happen to be every bit as "real" as high school football.

[TheRevSFA]

Man you guys aren't getting his smack talk.

Nicely done Alpha...too bad these other guys didn't catch it.

[crusader11]

Haha, is this intended to be a dig at Chattanooga? I do my best to keep up with those threads / banter, but clearly this one went over my head.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

I forgot about Vandy but I can't really think of any other ones off the top of my head other than the Tenn. Martin, TTU that are in our division. I remember when we were in Chatty there was some school there with an adequate stadium though. I think that was Tusculum or something like that.

[TheRevSFA]

I thought everyone in AGS was supposed to list their location in terms of hours and directions away from the Mecca?

I think it says so in TOS

Moved this to Smack - oh wait, nevermind...

[StorminASU]

4 hours and 51 minutes away from all that is college football; where storied programs like Alabama, Notre Dame and others come to pay their respect and bask in what they could have been; where legends of the game ask for their ashes to be spread so that they might rest in peace. I feel so honored to know that if I look to the Western sky, I might catch a glance, a mere fleeting glimpse, of the epitome of man that Chattanooga, TN encompasses.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Thanks for the information guys........its nice to learn that there are a few other schools in the state that Al Gore is from. So what that the rest of the country really doesnt give a squirt of piss about Tennessee as long as the whiskey keeps flowing out to distributors.

It might as well be Maine for christ sake. xcoffeex

We have a state called Maine...sounds pretty gay.

"We're an FCS Football team. But since we haven't won a pennant in almost 30 years, nobody recognizes us - not even in our own hometown. That's why we carry the American Express card. No matter how far out of first we are, it's cool. You know, it keeps us from getting shut out at our favorite hotels and restaurant-type places."

Wait, wait, wait.....................IS QUITE STRONG THIS YEAR IN THE SOCON!?!? xchinscratchxxchinscratchx

They haven't even played a SOCON game yet. Nevermind what some of the Chatty fans might say.....they already have the SOCON title knocked out on paper. Sort of like Elon did a few years back.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Wait, is SoCon short for Soccer Conference?



If so, that and the fact Tennessee is involved would explain why nobody has ever heard of this.

I think App is in this conference, but I've never heard of a team from Tennessee playing us. Maybe a writer got confused or something.

xlolx

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

So there is only one football team (App St) in the conference and the rest are soccer playing schools? You guys down south sure make things goofy and stuff.

[StorminASU]

ELON PIC

I'll never get tired of this, haha.

[StorminASU]

There's two football teams, ASU and GSU. The rest in the conference are either Women's basketball or competitive basket weaving.

There's TENNESSEE TECH dammit xlolx...where, well, pretty much nothing happens of note. The whiskey in TN sucks, too, imo.

It's European Football, but they get confused and keep ending up on here instead. They thought this was where you talked about Fox Soccer Channel, not FCS.

Well it is easy to confuse FSC and FCS......now this is all starting to make sense.

I hear from Chattownmocs it's also easy to accidentally pick up a blouse from the women's section of JC Penney and wear it to work before you figure out your mistake. Live and learn I guess.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

That depends on the women in that section usually. Some of those chicks can be pretty uptight about trading clothes and a word to the wise here...you should always ask before you just start taking clothes off them.

Glood lord they make a commotion if you don't ask.

Have you seen the women in Tennessee? They are as wide as they are tall, easy mistake to make.

[The Eagle's Cliff]

It's not exactly in TN, but there's a town in the "gray area" of Ga's northern border where they built a stadium for Ga Southern and App St to host FCS Championship games and some local high schools and the local college play games there during the regular season. Sadly, Frisco, TX out bid them recently so unless you need to buy some drugs, pick up a "date", or admire urban decay, there's nothing to see.

That's the one I was thinking of! It's too bad they didn't have an FCS presence there other than hosting that game cuz I always had fun there.

[Skjellyfetti]

I know there are some quality high school programs

Didn't read the whole thread so, it might already be covered... but, Tennessee's high school football is relatively poor. There are some good programs like Alcoa and some in the Memphis area... but, compared to the Louisiana's, Georgia's, Alabama's, South Carolina's, Florida's, etc. in the SEC Tennessee is at a distinct disadvantage because their high school teams aren't nearly as good as their competitor's. They have to recruit nationally to make up the difference.

[TTUEagles]

Come on now...don't lump the rest of the state and it's schools and it's women and its other attributes in with another poster frequenting these threads that is p*ssing everyone off...
I've been to a lot of these states that other posters are from - don't make me go citdog on you...

You're obviously not a very good fisherman...you caught a lot of little one's, but the big one got away. Chattownmocs drives me crazy, but I give him credit...he throws out a lot of bait, but never bites on it himself. I guess it makes him a "master baiter"

Easy now, I've been posting on behalf of Chattanooga since 2007. I've endured all the ridicule from those years, but continued to post. So I'm not a bandwagon fan. I also haven't proclaimed us SoCon champs either. Until you prove it on the field, you can't boast.

[alvinkayak6]

B.J. Coleman is so over-rated it makes my head spin. Is he even better than DeAndre Presley? Doubtful. Let's see what he does in conference this year and compare all his performances against Ameet Pall, Brent Russell, and Ryan Steed.

+1 and rep given.

I am familiar with some of the programs in the Memphis area. My high school alma mater beat one of them for a thing called the Tennessee State Championship last year. The team we beat did not take it all that well so the TSSAA banned them from the playoffs this year (maybe next). We also have Alcoa this season and next, which should be very interesting.

That is why I said some......you guys that have been around a lot understand how to have a intelligent football convo.

American Express...don't steal home without it.

I love the analogy here...because in the film, the Indians make it the playoffs (after beating the defending champs). Sounds good to me.
