The college football version of the Cleveland Browns:
Neyland Stadium is now a Factory of Sadness where fans throw trash on the field after a terrible call (Cleveland did this against Jacksonville years ago).
We have had our own versions of Freddie Kitchens (Pruitt) and Hue Jackson (Butch).
We have had struggles getting a consistent answer at the QB position outside of a few exceptions (Clausen & Dobbs). If we put together a QB jersey with some of the starters we’ve rolled out over the past 20 years, it’d look very similar to the Cleveland QB jersey.
We have some of the most heartbreaking and depressing ways to lose games over the years much like Cleveland has (Jabar Gaffney 2000, Hobnail Boot, 2001 SECCG vs LSU, 2006 vs LSU, 2007 SECCG vs LSU, Wyoming, Alabama 2009, LSU 2010, Music City Bowl vs UNC, Kentucky 2011, The 2012 defense, Georgia 2013, Florida 2014, Oklahoma 2015, Florida 2015, Alabama 2015, A&M 2016, South Carolina 2016, Vandy 2016 & losing out on the Sugar Bowl, Florida 2017, Georgia State, BYU, JG in general, now Ole Miss 2021. I’m probably missing some, but yeah…)
And to top it all off, we have Jimmy Haslam involved much like Cleveland is owned by him.
Until proven otherwise, Tennessee Vols = The CFB Cleveland Browns.
