Video in response to "Talk to your kids about Iowa"

Evidence of "one bowl game."

Let's repeat that. One bowl game. One game. One.

How long will you hang on to that in order to convince yourself that the Vols are better than the Hawkeyes?
You can't be serious. Is this sarcasm?

Tennessee lost exactly 3 bowl game starters coming into the '15 season. Our best players all returned and most of them were Fr and Sophs when they dominated Iowa, a team reliant on physically developed upperclassmen. Didn't you have two high draft picks on your LOS? UT would beat Iowa even worse right now. Sorry.
 
UT would beat Iowa even worse right now. Sorry.

Lucky for you, we don't have the opportunity to prove you wrong. Lucky for us, we don't have the opportunity to get beat again. In other words, it is pointless to even speculate about it. We *MIGHT* be lucky enough to play whoever wins the SEC but I want to emphasize none of us really expect that. I think the average Iowa fan expects to be either 11-1 or 12-0 and representing the B1G west division in Indianapolis. Anything after that in a playoff situation would be absolute gravy. How's your season again?
 
Congrats on what you did 5,6,10, & 11 years ago? Maybe I'm dense, but not sure what that has to do with UT. I said the video was funny...I'm not worried about the SEC's rep, we're doing fine...my only points were:
1. Inbreds? That's weak.
2. You minimized our head to head bowl win by saying you were only a 7-6 team. Uh, we were, too. Actually, I guess that doesn't tell the whole story since Iowa was a 7-5 team coming in while UT was only 6-6.
3. The irony of an SEC myth video from Iowa fan considering that most recent bowl game. The one where you played an SEC team with a worse record. And got completely outclassed. Almost like it's not a myth that a 6-6 SEC team is much better than a 7-5 Big10 team. Are you following any of this?

If you think that Iowa team resembles the current one in any capacity your brain is void of deduction. For starters, Iowa was using a fullback at running back last season. I repeat, a fullback at running back trying to run stretch plays. This year, Iowa was the first team in 19 years to have two different running backs rush for 200+ yards in back to back games. The run game, and quarterback, are night and day compared to last season. So I'm not really sure what your point is other than clinging to one game when Iowa was a program on a major downward slide and Tennessee was starting to see some life after three straight losing seasons. The Iowa coaches changed things up in January (hence this talk of "Kirk 2.0", while the player leadership has also gotten better according to players. Both of these have made a huge impact on this season. This team is a different animal compared to the squad at the Taxslayer Bowl, and to suggest otherwise is just dumb (no offense).
