I remember when Desean Jackson and Cal football made Tennessee look ridiculously slow and thinking, this is the end for Tennessee.
Didn't Tenn win the SEC East that year and beat UGA by 3 TDs? Those Cal teams in the 00s were pretty good, look at the NFL players they put out.

Rural Tennessee is basically just a carbon copy of Deliverance.

Tennessee hasn’t won the east since 2007. They lost to lsu that year.

Memphis is closer to Ole Miss, Miss St, and Arky than UT.

Georgia, Louisiana and Alabama all had over 13. North Carolina had 12.
These states have more black people.

Because Memphis can only do so much.
Memphis really doesn’t produce many good football players and really haven’t since Melrose High and the rest of the inner city football programs went to shite. With the size and demographics you’d think it would, but it doesn’t
There are reasons, many due to trickle down effects of other issues the city continues to mismanage and make worse

I think Cedric Wilson went there. He was a great WR.

Google the cotton belt. That’s your answer

Half of Tennessee's Black population lives in Memphis. The other half are in north Nashville, east Knoxville, and Chattanooga. Outside of the urban areas, Tennessee is lily white.

While true, there are tons of athletes being churned out by Memphis preps and in the public schools outside I-240.
Not to mention the Memphis metro athletes that go to HS in Mississippi.
