This year, I would choose Men’s Basketball

[Volizona]

If I was told that only one UT team could win a National Championship in 2025, and all other teams would not be able to win one, I would choose Men’s Basketball. Historically, I would choose football first and I would love to see Tony win another one, but for this year, I would choose Men’s Basketball. I really would love to see Rick finally reach the mountain top at the end his career and if we somehow get a 1 seed, I think this may be the best opportunity to give it a go. How about the rest of you, would you be willing to sacrifice Football, baseball, other sports if it meant a guaranteed Basketball Natty? I think there will be plenty more opportunities for Vitello, and Heupel, and for some reason I’m getting emotional about BB as the window of opportunity is getting smaller each year.

A MBB national title is arguably the 2nd most prestigious championship in American college sports behind football, IMO. And there's nothing that captures America like the pageantry of the NCAA Tournament. Would be awesome.

It has been far too long since we won one in Football!

I hope they win it all. But i do worry about the lack of depth on this team. Your playing like 7 guys. The SEC and NCAA tourney, those games where you only get one day off. The SEC you get no days off. And sometimes you get the ref that wants to be the show. Calls some picky fouls.

Hopefully we can avoid Pat Adams and Doug Shows!

I would like to see it but I just don't see it happening this year and this Saturday will probably end the 1 seed hope.

Idk, man. Vols are pretty good at home. We don't lose in TBA that often.
