An Impossible Dream, It Seems

[WoodsmanVol]

I dream it. Want to see it. Right now, I believe it. A dream that tears the fabric of reality asunder. Year 2023.
The Vols men BB wins the tourney championship. The LadyVols do the same. The Baseball Vols win
the college world series. The Vols football team wins the natty. Imagine!!!


Careful, WoodsmanVol, you're risking being infected with Jonathan Livingston Seagull-ism.

I think it's time for the OP's oatmeal and a nap.

Funny enough, it isn’t out of the realm of possibility. Just shows our growth as a program . The stars are aligning

LOL!!!!!!!

 

[turbovol]

Let's relax. We've won 2 games. It's a win SIX tourney.

The reality of the "dream" is that Tennessee is reasonably in the discussions for all of those. Statistically it probably would not happen, but to contend in all of those sports is a tribute to Danny White, among others

It is also possible that I win $1 Billion in the lottery this year.

At least Neil Diamond plays your life's soundtrack. That is a huge bonus.

I liike the OP - if you never dream, if you never look on the bright side and hope your team takes it all, then what fun is it?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Let's relax. We've won 2 games. It's a win SIX tourney.

If we play like we did against Duke, I don’t think any team can beat us. Of course that’s a huge IF.

Puff, puff, pass

Heupel approves your statement for Javelin Joe's squirrel hunting with the FGM-148.

I would think some Waffle House scattered smothered covered to soak up the booze and a 12 hour sleep would be more in order.

Relax, hell! We're rolling!

In the history of college sports, what you look for has never been done.

In fact, I couldn't find a single instance of any school winning national titles in three of the Big Four sports (let alone all four) in a single year.
I know two have been won in a single year, most recently (I think) in 2014 by UConn when both their men and women won the NCAA basketball championships. But I couldn't find any evidence that any school ever won three of the four in one year.

[though Stanford has had some crazy-good runs in combinations of several of the Olympic sports]

Heck, only 29 universities have EVER (forget in a single year) won titles in more than one of the Big Four. Tennessee is one of those, since we have national titles in both football and women's basketball. Nine programs have won national titles in three of the four,* and one of those can claim a national crown in all four at some point in their history. Yep, Stanford. Though some folks think Stanford's football title claims from back before WWII are pretty iffy (but the NCAA recognizes them).

So I'd love to see our BasketVols or BaseVols -- or both! -- win a title this year to make us the tenth university ever to win it all in three of the Big Four sports. That'd be cool.

And I'm with the OP: winning all four in a single year would be just simply awesome. We can dream.

We're rolling!

Go Vols!


* The nine are Cal, Florida, Maryland, Michigan, Ohio State, Stanford, Texas, UCLA, and USC.

You left out the softball team which might have the best chance out of all of them to win a natty

Haven’t played back to back good games in a while. Hope that changes Thursday

"Tennessee has a very real chance to reach a rare triple in college sports: playing in a major bowl, and reaching the Final Four and College World Series in the same season.... The Vols’ dominating 2nd-round win over Duke in the NCAA Tournament was merely an extension of what began in the 2021-22 sports calendar, and has become undeniable in 2022-23. They’re closing in on the college sports trifecta.

The last to do it was Louisville in 2012-2013, when the Cardinals beat Florida in the Sugar Bowl, won the NCAA Tournament and played in the CWS." Hayes: Major bowl, Final Four and CWS? Tennessee has a chance to make some history
