I can hardly believe it! My 22 year old son just texted me that THIS IS THE FIRST VOLS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP- IN HIS LIFETIME!!!!!!

I guess I was “SPOILED”! When I was a student at Tennessee, I saw Peyton Manning’s Senior season, Then the VOLS won the NC in football- 1998!

Meanwhile, The Lady VOLS basketball won the NC in 1996, 1997, & 1998!

But, I Raised him right! — VFL!

We HAVE to win this MCWS!

26 YEARS! — Are you kidding me?!!!!!

It’s been 26 years? For what?

Baseball is its own thing.

This will be a first.

Softball, football, swimming, tennis are all their own thing.

Here's a cool chance conversation ? I guess that would be a good choice of words. I 'm 71 yrs old, and bleed ORANGE . I have Tennessee hats, socks, shirts, stickers on my truck, and a Tennessee Orange golf bag. I was playing in Syracuse Utah on Tuesday and waiting to tee off and a younger guy walks by my cart and says "Go Vols" I gave him a fist pump and agreed. I then asked him what he thought about the baseball VOLS. He proceeded to applaud them and said he was a big fan even though he went to Auburn. The best part ? he said his Dad played at Tennessee as a pitcher in 1973 !! His name is Bob Wittlesey from Clinton Tennessee ! How cool is that !

Rugby is a club sport, yes, not an NCAA sport.

Our last national title was in Men's Doubles Tennis 2 or 3 years ago--not a team title, obviously.
I know it's a club sport....However I wouldn't and doubt you would either... go out on the field when they are practicing and tell them their NC didn't count.
