What win for Pat would this be?

 

[TennesseeFan07]

996 or 997. Not sure.

If they pull off a W this will be her 997th win. Her career record now is 996-185.

A few more tidbits from the UT site:

"...From 1980-1997, the Lady Vols claimed a total of six SEC regular season titles in 17 years. From 1998- 2004, Tennessee captured seven consecutive SEC regular season crowns producing an amazing 109-4 record. UT's only league losses were to Vandy, Georgia and LSU (twice) during this stretch.

EIGHT WAS GREAT
Over the years, eight Lady Vols teams have gone undefeated in SEC play: 1993, `94, `95, `98, 2001, `03, `04 and `07.

UT WINNING STREAKS VS. SEC TEAMS

Alabama 33 in a row, since 3-3-1984
Arkansas 14 in row, since 12-29-1996
Auburn 16 in a row, since 3-2-1997
Florida 3 in a row, since 2-26-2006

Pat will get her 1000th win at home if team can win next four games...

1/18: vs South Carolina
1/22: at Arkansas
1/25: at Auburn
1/29: vs Mississippi

That's a real big "if" for the Auburn game. They have a good shot at the others, but that Auburn game will be a battle.

 

[TrueOrange]

I'd actually like a loss or two in that span so that it can get more media coverage...1000 wins is really a huge deal.

But if we win out or they only lose to Auburn, the 1000th win comes either right before or right after the Super Bowl...and it will be lost in all the clamor and go pretty unnoted by the sports medias
