Tennessee has yet to win anything realistically

Quite possibly your worst take on this board. It's astronomically terrible
Bottomlessly, incomprehensibly terrible. Disastrously dumb.

We beat the team that has won several times more NCs in the last fifteen years than any other - which also happens to be a team we had not beaten in fifteen straight tries.

So yeah, the idea that this team has done nothing yet, is about as colossal of a fail as a human thought could ever possibly be.

It’s nice to finally beat Bama but we take our focus off the wheel we will be in the ditch. One game at a time as we are winless the way I see it . True…

I like what Fulmer said to the team in ‘98 after beating Florida. “Yes, this win feels great, but it’s what we take and do with it that matters. We have to focus on one game at a time to make this win count.” That is a great mindset to have as a coach and a player, but as a fan, I’m more than happy dwell on this excellent moment. We beat Bama! 😁

The possible ongoing win in the long running recruiting battle is potentially ground changing too. I wish there was some way to get a real time measurement on that. But that atmosphere and result Saturday had got to have moved the needle in a meaningful way with a bunch of prospects. Tennessee is the “cool school” again for the first time in a looooong time

This right here. JH can already keep up with the big boys with inferior talent as far as depth is concerned. Imagine in a few years what things will look like when he reels in top 10 after top 10 recruiting classes. Working on one of those for this year, maybe a top 5 one for next year.
 
Peyton Manning… our greatest QB before Hooker. One of the 2-3 GOATs in the NFL and a first ballot HOFer.

During his TN career, Is he remembered more among general CFB fans for winning the SEC or for losing to Florida every year?

I’ll hang up and listen…
Neither! Tom Brady is the G.O.A.T period N.F.L wise! Statistics doesn't lie. Manning was a good college football player and won a couple superb owls and that's it.
 
Lol y'all I think he's trying to say that we should approach every week with a 0-0 mindset and focus on the upcoming game. Not to high off wins, not to low off loses (especially because we have none :p)

Umm no we aren't winless but yes there is a lot we could possibly do to negate those wins.
 
We have won the respect of our enemies.

We have won credibility in the sport of college football.

We have won a national spotlight usually reserved only for those in the playoff.

When Tennessee coaches call a player they want, from quality transfers to high-potential athletes to the big time prospects, their calls will now be routinely given priority status instead of being considered an afterthought or a backup plan.

The mere process of fielding a team that can punch toe-to-toe with the best this sport has to offer is a massive win on several levels for Tennessee.

Agreed on all counts. In addition we have also won exactly 6 games, ended 3 serious conference streaks that we couldn’t get past in many years and avenged the loss against Pitt. I know those things are sort of implied but since some people can’t seem to see any wins this season I wanna make sure they take note of the details.
