Tennessee is back.

[PlanetVolunteer]

It's official.

 

[volbound1700]

We are recruiting very well too.

 

[EconVol92]

Beat Bama and Georgia and it’s official.

Still too early.

 

[volbound1700]

Beat Bama and Georgia and it’s official.

Still too early.

Even the great Fulmer teams would be hard-pressed to do that.

 

[voltraveler]

Does my heart good to see LSU fans leaving their stadium in the third quarter. GBO

 

[RockyTopFox]

Until Heupel leaves for Oklahoma :/

 

[TNHopeful505]

It's official.

Man....I'm still jaded by 2016. We beat Florida and Georgia and had a great start, and fell apart.

This does not feel like that. But I'm still hesitant to say that just yet.

Beat Bama and Georgia and it’s official.

Still too early.

That's a lot to ask for any team, 1 of 2 would be great..

 

[TheMookieMonster]

In my mind, we’re not back till we beat Alabama or Georgia. Still, one hell of a season in Year 2 so far.

 

[Sgt.Rock]

Finally after waiting all these years. It is great to be a Tennessee Vol.

This game was the equivalent of that @ Texas A&M game and we are winning it.

Another note is the SEC just isn't as deep as it was in 2016. I think Alabama and Georgia are still very elite and Georgia is a lot better than in 2016 but the rest of the league seems down with the exception of Ole Miss and Kentucky. We don't play Ole Miss so that is good.

 

[Volprofch05]

It's official.

As someone who was a student at Texas, I’d caution against that wording

 

[jtupnsmoke]

Until Heupel leaves for Oklahoma :/

If Danny white wasn't our AD I'd feel the same, but I think they have a very good thing going.

 

[UT_VOLS13]

Until Heupel leaves for Oklahoma :/

Venables OU team is getting lit-up, at home.

 

[AstonRoyal]

It's official.

I'll wait until we beat Bama or Georgia until I'll say we're back.

 

[volbound1700]

If Danny white wasn't our AD I'd feel the same, but I think they have a very good thing going.

He also had a MAJOR falling out with Bob Stoops who kind of runs OU football behind the scenes. I don't see it happening unless OU really opens up the playbook like USC did with Riley.

 

[Pacer92]

Until Heupel leaves for Oklahoma :/

Ain’t happening..

 

[GetEmVols]

Beat Bama and Georgia and it’s official.

Still too early.

We have to win a national title to be back? Stop

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

In my mind, we’re not back till we beat Alabama or Georgia. Still, one hell of a season in Year 2 so far.

Idk

We are relevant

Firmly a top ten team with recruits coming in, our coaches are great.

We all have different ideas on what back means.

Being relevant means we are back in my book.

 

[Gandalf]

Well, its been a LOOOOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGG time since we have been ranked in the top 10 much less stayed there.

Beaten 3 ranked teams!

 

[tennesseepride84]

Until Heupel leaves for Oklahoma :/[/QUOTE the way Oklahoma looking, they may come calling for him soon.

 

[orangetitanfan]

Even the great Fulmer teams would be hard-pressed to do that.

Georgia didn’t start having our number until Fulmer left. They were pretty much a win every year back then.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Finally after waiting all these years. It is great to be a Tennessee Vol.

Even at our worst it was still great to be a Tennessee Vol. Because everything else is second tier.

 

[Boone&Crockett]

Stop the d*mn fumbling!

 

[orangetitanfan]

He won’t leave. He loves it here to much.
