- UT has over 800 wins in their history. Only 7 teams in the history of NCAA Div 1 football can say that: Michigan, Texas, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Tennessee. Vandy?
- UT has an all time record of 804 - 361 - 53 which puts them 10th in all time winning percentage in the history of the NCAA. Vandy?
- UT has won 13 SEC champtionships which is second all time in the history of the SEC. How many has vandy won?
- UT has won 6 division titles since the SEC broke into Eastern and Western divisions in 1992. Vandy?
- UT is 3rd in the history of the NCAA in bowl appearances (49 bowls) and is 6th in bowl wins. Vandy?
- UT leads Vandy in their all-time series 73 - 32 - 5.
But yeah, we can't win football games.
The East was as bad as ever this year, with UT being at its lowest point in history, as well as UF, but Vandy, with their best team ever, still couldn't win the east. I guess maybe one year you will luck into it.
Even with UT at it's lowest point in history, we still aren't scared to face strong teams. Whereas if you are vandy, you schedule 4 patsy non-conference games to assure you get to a bowl game. UT plays anyone anywhere, but vandy........
Even with UT in the midst of a losing season, our coach had us with the #2 ranked recruiting class (currently #3) while your best coach only had you barely in the top 25 which is good for the lower tier of the sec.
Good luck with your new coach. Actually seems like a great guy. However, people should warn him that this is the SEC. You have to get up for 8 conference games...not just 1 or 2 a year like the Pac-12.
