I'm the cautious one because I have a lot of history since I'm 76 and have been going to UT games since the 60s. If you are fortunate enough to witness one national title during your lifetime with Tennessee winning it, feel blessed. I have my one and hope for a second one before I go but I understand the realities.
My very good friend that traveled with me to many games outside of Neyland stadium and was a die hard Tennessee fan was unfortunate to have lived and then died without ever seeing them win one. He passed in 1997.
No one knows at this point what changes are going to be made in the next few years within college ball. The SEC will be more difficult to win in for all teams starting in 24 than ever. Future changes could make it even more difficult to get opportunities to win a NC.
If you're only talking SEC title, yes, I'm ready for one of those right now. Getting that seems almost as difficult as getting an NC for Tennessee. That will be hard to achieve as well.
