re: Why do Tennessee fans think beating Northwestern was such a big deal?

I think the OP asks a good question.

But the problem is, the Northwestern game is brought up by our opponents fans more than it is brought up by us. Most of us agree that NW wasn't deserving of their ranking (they werent). But we don't set the schedule, we play who we play, and we dominated them. You can try and spin that into a bad thing all you want. But lately UT has had a problem with playing down to opponents levels. So seeing that was a whole lot better than a bowl game like UF for example, where they just got worked.
