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

True, nobody claimed Northwestern was a juggernaut, but the preseason hype for Tennessee has reached unreal levels, and some of us are scratching our heads to try to figure out the root of it.

What we know about the Demo Party email leaks is that the DNC and Clinton came up with a message and focused on it, and yes even briefed people in the Mainstream Media on it.

My point is to not talk politics. Yeeek. We don't have politics any more.

My point -- is that this year, "Are the Vols going to do it this year?" is a theme that was picked up on a lot of different fronts in the Sports world and it got lots of play. There really doesn't have to be a definite basis for it.

I think many UT fans would be glad to forego the hype too.
