re: Vols next national championship

Tennessee and Texas A&M in the Big 3 are basically the same. It took a down Florida team for the Vols to break through in 1998. Other than that, 1951 would be by its lonesome for the Vols.

Aggies and Vols have ZERO Men’s Final Fours

Aggies and Vols have ZERO CWS national championships. Vols did make the Finals once, losing to…..

Both have had success in football but not much success in reaching the top with a combined THREE poll era national titles.

Let’s put this into perspective. The University of Minnesota only cares about ice hockey. Otherwise, their current Big 3 is not great. BUT…it still doesn’t take away the fact that since 1936 when the AP football poll began and since 1947 when the College World Series began, Minnesota has SEVEN national championships (4 in football and 3 in baseball) and the last of those titles was in 1964. Minnesota alone in football national championships has more than Tennessee and Texas A&M combined.

When either of you get past Minnesota in Big 3 accomplishments, then you can boast.
