re: How mediocre was Tennessee's 1998 NC? Everyone else sucked that year

The Alabama dynasty has terribly skewed people's perceptions of what champion teams used to be. Tennessee was and is a perfectly valid champion in the annals of history. Tennessee fans may overrate how good Tennessee was on a national scale back in the 90's but they were still nationally relevant for a good portion of 15 years which meant something in those days as outside of Alabama, Auburn and Florida no one else was really sustaining that level in the SEC at that time. We have nothing to be ashamed of from that 85-01 period.


It's also awful quiet in here about how Tennessee shut down Peter Warrick but hey
