Sure 6-5 is "winning". Congrats again. I would rather be 1-11 and then 11-1 with a championship then a bunch of 8-3 seasons.

My original post pertains to football, mens basketball, and baseball. I'm not keeping track of women's gymnastics championships. So if UT or anyone else has championships in those kinds of sports then I'm sorry for the slight.

Then why would you say "All Sports" if you did not mean it?

Hmmm, lets compare:

Tennessee: National Champs 1938,1940,1950,1951,1967,1998

LSU: National Champs
1958,2003,2007

Most SEC titles:
1-Alabama
2-Tennessee
3-Georgia
4-LSU

Not winning sure has been good to us, or do you want to keep doing this?

Nope, I'm pretty content with my stance. Tenn has been riding on an overrated reputation since the 1970's. Besides, I said BCS championships, all that 1930s bullcrap is irrelavant.
I find it embarassing that this great program has never been to the final four, won a baseball championship (is this even correct no one rebutted?) and 1 BCS championship. The only thing they have is following Peyton Manning in the pros and he couldn't even bring a heisman or championship to the school. But he is a pefect example of the overrated comment I originally made.

He meant UGA in baseball. Some moron from UT said that they had never won in baseball. I'm noticing that they aren't very good with facts.

The only year you have there with the AP and/or UPI and the BCS is 1951 and 1998...if you are going to count all of UT's then throw all of LSU's in there as well...

1908, 1935, 1936, 1958, 1959, 1962, 2003, 2007

FWIW, Historically Tennessee has a slightly better football program than LSU and a badass Women's Basketball program.

LSU is significantly stronger than Tennessee in every other sport.

Let's not forget that LSU backed into the '03 title game. If the Pac 10 had been part of the BCS USC would have been in the title game. USC won the AP title that year and would've likely claimed the Coaches' Poll had the coaches not been obligated to vote for the winner of the BCS title game.

And yet LSU was still closer than Tenn to having any claim to any title in 2003. Fact.
