As a Tennessee fan, it’s felt like - regardless of the sport - that bad things happen in the program’s biggest and most pivotal moments.
And do you know why it feels that way? Because......bad things have happened constantly in the school’s biggest and most pivotal moments.
That’s been the life of a Vol fan. Reach the Elite Eight in 2010 and 2023? Come up just short. Make it to Omaha? Vols’ bats went quiet while opposing hitters’ did not. And then, in football......yeah. Books have been written about the failures there this century, with a few limited exceptions.
