AAAAH, but ours are 'moments', your's are 'traditions'.
Well, as much tradition as a school that never had a team until 1990 can have.
"Florida didn't have football until 1990" seems to be the most commonly used retort among Vol fans.
Tennessee has 8 SEC titles in the last 50 years. Florida has 8 official SEC titles in the last 50 years (not counting three that were stripped). Florida has 3 National Championships in the last 50 years, Tennessee has 1 (Sorry-the 1967 Litkenhous does not count).
Make the argument that UF has won these titles since 1990 if you like, but in doing so you acknowledge that UF has done more in the last 19 years than Tennessee has in the last 50 years. So I ask the question, would you rather enjoy the success of your team in this lifetime or boast about what your team did 2 generations ago? I say there is no better time than the present. You folks can keep reading about your team's conquests in the 30's-50's and we will bask in the glory of the present.
