Is this a signature win?

[illinoisvolfan1]

I hate that term “signature win” but this was dam good against the no. 11 ranked team. Well done.

 

[BanditVol]

I'd say yes, but what constitutes a "signature" win is very subjective and some have a high threshold. It may not quite be a signature win, but it's very close if not.

It's a very big win, important to our program comeback, and speaks volumes of the progress under Pruitt.

 

[BeecherVol]

We have different definitions of signature wins then. I didn’t think Auburn was a signature win either

Historically I agree.

Recent history both are really good wins.

I hate Kentucky almost as much as Bama.
This has mad my football season



I honestly wasn’t expecting much

Mad should equal made...... Just Saying! Enjoy your night!

Would anyone consider this a signature win if it was against the # 11 team in the nation, and it not be against Kentucky? Take it for what it's worth and don't circumstance it for anything less.

Love how last time they won in Neyland is front and center in this beer barrel pic.. and it’s 2018

Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Missouri and Vanderbilt disagree. This has been their best team in a long, long time.

I’m mad at you right now but I can’t deny that this is a good point.

Damnit.

We beat the #11 team in the country. Stop trying to minimize the win; GO Freaking VOLS!!!!!!!

It will be perceived by the media and recruits as a signature win and those are obviously important.

 

[hog88]

Does this count as a signature win?

No

 

[Seattle Hillbilly]

I need a definition of "signature win". Is it in terms of historical significant or recent history? Heck, I don't know, but for tonight this feels pretty darn good.

It was a great and much needed win. But man i just don’t think i can stand the thought of elevating KY to “signature win” status, especially since they haven’t won here since 1984.

I would definitely call it an impressive win though.

 

[Big Al Orange]

so by definition, this is a signature win. Take off your Orange Glasses. This was #11 Kentucky. They beat UF in the Swamp (Who boat raced us in Neyland). This is, by your definition, a signature win.

This win will help us sign those studs that may have still been on the fence !!!!

 

[Flipdaddy]

Auburn and Kentucky are signature wins. His next one will be at the swamp next year!

 

[GoVols64]

How high would UK need to be ranked in order to qualify as a signature win? What the eff is a signature win anyway? We beat the #11 team in the country. Enjoy it Vol fans.

My goodness, we may actually make a bowl game this year.

 

[HighWaterVol]

Does this count as a signature win?

I think we would have beat #10 team today too

 

[Col_Cathcart]

Kentucky is never a signature win. It's a signature loss if you lose.

If you lose, you lose your job. That's been the pattern anyway.

Whether or not the actual beer barrel is on site, WE WIN and the barrel is ours!!!

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Yes its a signature win. Is it quite as big as Auburn? No. But still a signature win. Especially given what we were last year. People saying oh well its just KY, that doesnt fly. They were #11.

 

[mikepotts]

After not winning an SEC game last year... yeah, i can call ANY SEC win a signature win.

 

[lincolncovol]

Does this count as a signature win?

Hell No
Beating ky is a given

 

[AaronUT]

UK is #11 and a heavy favorite. Yes.

I believe signature win, but KY was favored 4.5 at kickoff. Not a heavy favorite, but we heavily thumped em.

 

[Aday25]

Yeah, those posting all week that Auburn was an outlier are going to have to rethink that stance. Today was a huge, huge win. I want to go bowling!

To be fair up until today it was an outlier...

This team is terribly inconsistent. Thankfully the good side showed up today. Love it when we beat the Cats.

 

[mrose33]

Does this count as a signature win?

Yes go on nega vol

 

[FLVOL_79]

Kentucky is never a signature win. It's a signature loss if you lose.

This. Beating two ranked teams in his first year is great until you find out one was Kentucky then you know the polling system is flawed.


But on paper it looks good.
