Some of you may remember the thread I made a several years ago for Butch's tenure. I abandoned that pretty quick after we re-started many of the same streaks we broke in 2014-2016. Then I made another a few years ago for the Pruitt era. That did not go over well either.
Here we go again. Heupel and the Vols have had such an impressive run so far, and the biggest streak of all (Bama) was just broken last night. Time for The Streak Buster Thread III !

Here we go again. Heupel and the Vols have had such an impressive run so far, and the biggest streak of all (Bama) was just broken last night. Time for The Streak Buster Thread III !
Rules are the same as before:
- This is intended to be a master list of all the streaks we have hanging over us so we can strike them from the record and put them in the past as we overcome them and start new, winning ones!
- In this list, I'd like to include all streaks still active, as well as all streaks broken so far in the Josh Heupel Era (2021 season and on). Please provide anything I have missed below! I want this to be community-fueled, so any comments or critiques about the way I'm presenting the data are encouraged as well.
- GO VOLS!
