The numbers are impressive: Two national championships (and counting). Thirteen championships in the greatest conference in football, the SEC. Ten unbeaten seasons. Dozens of All-Americans. Countless statistical milestones. But the numbers alone don't do justice to the impact that Tennessee football has had and continues to have on its legion of fans. What takes place within the storied confines of Neyland Stadium is more than simply a game; it's a way of life. Since 1891, the football Volunteers of Tennessee have shirked no challengers. The rewards have run the gamut from black eyes and bruises to bronze trophies and gold rings. When the 100,000 orange-clad citizens of Vol Nation gather on football Saturdays, they are partaking in the traditions, the memories and the indelible images that make up the tapestry of Tennessee football. Game Day Tennessee Football is a celebration of the bond that all Volunteer players and fans share, and of the decades of gridiron excellence that have inspired it.
