Tennessee football has a long history of great games etched in the minds of every fan. Here are the 30 greatest games in the UT Volunteers’ school history.

Everybody remembers where they were for their favorite team’s most memorable wins, regardless of the sport. The same holds true for the Tennessee Vols program.

Peyton Manning fans remember the 2006  playoff run, Dallas Mavericks fans remember the incredible NBA Finals in which they upset the Lebron James-led Miami Heat in 2011, and Boston Red Sox fans will never forget the comeback to beat the New York Yankees in the ALCS after being down 3-0 in the series.

Sports is one of the greatest ways to create memorable moments in people’s lives. Every time you turn on the TV to watch your favorite team play, you never know if you will be telling your grandchildren about what you saw that day.

Tennessee football is no different for fans in Knoxville.

Over the 100-plus year history of the program, there have been plenty of championship performances and games to decide championships that are memorable to Vols fans.

Big upsets, Top 10 victories, rivalry wins, and championship wins are all things we never forget.
