Tennessee won the College World Series to kick off the summer this year, and it has been all Vols in every major sport since then. Since June 1, the Vols have played 41 baseball, football, and men's and women's basketball games. We rarely have seen the orange and white lose a game since June.
Josh Ward pointed out on X that of the 41 games played since June 1, Tennessee has won 37 and lost only four. That's an insane record across the four major sports in college athletics.

Combined record: 37-4
Tennessee football has been one of the best teams in the country all season, winning ten games and finishing third in the SEC. That has earned them a spot in the College Football Playoff with a date with Ohio State on Saturday.
Tennessee baseball has the other two losses this year, going 9-2 since the start of June, which culminated in the BaseVols hoisting the national championship in Omaha, Nebraska, to cap off another great season in the Tony Vitello era.
There's no doubt that both of those programs are contenders in both sports and seem to be for the foreseeable future. Tennessee's men's and women's basketball programs are also entering their name in the year of dominance, combining for an 18-0 record to start the college basketball season.
Men's basketball is 10-0 for the first time since the 1999-2000 season and is the undisputed No. 1 team in the country. Rick Barnes has masterfully combined the transfer portal and traditional high school recruiting to put together one of the country's best and most efficient rosters.
Women's basketball is way ahead of schedule in Kim Caldwell's first season as the head coach. The Lady Vols are 8-0 to start the year and are coming off an 80-point win over North Carolina Central, in which they broke program, SEC, and NCAA single-game records.
It is clear that Tennessee has one of the best athletic programs in the country, led by Athletic Director Danny White. The Vols have dominated every major sport since June and could have a chance to hoist a trophy at the end of each season.
