They are ranked as one of the winningest major college and SEC programs, and have numerous bowl appearances and national titles to their credit. Tennessee draws its nickname from the name most associated with the state.

This was a Christmas present for my husband. He was so excited when he received it. It is hanging in our finished basement. It is a good view of Neyland stadium. The matting that goes with it goes perfectly.. Sarah. Gray, TN. Thu Feb 16 2017
