Manning would certainly know a thing or two when it comes to winning championships. Over his NFL career, Manning won two Super Bowls and played in four total over his lengthy career. The baseball team’s national title win was the first in Tennessee athletics since the women’s indoor track and field won one back in 2009.
They are the first No. 1 overall seed to win a national title since 1999. Tennessee defeated Texas A&M 6-5 in a decisive game three of the College World Series. A historic evening for the University of Tennessee.
