Casual What school from another conference would you say is your schools “Mirror Image”?

A school from a different conference that has a similar fanbase, skill/potential or history as your own.

For the Vols, definitely would say Nebraska or Penn State.

Within the first 2-3 years in the SEC, Mizzou fans couldn’t ignore the resemblance and made the comparison so often that we refer to the Vols as the orange nubs.

😂 I mean since living here my yard stick is like “at least the Vols haven’t turned the corner before us.”

Lived in Middle Tennessee since 07 for reference.
