There are very few things in life that are constant. When it comes to sports, that fact is undeniably true. Sure there are times during which some teams have a lot of success and are generally consistent but it always changes eventually. Think of the Lakers or Celtics from the NBA, the Yankees from the MLB or the 49ers from the NFL.
Those are all pro teams that have experienced a lot of success in the past but the coin always flips and none have won championships in many years.
When it comes to college level sports, teams are able to sustain high levels of success for much longer but even that can come to an end.
For the Tennessee Volunteers the turn may have just come. After 31 years, the lady Vols are now unranked. 31 years of being in the top 25 teams in the country. Respect! It's quite possible that it's not even the longest streak in the sports history but that's still an astounding level of consistency and performance. So while the 31's all gone now, it should definitely be recognized for what it was!
