Nebraska hired the coach that their entire fanbase unanimously wanted. Not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison. Regardless, we had the third-highest (announced) spring game attendance in the SEC, behind only the two teams that played in the National Championship Game. Ours was the fifth-highest in the country, ahead of programs like FSU,…[Read more]

I’ve already talked myself into this loss being an inspiration for next year’s team. I really enjoyed watching this team play and am excited about their future. Good luck to JD3 and let’s win the whole damned thing for him next year.

I have said it all season long: I love this team. Win or lose tomorrow and win or lose next weekend, I have really enjoyed watching them play and can’t wait to see more next year. And it still boggles my mind that after everything we did and went through, Rick Barnes fell into our lap.

It really wasn’t that loud until the Schofield dunk, but it was very loud when that happened and stayed loud afterward.

Boggles my tiny little mind that there are somehow still Tennessee fans who aren’t sold on Barnes.

Meanwhile I still can’t believe our luck to basically have this guy fall into our lap.

I guess ESPN2 is good for some Vol fans, but – speaking purely selfishly – I would prefer home games not be televised at all than tip off at 9pm on school nights.

Well, I was asking because I don’t know that’s the case but I don’t remember any others.

First-ever Tennessee coach to have won the Heisman?

Farewell Smokey Greys, you will not be missed. Please take the checkerboard rat-tail with you.

YES SIR.

The traditionalists in the Tennessee fan base will be happy. Jeremy Pruitt told me the Vols won’t be breaking out the alternate “Smokey Gray” uniforms while he’s the coach. He said they would wear orange and white.

Good (and planned all along, I’m sure) timing on the Jackson Lampley commitment today. I find it hard to believe that he ever considered NOT coming here, but maybe that’s how far we’ve fallen. At any rate, good start for the 2019 class.

Honest assessment and good (though sobering) write-up, Brad.

Outstanding write-up, Will.

This showed up in my Facebook “On This Day” today and while there are a variety of emotions it brings out, I am mainly looking at it as a reminder not to get too ________ (too excited, too upset, too whatever) about NSD: http://grantland.com/features/tennessee-volunteers-butch-jones-signing-day-2014/

I read yesterday that the Eagles call that play “Clemson” because they got it from Chad Morris (they ran the same play with Tajh Boyd and Deandre Hopkins several years ago,) but who knows.

Thompson-Boling was a blast last night. Love this team.

I’ve seen a lot of that sentiment on social media and I’m just not feeling that myself. These guys are young and heartbreak is always possible, particularly in a one-and-done format, but I am looking at this whole season as gravy. Whatever happens, happens. I’m just going to enjoy the ride.

Said it before and I’ll say it again: I love this team. They can certainly frustrate at times, but they are so easy to root for.

I also enjoyed being able to go straight from work to the game and be home by 8:30. I much prefer that to 9pm weeknight tips. I was disappointed to look at the remaining schedule and see that we only have two…[Read more]
