It’s back and better than ever: the 2018 Gameday on Rocky Top Picks Contest is now open. As always, we’re using our friends at Fun Office Pools: we pick 20 games each week (straight up) using confidence points, where you place 20 points on the outcome you’re most confident in, […]
With spots filling up quickly and some big-name targets remaining on the board, Tennessee can afford to be selective with the last few players it takes in this year’s recruiting class. That alone should tell you what the coaching staff thinks of Melvin McBride, a 6’4″, 315-pound projected offensive guard […]
If you read only one thing about the Vols today make it the 2018 edition of @wshelton2’s ever-awesome Idiot Optimist’s Guide.
Did you know the Vols are 500-to-1 to win the national championship? That’s life-changing money, boys! Listen, I’ve already got the basketball Vols at 25-to-1 to win it all. Those winnings are set aside to get right with the debt collectors and the Lord, so it’s all limousine ridin’ and […]
If you think Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt is mum on his quarterback battle this preseason because he wants to lob a bit of gamesmanship in the direction of West Virginia, I think you’re off. It’s because he’s simply not enamored with either of his two frontrunners — or anybody in […]

September 1 will be Tennessee’s 13th season opener against a ranked non-conference foe (thanks, as always, to the folks behind Tennessee’s media guide). Fun fact: five of those were against UCLA, from the first one in 1967 through Peyton Manning’s debut in 1994. The Vols are 5-4-3 in those games […]
Tennessee moves to No. 11 nationally with today’s commitment from 4-star safety Jaylen McCollough.
Making a few assumptions about how many guys Pruitt wants at each position and what height and weight he wants those guys to be, there’s still some work to do on the offensive line and, somewhat surprisingly, at wide receiver.
Joel Hollingsworth and Will Shelton talk about the Tennessee Volunteers receivers and whether they are deep enough to withstand nicks and bumps to their two best guys. Also, aren’t the inexperienced corners in really good hands with Pruitt? This and more in this edition of the Gameday on Rocky Top Podcast.
