Expected Win Total Machine – Georgia Week
Now two-thirds of the way home, we know a few things. The community will project the Vols to win 11 regular season games this week through some degree of rounding; we’re all mostly curious to see the Georgia number. During Alabama week, fans gave the Vols a 38.3% chance of […]
The Heuper Drive: Re-thinking everything I thought I knew about Tennessee football
Three yards and a cloud of dust has sprouted into enormous green pastures. The notion that a super-sonic offense will always be paired with a gassed and overburdened defense is no longer a given. And this particular version of this proud program appears to be callously indifferent to some of the most cherished maxims of the man whose name is on the stadium. What world are we living in?
He hath loosed the fateful lightning
Early in the fourth quarter, a middle-aged thought occurred to me: we could leave. Tennessee was safely ahead 37-6, Kentucky showed no signs of aggression on offense, this thing was headed towards a certain finish. Fifteen years ago I was in my mid-20s, when you welcome night games. Now there […]

How did weaknesses become strengths so fast?
When this season is over, there will be plenty of time for the big picture of Tennessee Football. “So fast” will still be a perfect description for how this program went from total uncertainty to total jubilation in around 20 months. But in an even shorter timetable, the Vols took […]
187: A Third Saturday in October to Remember
How Many Awesome Things Did We Just Witness?
Expected Win Total Machine – My Clothes Smell Like Cigars Edition
Okay. Tennessee’s path to Atlanta goes straight through Athens. While our schedule should lighten in the final three weeks, Georgia’s does get a little slippery. The Dawgs are off this week, then the Cocktail Party, then us. Should the Vols falter between the hedges, Georgia will still have a trip […]
