(High School All-Star) Bowl Season is Upon Us
Although Tennessee is shut out of a bowl game for the first time since 2013, there are still bowl games of interest. And I’m not just talking about rooting against UGA and Alabama and the rest of Tennessee’s SEC rivals in their respective game. Instead, there are three high school […]

Wake Forest and #nobadlosses
Tennessee…escaped? Is “escaped” the word we want to use for Wednesday night? Furman held the Vols to 37.1% from the floor and 5-of-20 from the arc; nine missed free throws didn’t help. But Tennessee’s defense was again present and accounted for: Devin Sibley scored 22 points on 16 shots, but […]

Tennessee pulled off a stunner Tuesday afternoon, swooping in and landing a signature from Dominick Wood-Anderson, the nation’s #1 JUCO Tight End and a recruit coveted by blueblood programs across the country. Thought to be a strong Alabama lean, Wood-Anderson took what was undoubtedly a tremendous visit to Knoxville this […]
