If you only read two things as a Vols fan today . . .
. . . make it these, from SEC Country and The Athletic:
- Top 10 Tennessee football, men’s basketball moments since 1998, via SEC Country
- The game within a game: Secrets of a college football signal stealer, via The Athletic
The SEC Country piece is Mike Griffith’s last for the shuttering SEC Country, and is a nostalgic trip down memory lane (with video) of Mike’s time covering the Vols.
The article on signal-stealing is from Bruce Feldman. The Athletic is a subscription-only site, but if you have access, you can’t miss this piece. It’s a really interesting look at the strategy of deciphering your opponent’s coded communications.
