Finally, what I consider to be good news on the Tennessee coaching front. Steve Caldwell, the Vols defensive end coach, has told Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino that he is not interested in coming to Fayetteville to be the Hogs defensive coordinator.

Tennessee traveled to Starkville on Saturday for a matchup with SEC West foe Mississippi State. The real question heading into today’s game was whether or not last week’s win over Georgia was a fluke and if the Vols could put together back to back performances.

I like to pass along a few tidbits from the day that stand out to me as newsworthy. Feel free to add your thoughts by clicking on “comments”.

The coaches always have a lot to say this time of year. They are excited about the new season and can’t wait to get to work on all of the plans and ideas they’ve had during the summer.

Here is the audio from Coach Fulmer’s comments during the media day Saturday morning. It’s about 20 minutes long. He breaks down the outlook of the team and his thoughts on the newcomers position by position.

Fall practice has started! Can you feel it? Did you wake up this morning and feel a bit different? It was only the first practice and their were no pads but it’s exciting none the less.

It’s a mere 31 days until Tennessee kicks of their 2007 college football season against California. The predictions for the season are all over the board.

It was announced this week that Inky Johnson will spend his senior season at Tennessee as a student coach for the team.

I got these cool new T images to use like bullet points to highlight each blurb. Pretty cool huh? You can tell that we are really moving up in the world here at the VolNation Times.

Chris Leak signed with the Bucs? I thought I read that he was drafted by the Bears. Oh wait, you aren’t talking about, it can’t be….. C.J. Leak.
