    Heupel and the draft

    From what I read, the Heupel "brand" is growing in recognition with NFL personnel directors and coaches, though. Repeatedly we hear (and recruits can be shown) that Tennessee players arrive ready to go, responsible, with pro-level practice habits and off-field maturity. Much of this starts with...

    Felix Okpara commits to Vols!

    Fashion has already re-cycled through the '50s, '60s and '70s of my life. Welcome, Gen X'ers, to the joy--then sudden melancholy--of being lapped by pop culture. As a demographic cohort, you're now in the small intestine. Once society has squeezed out all the remaining water and nutrients from...

    Transfer Portal - who do you miss?

    I miss sanity and order. But I could post that in any thread on any forum regarding any topic in the whole wide world today.

    2024 TRANSFER TRACKER

    Yeah! I thought the coach search was "Must See Lady Vol Forum"... but this is like, like... like 200 Grudens spread out over the country, hopping into private jets and changing planes in mid air! Can't wait for the Graduate Assistant search to start! (I've got inside sources in the Office of...

    Going forward, the KY series, & pitching

    This. Yes, it was a great couple of wins in Lexington, against a very good team. But we shouldn't fool ourselves as to what those wins were and weren't. How many games have we won on a field where (and under conditions when) most runs have to be scored on base hits? Our guys have gained...

    Why should I buy a named jersey now?

    Well, there is an opportunity here for fans to express their displeasure. Request a jersey of whatever number, but ask for the name tag to say "Generic NIL" or "Pre-Portal Fave" or "Your NIL Here." We might as well have some pointed fun with the things we evidently can't change.

    2024 TRANSFER TRACKER

    As spread out as I expect us to be in half court, she would certainly have room to do her stuff. In that highlight reel, of course, we got to see nothing of her passing or defense. Does anyone know if those knee braces are pre-cautionary or a result of injuries? I'm kinda expecting CKC will...

    Alyssa Latham to Tennessee!

    Great digging, SG32! Suggestion: Please consider starting a thread and posting links to all the Caldwell coached Marshall games you've come across. It would be an excellent contribution to Volnation--especially during the off-season and before football starts this summer. Then, as we come...

    What school did y'all go to in third grade??? Etymology of the phrase is, once it became cliche to say "Hey, your barn door's open," ingenious and ever more sophisticated 3rd graders went to the slightly oblique "Hey, your cows are gettin' out" (because your barn door's open). FYI: "It" is not...
