    Tennessee stats and more stats

    Not to suggest that maybe volnation is overreacting with JG, but numbers don't lie, though they might not tell the whole truth. We might be a little hard on the young man... > Jarrett Guarantano ranks sixth in the SEC in passer rating (144.36) and yards per attempt (8.0) and has the same...

    Is UT really without talent?

    I love facts. GA and AL are clearly more talented, (plus Auburn) FL might have a slight lead, we are about equal to SC maybe a slight lead. If we win 1 out of those Four is about what we should expect and than hope that we lose one flat game against a weaker team (everyone does) would make a...

    Per ESPN Tennessee to make a run in the playoffs in 2018?

    I think ESPN actually did some math and every team has transfers. winning is a combination of Talent, Scheme / home advantage. I think in the Eastern Conference you have three tiers of talent right now. Tier One is Georgia – they are closer to Alabama than anyone in the East. For this...

    The Media Picks: Tennessee @ Florida

    Actually a review of FL and TN talent as defined by recruiting stars - found the two teams almost identical. (TN younger) So really this is a match up of two teams with almost identical talent. So it will be decided more by coaching and schemes with ,of course, FL getting the home field advantage.

    O-linemen "considering future"

    Actually - I would say that Worley was the better quarterback last year. When given time he showed he could pick apart defenses. Dobbs is still not the passer that Worley was. But, Dobbs was able to make positive yardage when his OL fell apart and Worley could not. Against an overall weaker...

    Interesting Article on Tennessee Talent

    Not to put a pin on your political rant, but facts just don't back up any of your statements. The top twenty wealthiest states are all dark blue with the exception of Alaska. Unemplyment is a bit of a mixed bag. For example California a dark blue state is right between Georgia and...

    Top WR groups in the SEC

    I think there is no question - that our receiving core will be better this year. Especially the first half of the year they sucked :) But I think expecting a lot of first year players to rise us from the bottom quartile to the top receiving core in a single year is very unrealistic. We are...

    Martin left due to money!

    A nice raise - but he was on the bottom of the SEC in pay. 1.8 million puts him in the middle of the pack. After a Sweet 16 run you would think he would qualify for a salary in the 3 to 5 range of the SEC or around 2.1 or 2.2 Million. Anything less is an insult and not showing we want a...

    BREAKING: Cuonzo to Cal

    I see that UT only offered him 1.8 Million after a sweet 16 run? No wonder he left. I was thinking more like 2.2 Million was far market value. Anyone know what Cal offered him?

    Poll: Do you want Martin to stay or go?

    This team has redeemed itself.

    I am sorry - but when you find this many things to complain about when 'your' team is in the Sweet 16, and has a chance to equal or better its best run in the history of its program.... There is something just WRONG with the Poster. Mentally, Emotionally or he is (as previously mentioned)...

    Even the players are noticing

    No question the last five years the Vols have clearly established themselves as the worse fan base of any college team in the USA. The fan base most likely to run down their own coach. I do believe it is a vocal minority though - from my perspective it started with the ride to fame that...

    Vols Tourney Opponent Iowa ...

    Actually 'technically' it is round one of the NCAA tournament - the 'play in game' styling - was replaced by the NCAA simply expanding the field, like they did when they expanded to 64. But, I agree the structure and feel is of a play-in-game. It should be a good game - Go Vols!

    Recruiting rankings thread

    There is a lot of sports talk chatter - that his might be Alabama best recruiting class in history. They do have a lot of high ranked kids. But, if you look at the big picture - total impact of the class of premium level 4 and 5 star recruits: How many 4 and 5 stars does Alabama have? 18...

    So doing the math...

    It is crazy for us to act like CBJ is not taking some risk though. He might have a plan - but lets talk straight; if he has a plan it is to break at least the intent of the NCAA rules. Any recruit over 30 is UT walking on land mines. We might be able to get though it - but it is dangerous...
