No mercy rule today?

The University of Tennessee first football game of the 2021 season is just two weeks away. I bought my first season tickets in 1967 when Doug Dickey was our head coach and he kept us ranked in the top ten. He left for his Alma Mater at Florida and his young assistant, Bill Battle became our...

This is the word from the Tennessee Fund. "We are awaiting an announcement from the state and local government officials to determine the capacity for Neyland Stadium this fall. We anticipate that announcement to come within the next week or two. Once the official announcement is made, we will...

I ordered tickets in April and order is still showing all seven home games.

How much influence do governors have on football in the fall? In the Big Ten Conference, Michigan wanted to play, but Michigan Governor has been a strong proponent of lockdowns. Nebraska and Iowa voted to play and have Republican Governors. The SEC schools all have Republican Governors except...

I agree with most of your post, but this team seems to be growing up faster than many of us realized possible. I bought my first season tickets in 1967 (every year since) and have seen all the changes since Doug Dickey. If we can stay consistent and win the ones we should win, we can also win a...

AD Hart answers to Chancellor Cheek. Any coaching change is likely to come from the chancellor. Chancellor Cheek was UT President Joe DiPietro's boss when both were at Florida, so President DiPietro will probably go along with the Chancellor's desire. Bottom line, convince Chancellor Cheek to...

Season ticket sales will remain in the 60,000 to 70,000 range because ticket holders will not want t give up their priority. Season ticket holder since 1967. P

This is the best post I have seen on here following the Florida game. I have been following the VOLS since 1966 with season tickets and also a 45 year donor. You are right about the running game. We need some power runners grinding it out. We will lose one or two where we are favored but will...

For those predicting a 4 or 5 win season in 2010, what were your predictions in the spring of 2005. Coming off a 10 win season, were we not in ranked pre season about 3 or 4? It seems we do better when little is expected. I would certainly not be surprised to win 8 games, losing to Bama, Florida...

Dooley was probably the only one offered the job by Mike Hamilton. A smart AD would have a third party to check out the other prospects. If the assurance was not there for a Muschamp, Gruden or others to come to UT, he would move on down the list and make the first offer to the one he Knows...
