    Did anybody pay attention to that challenge that Kansas City apparently lost?

    I can't speak with certainty about the NFL rule, but the UGA ruling was correct. The player's hand was on the ground, in-bounds, when the ball crossed the line to gain. Had the hand not been on the ground, it would've come back to wherever the ball was when the last in-bounds contact with the...

    Firing of Pruitt leading to Success is a Trend

    I really don't like Jeremy Pruitt and I'm definitely glad he isn't our coach. But that is a really silly article. What has happened to RTI? Pruitt left UGA and went to Alabama, and Alabama went 12-0 in 2016 before losing to Clemson in the national championship game, and won the national...

    Talk to us about.......Heath Shuler

    This right here. Charlie Ward won the Heisman in '93 and should've won the Heisman in '93. Florida State was the consensus national champion and Ward put up some eye-popping stats. Heath Shuler had the misfortune of being in the mix the same year as Ward because most other years he would've...

    Kamal Hadden's message to Volnation

    Any adult who @'s a player on social media, or otherwise contacts them in any way, for any reason other than praise and compliments, is trash. There's just no reason for it. But if his family simply sees people criticizing him on social media, that just comes with the territory. These guys are...

    Jimmy Hyams Retiring.......

    No, Jimmy is absolutely not a homer for Tennessee. That's okay. He doesn't have to be a homer to do his job well. In fact, the strongest argument to be made is that you can't have true, objective journalism from a homer. The two are mutually exclusive. That's the way journalism is supposed to...

    Jimmy Hyams Retiring.......

    I've never really understood all the Jimmy Hyams hate. The guy has done a great job. Sports journalism isn't about being a homer for the team you're covering. (At least, it didn't used to be. I suspect we're seeing sports journalism being redefined by this current generation that cannot tolerate...

    Why isn’t Heupel getting a chance to plead his case?

    I really don't understand UT fans who insist that Alabama has a better resume than us. Apparently we've been beaten down for way too long. We wouldn't have shown such self-disrespect 20 years ago. I understand being a realist, but I don't think many UT fans are actually arguing the Vols should...

    Poll: Prefer Sugar Bowl or Orange Bowl. List reason for preference below.

    I used to be a Dabo fan. But the more he flaps his gums the more I detest him. I'd love to see us get a chance to beat his bitch ass. Throw in the fact that Clemson is a much bigger brand name than K State, and the fact that Dabo does major damage to us in recruiting wars (not just in the...

    Is Hendon Hooker still a Heisman contender?

    Will we? I'd venture to say that many of us who were around in '98 felt like there would be many more BCS national championships. Yet, here we are, 24 years later, and we still haven't been back to the pinnacle. Some of the best advice I've ever heard a coach give players is to treat your...

    Is Hendon Hooker still a Heisman contender?

    It's quite a dilemma. If Ohio State beats Michigan, CJ Stroud wins the Heisman Trophy — hands down. And Tennessee probably goes to the playoffs. If Ohio State loses to Michigan, Hendon Hooker probably wins the Heisman. But Tennessee probably doesn't go to the playoffs. Which do we prefer? I...

    Remaking the CFP Selection Process

    I don't know if I can agree with that. I realize that the NFL is more popular than college football, and probably always will be. But most of us who are diehard college football fans aren't really NFL fans, even though we love the game of football. Myself, I rarely ever watch an NFL game, and I...

    Remaking the CFP Selection Process

    I think most college football fans would agree that regular season NFL games matter way less than regular season college football games. By expanding the playoff, we're inevitably going to devalue the regular season. Under the 4-team format, our game against UGA was huge. If the 12-team format...

    Behavior Saturday

    As for tearing down the goalposts, I was hoping it wouldn't happen against UF (thankfully cooler heads prevailed) but if we win Saturday I'm all for it. Tear those suckers down. Fifteen years is a long damn time.

    Behavior Saturday

    Yep. The behavior in general at big games is starting to become unbearable. It's like for a cupcake opponent we can all sit and eat Hebrew National hot dogs and sing kumbuya together, but for big games we have to make assholes out of ourselves? Saw someone on Twitter saying it wouldn't be safe...

    John Adams gets on board

    It is the literal goal of columnists to elicit reaction from you, the reader. It's the reason for their existence. They aren't breaking news, they're giving their opinion about things we already know. If they're dry and boring, nobody reads them. The best ones in the business (think Pat Forde...
