My job is to broadcast the games. It’s definitely not to come here and “sell” anything. There is no “company line” for a message board, because, I hate to break it to anybody, but literally nobody in the athletic department cares what’s written on a message board. I have enjoyed reading here...

It wasn’t a PR statement, it was the truth. You’ll notice she’s been out there literally every inning since, save for the first inning Ole Miss put the change up artist back in on Sunday. Frankly, I resent being called a liar.

She was plenty fresh. I’ve stayed away from this thread for most of this season, but thought I’d check it out after a series win. I regret the error.

Craig went out to coach first a couple of innings in both games for reasons related to the pitcher, not anything else. I asked last night and mentioned it on the broadcast today.

This aged well.

It’s not working there, but the Sports Animal website and app are working fine. They are trying to work on the stream to the Tennessee app.

Unfortunately, it’s not that easy. Perhaps I was unclear and explaining it, but if Tennessee takes the initiative to stream it, it does have to go through the ESPN platform and it does have to be produced to ESPN‘s standards for streaming broadcast. Which means a production truck. The other...

No, live stats are easy. They come from the stat program that is used to do the official scoring.

We will have an audio broadcast, but that is all. The logistics of a TV or streaming video broadcast are just too great at a neutral site. For it to be picked up by SECN plus or ESPN plus, it has to be produced by a participating school that has a contract with ESPN. Doing a production off...

Yes, we have a Vol Network audio broadcast for every game this season, links at UTSports.com and in the Tennessee Athletics app. Charlie Collier will have the broadcasts the first three weeks of the season until I can get on some games when the team returns home.

I won't be traveling with softball until basketball season ends. We will have audio coverage for every game, however. Details will be announced soon.

I have some schedule conflicts so instead of just getting someone to fill in occasionally, they have me and the PA announcer from softball split the schedule.

UT has had paid RV parking in that area for softball games since the RV lot was renovated in 2015. UT has elected to keep parking for general fans free for Softball. The RV spaces are paid for and are quite expensive. I understand it’s probably frustrating to have to walk, but they take prepaid...

Like I said, I have them in my collection and have done exactly that. I can lay the 1986 Russell Athletic, the 1993 Sports Belle, 2002 adidas and 2015 Nike and they’re all the same.

I own a game worn Tennessee football jersey from every year dating back to 1986. Save for some fading on a couple of them, they are all exactly the same shade of orange, though different materials do not necessarily photograph the same way, based on the lighting. Lone exception is the 2010...
