    '25 Official pregame/game thread ā€˜25 Music City Bowl vs Illinois

    Practicing in the 60s and low-70s... then playing in below freezing temps... does not bode well for good form tackling. Look for high YAC numbers as ball carriers bounce off of cold-fingered "projectile" tackling.

    Meaningless Game Thought

    NO game, bowl or regular season, means zip, win or lose -- True ANY bowl game means millions of dollars -- Also true ANY bowl game means more practice time -- Also true A bowl win can aid recruiting -- True A bowl win can boost donations and increased NIL resources -- True A bowl win can further...

    Thanks for posting! Very interesting. My first thought is: If we could get this NIL spending under control (with caps, tiers, and incentives), then schools and conferences would have more money to spend on dedicated sports AI that could help every player and every team improve.

    Tennessee Lady Vol News

    Wait! None of our players like egg nog????? 😲 Someone get this information to CKC--we've isolated the shooting problem and the 3rd quarter lag! This team is suffering from deficiencies in the vital nutrients nutmeg and Vitamin Nog. I'm already nursing my 4th quart this season. Don't even have...

    Poll: Are you watching the Music City Bowl game?

    I haven't had TV in about 9 years, and only 1 or 2 times a year do I miss being able to watch something. I certainly don't miss the TV announcers talking about where they ate! Radio does a much better job keeping me informed about what's going on, who's in for whom, punt distance & hangtime...

    Was setting up my mom to watch the game, but according to Spectrum's guide, SEC Network is not covering the game. Can anyone confirm?

    Gotta say, on a quick turnaround--including travel--following that Louisville loss, I don't like facing a mid-major team whose forte is rebounding. That means they rebound on technique and discipline, not size. And after our shooting exhibition in Brooklyn... they will be that much more...

    I hope so. But do freshmen ever call for them? I could see some of our freshmen lobbying Janiah to call a players only meeting, if they thought it would help. But it's really tough for any new player, freshman or transfer, to assume that level of leadership voice. It's inevitably, by...

    $15 Parking at Music City Bowl/Game Tickets $30

    A young friend had her purse and all her money stolen from her car in Nashville a couple of days ago. She said they broke into every car or truck in the entire parking lot! Nashville police told her they're breaking in looking for guns under seats, and that's where she happened to hide her...

    Game Thread: vs. Louisville 12/20 11am EST on Fox Network

    Just got home, after not seeing the game but reading a transcript of the postgame presser. If there's any pattern that goes back to last season, it's losses in which the players didn't do in the game what they reportedly had been doing correctly and proficiently in practice. If they're doing...

    FWIW: My mom couldn't get the game on Fox Sports Network (FS1), but found it on the local (out of Nashville) Fox affiliate.

    I don't predict scores, but I always got the heebee-jeebies about even a great shooter finding his range in an unfamiliar arena. Both teams' shooting in the Barclays Center is a roll of the dice. So we gotta win this on hustle and defense if we don't want to return to Knoxville as victims of chance.

    Will Notre Dame end up in the SEC?

    "More" is not a plan. "Better" is not a plan. --unless, you have a goal that is served by more & better.
