I hate this crap also. Going forward, coaching staff will live or die based upon their ability to shop for ( and BUY) whatever players they need in the lineup season by season. Not my idea of how the college game should be done. 🙁

With the advent of huge NIL money, coincidental with the Transfer Portal…I’ve definitely lost a lot of interest in college football. The “old days “ when recruits were brought to campus, stayed there.. trained and developed into being competitive are gone. We used to be able to follow the kid’s...

My awareness of Big Orange football began in the Fall of 1972 when I arrived on the Knoxville campus to begin Graduate school. I have been an enthusiastic fan ever since, in good years and bad. I’ve supported Coach Heupel from the beginning of his tenure and still do. Sadly however… as the...

At the present time, I’m watching NCAA college football becoming more and more like the NFL. I’ve lived in a couple of NFL towns in my life and never understood the affinity their local fans seemed to feel towards those teams. An NFL team is a BUSINESS… period. Just like Ford, Amazon and...

In my opinion, Nico “gave his all for Tennessee “ last night. NO quarterback on a top tier team, which Tennessee is… should have to be the primary rushing back, and be responsible for the passing game. Nico had to run the ball waaayyy too much last night. Trying to play a quality opponent who...

I spent a few years of my career working in Columbus, OH. The rivalry sentiment there is so ingrained that any reference to the university in Ann Arbor, MI is simply stated : “ That school up North”.

Mine as well. Coach Battle was a good man. He was head coach when I attended UT and got a real sense of Volunteer Football and Big Orange spirit. WOW..! Thanks Coach, R.I.P. 🙏

Been watching this year’s Vanderbilt team more than I usually do and have been impressed. This ain’t your Daddy’s “ Candy”. Our Big Orange VOLS can and will LOSE this game if they go into it with a “ We Got This…” attitude. GBO.

I’m not able to feel confident that the team that played the second half last night can beat Vandy. Just as a lot of us believed Georgia was “ beatable “ this year… Vanderbilt is look at us the same way. Hope they’re wrong…🙁

Great points, well put. Ya know… it hasn’t been long ago that we had to score 45+ points per game because our defense was going to allow pretty much any quality opponent to score 40. Fast forward to this year and we have a top tier defense, doing a great job overall. To me, that’s a Head Coach...

When I saw his postgame comments I felt proud to have such a fine young man representing the University of Tennessee. Coach Heupel, and his entire staff deserve a lot of credit for the team culture they have created.

Congratulations to him and the way he broke that long-standing record. The WHOLE TEAM getting behind him and making it happen..! That says a LOT about the entire program in Big Orange Country..!! GBO..!!

That was definitely a turning point..! I wasn’t too happy with the first half of the game until it dawned on me that our defense has held Bama to a single TD..! 😁 IT’S BAMA..! ( last week, same kind of win… “ not pretty “, but IT’S FLORIDA). At this point in he program I’m happy to get the W’s...

I believe we’ll be fine. IMHO…we just got whipped by a team and a stadium full of fans who were absolutely FIRED UP and ready to fight for it. They were FIRED UP, we merely SHOWED UP. I’m still supporting Coach Heupel and our team to have a great season. GBO..!!

ABSOLUTELY. That said, don’t we have longer cleats to address this issue ..? I don’t know.. just asking. Those should have been recognized and addressed ( if possible) before kickoff.
