The 1985 team was the best team in the country at the end of the season, hands down. If there had been a playoff, they would have won it. And if the schedule, which was a bear, had not been front-loaded, they would have anyway. The defense was too soft and wore down in that first game against...

My dad went through a couple of six-packs of that stuff on the day Tennessee beat Alabama that season. After Mike Terry picked that last Bama pass in the end zone, he wasn't feeling any pain for a while! I may still have a can of it somewhere around here. We saved a few of them back before it...

That will depend on the voters. Cordarrelle is a player who does a lot of things well, and Hall of Fame voters in any sport tend to focus on players who had one central skill and were dominant in it. He was a great kick returner, and a good running back and a good wide receiver. That should put...

He is busy learning the Tennessee offense so he can fight for the starting job this fall. Which is exactly what he should be doing and what his new coaches and teammates would want him to do. He's here to do a job for the Vols and try to secure a future for himself in pro football, not for...

Truth about Nico? He plays for UCLA. Forget about him, unless you're also a Bruins fan. Full stop.

The sooner, the better. The National Communists Against Athletes should stick to running their basketball tournament and non-revenue sports.

I wouldn't want my daughter, if I had one, to play for either of them. But we can agree to disagree on who is worse. I have actually been around both of them. If Mulkey is ever in my presence again, it will be too soon. But if I had a daughter who could play at that level, there's no reason she...

I have lived in North Carolina since 1988. Presently in Lillington, 20 miles from Sanford where I work, and where Sarah Strong played in high school. I was, and currently still am, the sports editor of the local newspaper in Sanford. No, they stopped playing there before I was born (the "1973"...

This team is going to be able to hang with anyone. The talent and depth are there and the core has a year of experience in the system. I'll be going there to see them for sure. I'm moving back to Tennessee in two weeks, and I'll be living there for the first time in 37 years. The last time I...

Let's just say she decided to trade up to a better Kim. Kim Mulkey is a very, very good coach, but if I had a daughter, I would not want her to play for Mulkey. I would seriously accept Geno before Kim Mulkey. She's just... 🤮

So he didn't look good against Clemson. He was on a Sun Belt Conference also-ran, with Sun Belt players around him and a bad OL even by Sun Belt standards, and the best team in the ACC made him look bad. Gee, I wonder why? Only an effin moron would judge a player based on such criteria. If he...

I can guarantee you he is. He has something to prove.

Plaschke knows his business. As someone who has worked in sports journalism off and on for 33 years myself, he is one writer with a national profile who always impressed me. And I agree with everything he said here.

Look at his name here. It's probably Nic with too much free time on his hands.

Nah. You're right, we're terrible. Glad we're not playing Kent State this year because you know they would be out for revenge.
