I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned Jim Bob Cooter. He has turned into a really good OC in the NFL, and is a homegrown guy who understands the culture at Tennessee.

People out there saying Denver has no chance crack me up. Should Denver be favored of course not,but haven't we all seen this movie a thousand times. I can think of several instances where the underdog won the Superbowl. The one that sticks out to me the most was the Giants,Patriots when NE was...

Yeah, I didn't think about that but yes that is another positive.

I wish North the best of luck. The good news is we were basically playing without him most of the time anyhow,and this is a great opportunity for another receiver to step up. Hopefully Croom can really excel this year.

Bates came really close to blocking a punt in the outback bowl. He just missed it by probably a inch or two. He was just a redshirt freshman this past year and I think if people give him time he is going to be a real good player before it is all said and done.

Tennessee 35 Northwestern 17 Dobbs has 85 yards rushing.

BG's quarterback style of play reminded me of Tony Romo. Who I believe also played out of the Mac in college.

I agree,did anybody catch the part during the game when he says actually Tennessee even won a national championship in 98. The way he said it he made it sound like it was almost unbelievable Tennessee has ever won a national championship.

If I recall correctly a lot of people projected Bates to play safety once he got into college. I know he definitely had the speed and measurements to play the position. Also the bloodline his Dad had a pretty good career at safety.

Yeah, I refuse to watch Gameday.I have boycotted them from my television set because I don't want to give them any help on ratings.

Amen to that we are definitely due.

Awesome,I will do that when I get some free time. Thanks for the knowledge. I love me some Tennessee history not just football but all Tennessee state history.

I believe Butch Jones is an innovator. Just like General Neyland was an innovator of football. Neyland was the first coach to use game and practice film in all of football. He was also the first coach to cover the field with a tarp. I think there is some other stuff that Neyland did to change...

I have been praying for your daughter and family.Sometimes life just doesn't seem fair,but remember the Good Lord has a plan for us all. He will see your daughter and you through this.

I want to thank everybody in the RF for treating me like just another fellow Vol fan. I don't post to often but I have posted in the FF many times and they usually just ignore me.It seems like they act like because I am not a regular there I am not good enough to talk Vol football with them...
