    Friends in low places

    I understand the "Doesn't matter" crowd. However, if we are going to have a end of 3rd quarter song, I would think there should be some type of Tennessee connection OR something very fast paced/uplifting. My music is grounded in the 70's, but when my kids would play this song, I think I liked...

    Bluetick Coonhound

    I felt compelled to post this, I was checking out this amazing animal shelter 's website called Asher House and somehow they have a Bluetick up for adopion. Didn't know if there was anyone on the west coast that could take a dog like this, but man, if I weren't in Tennessee, I think I might...

    Good Feeling About 2025 season now

    I thought you were in the wrong forum with your title when you started off with your pocket vibrating.

    Chaz Lanier watch thread

    Something that has not been talked about that Chaz brings to the game; Chaz is the only player on the court that you can tell the opposing coach has said that under no circumstances can he have an open shot. I would think this is a distraction to opposing teams and opens things up for others.

    Coaches Either Play Freshmen and Young Talent Now—Or They Won’t Compete in the Modern College Football Landscape

    Tennessee coaches should have forced Mike Mathews to play despite his injuries. https://www.si.com/college/tennessee/football/tennessee-to-have-three-players-returning-from-injury-vs-kent-state-01j7hk7h3e18

    '25 Portal Thread

    I posted this on another thread, and I cannot vouch for the validity of this ranking, but there is not a Tennessee wide receiver ranked in the top 100 of wide receiver transfers. https://247sports.com/season/2025-football/transferportalpositionranking/?positiongroupkey=3

    Why are we losing so many receivers?!?!

    This list is very telling. My caveat is, I have no idea of the competency of whoever is making these rankings, but there is not a Tennessee WR transfer ranked in the top 100 (of receivers). It makes you wonder if the Tennessee WRs that entered into the portal were "encouraged" to leave or felt...

    Tennessee shouldn't play Georgia every year

    I am the opposite on this. I would like to see an additional SEC game added to the schedule while maintaining our traditional rivals. In my experience, big games are events. Starting with breakdowns, analysis, and predictions with friends, co-workers and on sites like VolNation. Planning out...

    The Film Guy Brooks Austin tweets about Heupel/UT

    Bad luck, bad evaluations? Don't know. Losing Pili was a lot more damaging than I thought at the time. Georgia, then OSU, exposed how bad our linebackers were this year. Will Brooks at safety made some big plays and is a great story, but he was not going to provide any deep support coverage...

    Observations from the game that you may not have seen on TV

    "And I believe the CFP actually handled all of that for this game." I appreciate your valuable input. I am stunned to learn that the CFP choose to strobe lights only when Tennessee had the ball.

    Observations from the game that you may not have seen on TV

    This is NOT about excuses, just a couple of weird, if not challenging game items. First, if Ohio State did to Michigan pregame, what they did to Tennessee, then the incident after the Michigan game was totally predictable. Ohio State's locker rooms are in the same endzone, with each team on...

    Magallanes (UT -Purdue MCB ref)

    Yep, never happens. From the archives: How former ref Tim Donaghy conspired to fix NBA games In the Tennessee - Purdue game, Tennessee was called for pass interference 6 times, 5 by the same official. That game, besides the national championship game, was the most bet on game during the bowl...

    Tennessee fans, they’re rabid fans

    "Don’t sell your tickets," Bjork said 97.1 The Fan’s Morning Juice. "Tennessee fans, they’re rabid fans. They are going to invade The ‘Shoe. So let’s make sure we don’t have as much orange in there as people think.”...

    Dylan Sampson would hang 250

    Yes, one official called Tennessee for 5 pass interferences, then blew the whistle dead at the goal line for our "would be" go-ahead score.
