I don't know much about the minds of 18-year-old recruits, but I think I just saw the loudest, largest fan base packed in one place ever, The everyday students must be blown away, much less the recruits. My college had a 50,000-seat stadium, you could get tickets 5 minutes before the game, and...

I agree the defense has to improve, but Anthony Richardson, an unbelievable talent, played better than most expected. Vols should be glad we have his equal (as talented but savvier) in Hooker.

I live in Tampa and have seen media coverage of the Gators since Spring. Napier's fears about a lack of depth expressed in the spring scrimmage have come about as evidenced by the USF game (We get coverage of them too, and it is not all that positive). Even with the raw talents of their...

As he said, the fans are still there in droves. The school itself and the fanbase make it one of the top coaching jobs in the country.

I am happy Hooker came and stayed with all the Pruitt stuff on the table. He likes the school, and it is an easy school to like. NiL may screw this up, but going to a school with a great vibe is a great reason to pick a school. I ran D1 track at UNC, and we ran the track in Knoxville all the...

I was there for a Quaker wedding (A Quaker area). The first Quaker wedding I ever attended. The congregation should speak about each of the young married's accomplishments. The Quaker bride's family spoke for twenty minutes and volumes about Holly. My brother and I were looking at my...

I have to admit that the success this year got me interested in College Baseball (late to the party). It seems to be challenging to put a team together due to NCAA scholarship limits-11.7 scholarships over 27 players with 8 walk ons allowed. It also seems that Vitello has shown that he knows...

A picture is worth 1000 words. That MRI is positively scary to look at. I pray for future good health. She is one tough cookie!

I have said this before about Knoxville. I went to UNC and ran track, but because TN's track program was so strong, we had track meets several times a year in Knoxville. UNC is an attractive campus, but we always admired the people, the mountains, and the campus at UT. I think KJH understands...

I liked KJH at NC State and her main problem was difference-making recruits. But I thought the teams played hard and very good ball. She didn't have great talent at Missouri state (almost by definition, the former SW Missouri State is not going to draw recruits), but she had a nice run in the...

She looked simply stunning on the draft show. My Mom would tell me that you will meet people who have it all-looks, talent, character, etc. She told me just to sit back and admire them. Rae fits the bill.

It is nice to see Striplin step up. She is slow to develop, but she will be a good player.

Others have mentioned this, but ESPN being in Bristol (not the Tennessee one) has to have something to do with the coverage. Both towns, Storrs and Bristol, are suburbs of Hartford. And Knoxville looks like a big exciting city compared to Bristol. The small-town locals are getting behind the...
