If Colorado can get their NIL packages close to the same ballpark for a kid, you're going to have them pick up players that want to play for Coach Prime. He is part of the bid. Also, there are a lot of young men who share Prime's attitude and love his swagger & bling. (The jury is out on...

The national title game against FSU is probably an accurate indicator of how a game between 98 Tennessee and 22 Georgia would go. That Seminole team and 22 Georgia are very similar. It's amazing to look back and see how many players from that UT-FSU game had long NFL careers. Vols win it...

I'm an old man. I've walked Big Orange Country long enough to witness several decades of the ebbs & flows of SEC football power. Two things have been constant over the past 50+ years of UT/SEC fandom. (1.) Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida have the most resources and one...

Vols now have the 4th rated class in the SEC (according to Rivals.) The Bammers, Dawgs & Aggies... then the Vols. WAY behind those three... but still. Did any of you SANE posters ever see this coming? :-)

Vols now have a top 10 class, according to Rivals. Florida is at 71... just ahead of Campbell, Army and Navy.

Right now, Florida has the 70th ranked class. That is behind such powerhouse programs as Tulane, Memphis, Utah State, Marshall.... The Gators are 40 spots below VANDERBILT. Tennessee is 58 spots ahead. Granted, there's still the February signing period and the transfer portal is full of...

Yup... But I'm OLD.

Sitting at 12 on Rivals. Any surprises lurking out there that might push the Vols into the top 10?

Okay... so... the Vols are still after this Nolen kid... right? What's the latest?

Vols need depth. Vols just need to load this class with as many big, fast young men as they can. There wasn't a recruiting service out there who thought Cedric Tillman was the kind of WR who could consistently reel in 100+ yards in SEC play, let alone go for 200+ against the likes of...

Thank you! This is great1

Is there a place / thread that has a comprehensive, up-to-date list of every player currently in the transfer portal and who they're leaning toward?

His arms might weigh in at 100lbs, by themselves

After Gene Stallings, they went through Mike Dubose, Mike Price, Dennis Franchione and Mike Shula before FINALLY landing Nick Saban. This illustrates 2 things... (1) Alabama administrators, boosters, etc..., are no better, no smarter or wealthier than what the Vols have had for the past 15...

I think Jimmy has been around here for every coaching search since CFP was let go, in 2008. Does anybody have access to past tweets, etc... in order to evaluate how accurate he was on all the previous coaching searches?
