Exhibit 1 (Sports Illustrated cover with T-Rob (1985) Exhibit 2 (Sugar VOLS with Dickey) I fondly recall in my freshman year both the jubilation of defeating the Bo Jackson Tigers in Neyland and defeating the “U” in New Orleans with a back-up quarterback (after we lost T-Rob mid season). While...

Not trying to be a good fan… just trying to be a Good VOL. Feel free to share your own “maxims” Go VOLS!

While it’s been awhile since I posted, like many of you I’ve been following our Vols through the 2024 season.… I remember posting to my fellow Volunteers few years ago that I was “Feeling Satisfied” with our team…. and I remain so. I’ve followed plenty of threads recently (which I’d actually...

Glad there was already a thread on this… my$.02: Georgia has overtaken now both FSU (under Jimbo) and UF (under Urban). If chatting with UGA fans, I plan to simply ask if they prefer I refer to their coach as either “Jimbo Smart” or “Kirby Meyer.” There’s truth in either…. It’s actually...

I haven’t posted a new thread in awhile, hoping VOLNation will enjoy what I’d characterize as some of my CFB offseason musings before the “talking time” associated with SEC media days next week. First off, I’ve already admitted to following (but not posting on) the SECRant site. That site is...

Beyond all the posts about changes to our conference, I recognized on the SEC shorts video both Matt and Josh…. Both funny guys (way better than Funny Maine and even Uncle Lou). Since the SEC Shorts included all the “guests” from the clip, I looked at Josh’s account (link below) and was...

Way back in the 70s, I had the “Tudor Electronic Football Game.” Basically, there was a switch on it where after setting up the players, the field would vibrate the little plastic players (they didn’t have a college football version back then). It’s kinda amazing to me that with all the...

https://www.secrant.com/sec-sports/kirby-smart-comments-on-georgia-qb-jaden-rashada-and-his-lawsuit-with-florida/113537950/ I was thinking after I read this story (Ga Coach saying he had no part in Rashada suing Napier/UF booster) that if I were an attorney for either Rashida’s family or UF...

It’s cerfainly funny to me that Kentucky baseball fans were “patting themselves on the back” this past few days for “winning” the SEC men’s baseball crown.l this season. Not so fast… It actually turns out that our VOLS are the real regular season champions of the SEC as we have the #1 seed...

Slaughter!

https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/college-football/peterson-five-g5-schools-i-cant-wait-to-play-with-in-ea-sports-college-football-25/ With the upcoming EA release of NCAA Football video game, I can’t help to recall Big Cat creating a little relief for all of us as COVID quarantines affected us...

I just saw the HBC video where this thread probably began… While a student, I did (unfortunately) get to see Spurrier’s Blue Devil’s beat our VOLS in 1988 (at Neyland).. Ugg. I also remember vividly the Gators having beat us many times in the 2000’s and 2010’s even when we had a better...

I’d suggest you point your friend to Vol Navy Facebook page for information … it appears to be still active 😎 Log into Facebook There’s lots of retired Navy folks who are VOLS… like me😁

Saw this thread on SECRANT… What is your favorite Verne Lundquist SEC football memory? Been awhile since I posted (I don’t post anywhere else), but since it’s post spring football time, I thought about what mine would be… Even though this was in the CBJ era, it was certainly amazing for an...
