    What are your best extreme winter-weather whopper stories?

    You're probably thinking about the "Storm of the Century" in '93. East Tennessee, including the UT campus, experienced true blizzard conditions, with Mount LeConte recording, I believe, 60 inches of snow, while much of middle Tennessee experienced crippling ice-storm effects.

    East Tennessee Weather II

    How are conditions currently in the greater Knoxville area? And can anyone confirm the accuracy of this information, which was posted at 2:46 p.m. EST: "Power outages from Winter Storm Fern now exceed one million customers, according to poweroutage.us. Tennessee leads the pack with more than...

    Mike Keith Interviews Jim Knowles

    Yes, indeed. A lot of so-called journalists would gain credibility if they adhered to his stylistic approach. Frame your questions as precisely and with as much detail as you need, then sit back and keep your mouth shut. Let him provide a thorough answer without interruption before proceeding to...

    GMAC numbers

    The '86 Sugar Bowl was the most complete, 60-minute, team effort I have seen from a Tennessee football team in my 59 years of fandom.

    GMAC numbers

    That sounds correct. He was, indeed, deceptively fast, given his size. Yes, he ran for 2535 yards, averaged 6.6 ypc, and scored 24 touchdowns rushing on the ground from 2001-2004 for the Razorbacks.

    New QB

    Well, he's still around. Sonny will turn 92 just in time for the 2026 season.

    GMAC numbers

    That's a pretty good comparison, too. I don't recall Lawrence as ever having been as rail-thin as George, however.

    GMAC numbers

    Jones could be his last name but, of course, Dale was one of the legendary members of the '85 Sugar Vols."

    GMAC numbers

    From what little I have seen of him on film, he has a surprisingly good spin move for a quarterback, which, needless to say, greatly enhances his ability to elude tacklers. His height, frame and mobility remind me, if memory serves me correctly, of a lanky Arkansas quarterback whose name I can't...

    Say what you mean, mean what you say, and do what you say your are going to do! That is the quintessential manifestation of honor.

    UT hires Indiana’s Derek Owings as its new S&C coach

    "Owings was on Cignetti’s staff for four previous seasons at James Madison University. In their six years together, the Dukes and Hoosiers won 64 games. Before that, Owings worked at Utah State and Central Florida. Here’s the connection: Derek was assistant strength coach for Heupel in 2018...

    2025/26 Transfer Portal Thread

    Yep. Consider the following facts: 1. Cignetti was born June 2, 1961, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 2. He played quarterback for the nearby West Virginia Mountaineers from 1979 to 1982. 3. He was an assistant coach at Pitt (QB/TE) from 1993–1999. 4. He was head coach at Indiana University of...

    A View from Big Ben: 2025 Season Grades

    London Vol, out of curiosity, do you employ a slightly different grading scale in England? Criticism of our linebackers' and defensive backs' performance is fully justified, but what are you attempting to convey by "E"?

    Taron Dickens ????

    He just recommitted to Montana State for another season. However, he just led them to an FCS national championship. Perhaps he would reconsider and pursue an even bigger challenge, particularly if the NIL package was significantly bigger, and I believe that we can safely conclude that Montana...

    '27 TX LB Cooper Witten

    Of course, but I have seen no comments pertaining specifically to the point I raised between Knowles and Jason's son.
