Pretty sure this stat line communicates only that he’s playing competition he and his team severely outclass, after all, football is one of the most team dependent of team sports and who knows if he’s completing 3 yard slants that his WRs are housing. Compare and contrast to George M not putting...

Neyland is great no matter what. I like it best at night but the 3:30 is a close second. Noon is the worst but it's still pretty darn good.

I would take this no questions asked.

UT beats UF 230-0 and eclipses Georgia Tech’s record for most lopsided victory. UF fires Napier at the end of the first quarter, Rob Sale at the end of the second quarter, Austin Armstrong at the end of the third quarter, and Scott Stricklin at the end of the game. 25% of the UF roster quits at...

Cole seems to be influenced by his trips quite a bit. He was all UGA until he visited Knoxville. It was then either UGA or UT until he visited LA and now USCw is running at or near the top. Let's get him into town and sell him on UT being the closest option to home and that options provides him...

No coach is going to land each of their recruiting targets. Garner recruits lights out but still loses his fair share. Not everyone is a fit with Garner. But Garner gets guys who fit and he gets the most out of them. I'll take the ones that want to work with Garner and be fine with losing those...

Week 1 tends to lead to overreactions on the positives and negatives (i.e., Colorado is a juggernaut and Florida is horrible). It's fun to discuss but no one really knows what the season will look like until we get 1/3 of the way or more into the season. Right now, we have no idea if UVA is just...

Jordan Ross + Kellen Lindstrom + Jeremias Heard (but maybe an OT) + Carson Gentle + Danny Okoye + Nasir Smith + Kameryn Fountain (maybe) = fire DL class. Even without one or two of those players, Garner isn't messing around even with some misses on the trail.

I mean, Rodney Garner, a man who is sparing with his praise, said the other day that the DL is beginning to look like a championship team room. We have gotten some highly regarded DL recruits the last three or four cycles but mostly mid-to-low 4*s and some higher regarded 3*s (the two exceptions...

White's success at UT is certainly a byproduct of him knowing what he is doing. But it also shows that UT always had what it takes to be at the pinnacle of college sports, including in AD revenue. That's why all of us Vol fans have been flummoxed as to why UT wasn't more successful in sports all...

Bates would’ve been a great pull from Florida, but our secondary recruiting has been pretty good. Right now, our lack of OTs, edges, and DTs in this class concerns me. Every other position groups, including the secondary without Bates, has been really good.

I saw McCallie play Woodward Academy in Chattanooga last fall. Woodward had some players on that team (Myles Graham was one of them), and Gentle, to my inexpert eye, seemed to have the most impact on the game. He was a force on the DL and caught a couple big passes from the TE position. No clue...

There is so much whinging about our recruiting in what is shaping up to be the best class at UT in quite some time. For sure, we have missed on some key targets (Fountain is the most obvious) but we have landed some big time players and are in the hunt for others and every program misses on...

Presuming UT gets Franklin and loses out on Nwaneri, UT desperately needs to find another quality DT from the high school ranks. I hope some of Rushing, Ross, Okoye, etc., work out on the edge, but have to get some DTs too.

This is how I read it. I interpreted it as the Vols were fading for Ross but then he went on his visits to UF and UGA and realized that maybe the fit for him was better at UT and he’s wanting to verify that’s the case. I could be wrong but that’s how I read it.
