There you have it. Vol Calls replaced by more not less. In particular, “Volunteer Gameday.”
Well. I can still miss vol calls. Another thing I am adding to the list that my generation lived on both sides of. Maybe not top 5, but potentially top 10.

Vol Calls
It's a damn long list
 
That’s because he threw the ball downfield. He wasn’t throwing screens at the LOS ten times a game…
Matt Sims had better numbers, kinda, but far worse results. I remember when they first put Bray in and benched Sims. Our 3rd down conversion rate doubled, even though Bray's completion rate was considerably worse. Funny what happens when you actually throw past the sticks.
 
I made a web app (built with Python and Dash, hosted on Render) that shows the Vols roster makeup by state for every season going back to 1970. You can scroll through each year and see how the roster changed over time. The map updates and there's a legend that shows the percentage of the roster from each state.


The percentages compare each state to the previous year so you can see which ones are gaining or losing ground. There's an autoplay option too if you want to just sit back and watch it change year by year.


It works on mobile but it looks better on desktop. I'm not a frontend dev or anything and this is just a side project I put together for fun. Let me know what you think.

Edit: I should add that I built this using publicly available roster data acquired from utsports.com.
Edit2: Website might take 20s or so to spin up if you're the first person to look at it in a while.
