Memphis has the best rappers.

Cool so now it's a rap v. country argument?

Don't listen to the radio. Find better recommendations. Except no one who listens to rap will seek out country, and no one who listens to country will seek out rap. Let's just end that conversation and focus our ill wills on how terrible the new rankings are.

Nothing is less original than country music.

Every song is barefoot swaying in the moonlight while missing her.

Google "Bo Burnham Country Song." It's pretty hilariously/sadly spot on.

Toby Nwigwe is solidly original and is a really good guy from what I can tell. Use to play football at North Texas.

Tyler Childers is my personal favorite, never heard a single song I didn't like. His show at the Bijou was amazing. The Lone Bellow also killer as is Shovels and Rope.

Shovels and rope is amazing

Freshman OL Chris Akporoghene has been a weight room warrior since arriving, gaining close to 25 pounds during offseason conditioning.

But Akporoghene will have to wait a bit to see if translate to the field, as the 6-4, 300-pound lineman had a minor knee procedure that will sideline him for the start of spring practice, per sources.

It’s unclear how long Akporoghene will be out, but a short-handed OL will be without another body starting spring practice Thursday. Brandon Kennedy will also be limited and Trey Smith will not participate, leaving the Vols with just 10 fully healthy scholarship OL at the start of spring camp.

10. LSU

At least we're ahead of Kensucky now. We need to win the SEC tournament & wait for one or two of the ACC schools to drop after their tournament.

That’s hilarious! We see who the pollsters favor. ACC with 3 of top 4 teams. Keep disrespecting us. That’s fine.

DON’T PICK US!!!

I’m finna be insufferable at work tomorrow.

Already got one “FU” from one coworker. All I did was send a news article link.

I saw him in Louisville back in December and it was incredible. Cant wait to see him at Rhythm n Blooms this year.

 

[UTSuave’]

This is bulls**t. No respect! How does a 4 and 5 loss team stay ahead of us!? I’m so confused.

Rap is getting better with time, Country is getting worse with time...

Not sure if serious?

 

[BennesseeVols]

Wrong...

Tyler Childers, Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell, Colter Wall, Sturgill Simpson, Jamestown Revival, Willie Watson, Shakey Graves, The Wildfeathers, Trampled by Turtles...a few that write songs on a different level.

The funny thing with country is people are breaking it a part now. So you see Americana or Folk or Indie thrown around.

Solid list

very....I like him. I started following him on The Instagram.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

How in the world does Duke only drop 1 spot every time they lose, no matter who it is to? We lose to Uk and drop 4 spots, then 2 more when we lost to LSU. The bias is so ridiculous.

Not sure if you had this experience, but the crowd seems to sing along with Childers more aggressively than any live performance I can remember.

Something about those songs makes people feel like they’re rooted in them personally.

Will be there myself!

Luke Perry just passed away from results of stroke he had last week. Only 52.

Agreed. All the feels.
