It’s scrimmage time! Tomorrow will be the Vols first full scrimmage this fall. It will be approximately 100 plays and, of course, it will be closed to the public.

I like to pass along a few tidbits from the day that stand out to me as newsworthy. Feel free to add your thoughts by clicking on “comments”.

I know, it’s football season but I thought the basketball team heading off to Europe was news worthy. Here are coach Pearl’s comments before heading out.

In his latest article, Program Pecking Order, Stewart Mandel put the Vols among the nations elite programs while at the same time took some pretty cutting shots at the Georgia Bulldogs. I can respect that, can’t you?

Coach Fulmer’s comments: ‘LaMarcus Coker has been suspended indefinitely from the Tennessee football team.’

I know it’s early, but you can’t start getting ready for the Gators early enough. That said, in the spirit of rivalry, I’ve agreed to do a blog swap with a Florida Gator blog named Saurian Sagacity for the September 15th game in Gainesville.

Tennessee released the official 2007-2008 full basketball schedule today. I know some had been waiting for this all week so I thought I would go ahead and post it.

The coaches always have a lot to say this time of year. They are excited about the new season and can’t wait to get to work on all of the plans and ideas they’ve had during the summer.

Here is the audio from Coach Fulmer’s comments during the media day Saturday morning. It’s about 20 minutes long. He breaks down the outlook of the team and his thoughts on the newcomers position by position.

Fall practice has started! Can you feel it? Did you wake up this morning and feel a bit different? It was only the first practice and their were no pads but it’s exciting none the less.
