My first exposure to Tennessee football was in 1963's orange and white game. Next year, coach Dickey took over and I was able to meet Steve DeLong, Outland Trophy winner and All-American way back in '64 in Nashville.

I am with Giannis on this one. Score 2 points and get the game ball??? Score 64 and forget it sport????
And the closest ref never threw his flag on this play. It ended up being a remarkable catch. It was good to see a balanced attack utilized by the Vols tonight as well. There were a few dropped passes but all in all, it was a good one.
It was a good effort by Tennessee and the fans showed up big time with their support. A balanced offense and stingy defense was the difference in this one.
We saw some Florida defensive backs with white gloves on, hold our receivers too. Maybe the color combination will make pass interference or defensive holding more visible due to the black jerseys. You have to think of everything this day and time.
I was looking forward to seeing Bishop play but we are loaded at running back so he should heal up and get stronger if he misses this season. He is born for stardom in my opinion.
There is only one dog that represents a college football team and that dog is Smoky! Go Big Orange!!!
I wonder if it was his attitude more than the lack of skill sets. His suspension for the South Carolina game had to affect the team spirit in that one. I've only heard rumors concerning the reason of his suspension but wonder if anyone out there has the scoop.
I believe a young man in his situation can be rehabilitated for such a minor offense. Surely 20 grams is not enough for felony charges and many Southern states have no permit needed to carry laws! Bruce Pearl might be the one to help the kid out and score some good weed in the process!
After everyone including the PA announcer Jeff Jarnigan got Santi Vescovi's name wrong for so long, I hope that they listened to this and practice up on the pronunciation because I have a feeling that his name is going to be heard a lot in Big Orange Country.
Now that football uniforms have become a fashion statement to many, why not have a beauty contest at the end of the season and have Finebaum emcee it. If the players want all of this hooplah over the uniforms, then so be it but I think it's a bit silly from a fan's viewpoint.
He has become a pariah and most likely will never recover from his "slip ups." He will just have to bask in his memories surrounded by millions of dollars. Not such a bad life I would say.
The LSU victory adds salve to the pain of losing to Georgia. The Bulldogs look good enough for a repeat of the NC. I don't see Michigan or Ohio State sticking with them but we will find out! Don't count out the Vols either!
The Tennessee secondary has played horribly this season but improved vastly against Kentucky. The run defense has been solid against each team that they have played. According to Mr. Mitchell, Tennessee hasn't faced a defensive backfield as strong as Georgia's. Good. I believe this Tennessee team likes challenges. But ultimately it comes down to the bones and the bones say Go Big Orange and everyone knows that the bones, well they never lie.
That's right. Stick with a loser. He is over the hill.
Somehow the details of the fight got lost in the charges. Every game McCollough misses is punishment though. I expect the court to go easy on him but it might be a while before he gets that day in court and every day hurts him more would be my guess.
I said it last night and I'll say it again today. It's great to be a Tennessee Vol!
Lou Holtz also had a few unkind words for Kelly as well. We will see what LSU brings to the table this year. October 8 stands out in my mind.
I never stood in a batters box but I do know you can't argue balls and strikes, period. Every ballplayer should know that and if you drop the f bomb, goodbye. What really disturbed me was the "fan" that held up a t-shirt that said, "Classless Catholics". That is the same as hate speech in my way of seeing things and I am not Catholic. Let's show some class and whoop some ass!
Once again, the Gators have shown to be the new low class team from the State of Florida. They can push but they don't like it when you push back. They wanted to punk our bigs.
I hope he never regrets his choice no matter if it is A&M or elsewhere.
Greg Isaacs is a valuable resource for anyone finding themselves needing a big time lawyer. Tim Burchett is only a good ole boy who was last seen with knee pads and orange stains on his lips. GBO
These are young men who have a variety of reasons for wanting a transfer. They should be able to transfer freely to any school or conference that will accept them and be immediately eligible. If a kid happens to pop off at the mouth about the school causing the holdup, is it the young man's fault or the school's? After all, the school, and its athletic program is supposedly run by competent adults.
Watch where Tennessee ends up. They will surprise some people is my prediction. Tony Vitello has them on the right path.
Let them laugh Wolfman. Let's remind them of Urban Meyer. From Bowling Green on into football history. You never know what is going on in the brain of a coach who is successful everywhere they go. We shall all see.
13.5 sacks so far is outstanding for sure. If it is anyone's fault, it lies at the foot of THE Ohio State University unless he actually did something or received a benefit that is not allowed.
The replay says it all. I am sure that many of these last minute injuries in a situation like this are fake. The Bulldogs are driving the ball and then one of the opposing players tells another to hit the deck. It was too obvious. There needs to be a special penalty when these things are caught. The replay official sees all replays and saw this one but had no power to do anything. We need a flop rule like in the NBA when a player fakes an injury. Kelly would make a fine politician with the way he covers things up.
Those teams must have been god awful for Tennessee not making that list during the Foo Dooley years. He wouldn't even visit the local high schools.
Bruce Pearl's hard work at Auburn has paid off on the basketball court. Hopefully it will go well for them should they have to go to Federal court. The Tennessee fans ran off Cuonzo Martin in hopes of luring Pearl back to Rocky Top but Auburn jumped on the chance before he was even eligible to coach yet. Charles Barkley has been a huge supporter of Pearl through tough times. I will always appreciate his coaching no matter where he happens to be as long as he is not alone with my wife. snark snark
