The SEC Nation crew, including Finebaum, has a lot of fun. For Saturday’s show, Finebaum did his best Undertaker entrance, rising from an orange-and-white coffin in a Tennessee jersey.

Like many of his media peers, Finebaum was down on Tennessee after the Jeremy Pruitt situation and transfer portal exodus that followed the coaching change. In Year 1 under Josh Heupel, the Volunteers exceeded expectations by making (and almost winning) a bowl game.
In Year 2, Heupel has the Vols undefeated (5-0), ranked in the top-10 (No. 6) and No. 2 in the nation in scoring (46.8 points per game) with a potential Heisman Trophy candidate at quarterback in Hendon Hooker.
Finebaum and other UT alumni have a lot to be excited about when it comes to the Vols. Tennessee will officially be declared back from the dead if it can take down Alabama.
