Alright folks, since I’m the first one up this morning, I guess we’ll kick things off so we have a place to rant, rave, and celebrate throughout the day.  For some fans, it’s going to be a victorious day, and for others, signing day will look more like a real-life horror film.  F...

This blog entry isn’t going to receive any love. Not from Tennessee fans. Not from Alabama fans. I’ve come to terms with that, and acceptance is a very important step in the recovery process. And make no mistake — I’m going to need to “recover” from writing this b...

Hank and Hammy: What do these two men have in common? More than you may think. I hate the New York Yankees. That’s never going to change. Their free-wheeling, free-spending, anything-BUT-free frame of mind when it comes to spending money embodies everything that is wrong with baseball. To me, ...

“Keep this in perspective,” I told myself. “He’s a defensive line coach.” As I was painting my Papaw’s old flat-bottom boat this afternoon and VolstotheWall rushed in the paint-fumed room to tell me that the reports were wrong, that Lane and Monte Kiffin performed...

Forget the rumor mill. Nevermind the second thoughts. Put to rest any of the doubts. One of the greatest defensive minds in the modern era of football is coming to Knoxville to join his son.

There are a lot of questions to be answered about UT heading into the UCLA opener ...

If the Tennessee Vols and Bruce Pearl didn’t have a top-five national class before today, they do now. Former Arizona commitment Emmanuel Negedu — a 6-foot-7 athlete who is one of the biggest overall talents in the country — chose UT over Memphis, Georgia Tech and Indiana today. CB...

The day was Feb. 18, 1988, and I was eight years old. All day long at school, I could hardly wait. Tonight, Tennessee played Kentucky, and though I just knew the Vols were going to lose, I was going to get to see my favorite player, Dyron Nix, on regional television. My family had five television st...

(Spoken with the Ladies’ Man lithp) Ladies, ladies, please… I know when I arrived back from Memphis last night, my voice mailbox was full with invitational love-making requests — as always — but even lovelies like you have to give me a night off. After all, when they’re...
