4d ago24:35

24:35

Season-opening performances don't get much better than that. It's Nico's time, and Tennessee Vols fans are rejoicing. Iamaleava checked all the boxes in Tennessee's win against Chattanooga.

Why it's College Football Playoff or bust for Tennessee Vols. And 9-3 won't cut it 29:38

11d ago29:38

29:38

Preseason projections of Tennessee's 2024 record tend to come down to two options: 10-2 or 9-3. That might not sound like much difference, but in the 12-team College Football Playoff era, it's probably the difference between making the playoff or not. Vols fans have their sights set on making the playoff in Josh Heupel's fourth season. Tennessee dr…

Three burning questions as Tennessee football winds down preseason practice 34:13

17d ago34:13

34:13

Preseason practice offers a glimpse at depth chart strengths and weaknesses. We're left with some questions. One player we're not questioning: Nico Iamaleava. The buzz around Tennessee's redshirt freshman quarterback is reminiscent of the hype surrounding Peyton Manning, Heath Shuler and Condredge Holloway. Iamaleava is worthy of that hype. Some ot…

What I did on my summer vacation 18:01

18:01

Every year as school began, it seemed that each of my primary school teachers would have us write a paragraph or an essay about our summer's activities.

What Josh Heupel's recruiting hot streak means for Tennessee football 33:38

1M ago33:38

33:38

Can we put to bed the narrative that Josh Heupel is an average recruiter? That was one of the knocks on Heupel when Tennessee hired him in 2021. Since then, though, he’s been a steady recruiter – NIL helps – and he’s assembling his best class ever. The Vols are on a recruiting hot streak. Their 2025 recruiting class is positioned for a top-10 natio…

Greg McElroy hypes Nico Iamaleava’s Heisman Trophy campaign. Is Tennessee quarterback deserving? 34:37

2M ago34:37

34:37

Tennessee didn’t select Nico Iamaleava to be among its contingent at SEC media days, but that did little to contain the hype for the Vols’ ballyhooed redshirt freshman quarterback. The Nico train is out of the station, and ESPN’s Greg McElroy jumped into the conductor’s seat this week when he predicted Iamaleava will be a Heisman Trophy finalist. T…

Why Tennessee football should brace for disrespect at SEC media days 28:09

2M ago28:09

28:09

Should Tennessee expect a dose of disrespect when the media who cover the SEC vote next week to predict the conference's standings? Probably a hint of it, at least.

Tennessee baseball has been here before. Tony Vitello’s success is not new. He’s made winning the expectation. In previous seasons, though, talented Vols teams fizzled before the championship.

How Josh Heupel, Tennessee football avoid NCAA's transfer 'epidemic' 30:18

4M ago30:18

30:18

Transfers are a reality of college football in 2024, but Tennessee loses fewer players than most. Even better, the Vols very rarely lose top performers. Tennessee bid farewell to 15 transfers this offseason, three of whom were walk-ons. That's the fewest number of transfer departures for any SEC team. By comparison, Alabama lost 39 players to the p…

Why Josh Heupel does (or doesn't) need to produce more NFL Draft picks at Tennessee 30:40

4M ago30:40

30:40

Three Tennessee football players were selected in the NFL Draft last week. Cause for celebration, or concern? The four qualifying teams for last season’s College Football Playoff combined for 44 draft picks.

6 burning Tennessee football questions after spring game, as transfer portal opens 38:02

5M ago38:02

38:02

Tennessee football can rest easy about its starting quarterback situation. Not only is Nico Iamaleava the starter, he's a star in the making. Iamaleava's tidy performance in Saturday's spring game reiterated that all is well with Tennessee's QB1. Elsewhere on the roster, it's more of a mixed situation. The Vols face areas they could solidify enteri…

Grading Lady Vols' hire of Kim Caldwell: Not an 'A,' but passing grade 37:38

5M ago37:38

37:38

The Lady Vols are all in on Kim Caldwell's upside. Tennessee athletic director Danny White didn't want to miss the boat on Caldwell or delay hiring a coach whose career is on an upward trajectory.

Resurrection... what does that mean? With Bob Mendelsohn 18:01

5M ago18:01

18:01

The concept did not originate in the Christian world, it's Jewish! The prophets of Elijah and Elisha raised people from the dead, and it's recorded in our Holy Scriptures. So it's not a surprise that the Jewish believers in Yeshua also saw that as part of our proper theological view. Certainly the Orthodox Jewish world today still holds to that tho…

Rick Barnes and the Sweet 16 go hand and hand. The Vols are back among the NCAA Tournament’s final 16 teams standing in March Madness for the second straight year and the third time during Barnes’ tenure.

Tennessee’s early SEC Tournament exit cost the Vols a likely No. 1 NCAA seed.

What's the most important game on Tennessee football schedule? You can probably guess 34:34

Perhaps it goes without saying. We’ll say it anyway. The Third Saturday in October will be the most important game on Tennessee’s 2024 schedule. Oh, sure, we realize the importance of a few other games. When the Vols face Georgia in mid-November, Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs may well be ranked No. 1. Tennessee’s September date at Oklahoma, Josh Heupel’s …

Why Tennessee basketball is built for March Madness. Hint: Dalton Knecht 24:28

7M ago24:28

24:28

Is this finally the year Tennessee basketball makes a Final Four? We've wondered that about previous Rick Barnes teams, but Barnes has never advanced past the Sweet 16 with the Vols.

How Tennessee football can use NCAA investigation as a recruiting pitch 32:09

7M ago32:09

32:09

Maybe this is the NCAA’s way of doing Tennessee a favor. UT officials have decried the NCAA’s latest investigation into the Tennessee Vols, but if you think about it, the Vols can use this to their advantage. Tennessee’s response to this investigation can be loosely summarized as: Rules? What rules? Let’s make some deals. Sounds like a start to a r…

30:58

Round 1 went to the NCAA. A more important Round 2 is set to be decided next week. Tennessee's legal clash with the NCAA is continuing to play out in the courtroom, and the state's attorney general doesn't seem too demoralized that a judge did not grant a temporary restraining order this week that would have halted the NCAA's NIL guidelines. That's…

Tennessee is under NCAA investigation. Again. This time, the investigation involves potential violations to the NCAA’s flimsy NIL guidelines. And, this time, Tennessee is fighting back.

The transfer portal is open, and Tennessee needs to do a little holiday shopping. The Vols have legitimate needs to address for 2024. Defensive backs? Wide receivers? A tight end?
