    UT hockey moving up to top division

    This is great news! I played two games for the Ice Vols in Feb 2004. I got to campus as a freshman in Fall 2003 and they had seen tape of me in HS as a goalie. I went through preseason and tryouts and was fourth on the depth chart. Since it was a club sport, you also had to pay to play (I think...

    Hadden 3rd DB

    This is total myth. Willie Martinez has been an excellent DB coach (and recruiter) everywhere he has been. His only major failure was when he was made DC at UGA. Our CB play has gotten better since 2021 thanks to improved talent.

    QB U?

    This is the list of former Vols with more than 100 pass attempts in the NFL. I'm sure it's similar at most top schools. Also worth noting that Tony Robinson has more pass attempts (18) in the NFL than Tee Martin (16).

    Felix Okpara commits to Vols!

    That's her. She's already beloved in Columbus (a town that's not inclined to embrace new people on the sports beat). I would put her up with some of the best I've worked with. Clay Hall, Rick Russo, Daryl Hobby and Justin Kropf. All class acts.

    Felix Okpara commits to Vols!

    Felix actually has a pretty great story and his host family is from Nashville. My sports report here in Columbus use to work at WATE in Knoxville. She tells me Vol fans are going to love Felix.

    Kentucky coaching situation

    I'm confused. If they were going this far down the coaching board, why not just get Rick Pitino Jr?

    Kim Caldwell (Rookie Coach of the Year-WBCA) is named Head Coach of Iconic Lady Vols WBB

    Carla Berube? The same Carla Berube whose free throws in the final seconds of the 1995 National Championship Game caused Pat to slam her hand on the scorers table and say, "I really hate this"? Geno has always bred hate for the Lady Vols into his players. I wonder if she would even be interested.

    Players who did not get a fair shake

    You mean CJ Leak, the older brother of Florida QB Chris Leak. CJ loved Tennessee in spite of the awkward position he was in (on campus older brother of a highly recruited QB who spurned the Vols for the Gators). I had some classes with CJ and he always showed up (many of the other football...

    The Official #6 [2] Tennessee vs. #3 [1] Purdue Game Thread, 2:20 PM ET, ESPN

    Purdue's run ends when they run into refs willing to call it equal. It probably happens against UConn, which will make for a slaughtering in the National Championship. Purdue is one dimensional and being propped up by referee protection of their one exceptional part.

    The Official #6 [2] Tennessee vs. #3 [1] Purdue Game Thread, 2:20 PM ET, ESPN

    I mean the refs have long protected guys like Edey. It's the constant traveling I don't understand. It's the most basic rule of the game.
