    Who qualifies for 'VFL' status in your eyes?

    If someone earns their degree from here and pursues a better opportunity elsewhere, then they are still a VFL IMO. Let's take Ty Chandler. Tennessee kid. Commits to play here. Has a good career here. His senior year, we go 3 and 7. Crap with Pruitt hits the fan. A ton of kids transfer. With an...

    If We Could Play 1 Team @ Home in the CFP

    There are several. Missouri - We sTanD oN BuSiNeSs as he runs away... Ole Miss - maybe the mustard bottle won't miss this time. LSU - The number of comments I've read blaming their loss to us in 22 on the 11 am kickoff. That game could have been played 10 times at 10 different locations and 10...

    B10 vs SEC

    The Big 10 was smart enough to negotiate and bring in multiple TV partners where the SEC was dumb and put all their eggs in the Disney basket. They were also smart enough to negotiate shorter deals. Say what you will, but the Big Ten is so much better at the business side of this than the SEC...

    Tennessee All time team

    My starting 5 would be ZZ running point with Dalton, Bernie, Houston, and Grant. The only issue here is a true big man down low, but I think those 5 could run almost any team out of the gym. On the bench, I have Dale Ellis, Ernie G, Admiral, Chris Lofton, Ron Slay, Tobias Harris, Tony White...

    Looks like Mr Iamaleava was on a "business" trip 9 months before Chris was born. 🤣

    UConn is such an under appreciated Blue Blood…

    I'd argue it's the best job in CBB right now. At a school that essentially only cares about basketball. At the doorstep of NYC and loads of talent.

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

    Didn't sing Rocky Top when exiting the plane. Cancel the press conference and fire her now.

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

    This fanbase cracks me up. ALWAYS expects the white whale. We haven't hired one of those since Johnny Majors in any sport I can think of. Maybe I'm forgetting one, but even Rick wasn't a white whale since he was coming off of getting fired at Texas. Relax.

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

    I trust Danny White. His track record speaks for itself. Lots of people thought Nick Saban would fail when LSU hired him. Urban Meyer had only won in the Mountain West, that spread stuff couldn't cut it in the SEC where we play real defense. Josh Heupel's gimmick offense was OK for AAC, but...

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

    Proud of our guys. Hard to do anything when you can't touch someone without a foul being called.

    Clemson sues, wants to leave the ACC

    I'd like to see these two along with UNC and Virginia end up in the SEC. Is 20 too many teams? Yep. But with the Big 10 spread all over the country, I think playing a little defense and keeping the B10 out of the South would be a good move. Once you get to Miami, it's not the south anymore...

    The Official #4 Tennessee vs #14 Alabama Game Thread, Saturday 8pm/ESPN

    If we win these next two games, we should ABSOLUTELY be a number 1 seed, regardless of what happens in the tournament.

    Sounds like a Thursday night SECNW special. I like it.
