The way this typically works is, teammates give each other nicknames. Eventually, those of us outside the locker room hear about them, and some of us use them. So we don't need to spend any time trying to think up suggestions. Not our role. Let's just stay tuned. Go Vols!

No, man, that's too small a definition. The Tennessee Family is much too large for that to fit. Consider this scenario: your daughter went to UT to play softball. You and your wife became committed Vols, for the rest of your lives. But neither of you ever attended the university. Her...

It doesn't matter what you or I think about someone else. There are as many unique circumstances as there are people. Sometimes those circumstances pull people down weird life paths, even sometimes away from the University of Tennessee. No matter their path, if they are committed to being a...

Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Florida State and USCw are always good choices for these kinds of out-of-conference meetings. Add Oregon for recent events, and I think that's a pretty good short list. Go Vols!

Who's George?

Just because your brain thinks it, that doesn't mean your mouth's gotta say it, or your fingers type it. Best fans are those who don't denigrate their own program. Even if, "well, it's true." Go Vols!

I'd say more than one class, Cherokee. The 2021 class was cobbled together as best Heupel could through the mess of Pruitt's firing and the sanctions announcement. But the classes prior to that also were badly affected, hollowed out by departures of most of the best talent. Think guys like...

Congratulations! Where is Fort Gregg-Adams, and what MOS did you get? Go Vols!

Praying for you, man.

Again--I think you're gonna be shocked how ready Nico is to take the helm of a Power 5 team. I think he has learned a lot more already than many can possibly anticipate. Watch for him to come out of the gates at a sprint. Go Vols!

It is hard to gauge things like this. Our QBs, and to an extent every player on the field, are having their difficulty levels dialed up and down so the coaches can see what they can do without overwhelming them. So if, for instance, running our full offense at 100% looks kinda like this...

Oh, so you think we've been through a down period. Interesting.

Not being a big NFL follower, a lot of this video clip confused me at first. Didn't know who any of those people were, didn't understand some of their lingo. So took a few minutes to figure it all out. Providing this for other folks who might be in the same boat as me: a. The first fella...

I'm not even sure OL is a push. It may belong with the "better" crowd. And, as with several other position groups, it might be thanks to 'addition by subtraction.' Sure, many of the OL first seven are back from last year. I get why you say it's a push. But one who isn't back, Ollie Lane...

I'm here to skin you, Woodsman. Imagine you have a whole audio library full of the crappiest music the world has ever heard. Like Rebecca Black ("Friday"), Milli Vanilli (pick any of their songs, they didn't really sing any of them anyway), Rick Astley, and the guy who did Disco Duck. That...
