So, I’m aged, a Vol fan since TRob, friend of the family of that undersized center (TK, Pennington Gap VA) for the ‘85 SugarVols. I am not a hater or wanting to start a narrative.

I believe in Joe Milton until I have a reason not to. This quote this morning from Tom Luginbill was “comedy gold, Jerry.” “Milton could overthrow a government.”

Luginbill's just looking for a cheap laugh. JM played all last year, including MVP in the Orange Bowl, without an overthrow problem. It would have been funnier and more relevant at the beginning of last year.

“Milton could overthrow a government.”

OK, now that is rich. However, it is probably very accurate. See, our government is historically lethargic. It can't run on it's own, it can't jump, it can't catch on to anything new, it's constantly getting bogged down, etc. etc. What QB wouldn't overthrow today's government??

Ok. So he’s probably right, but only if a bunch of what ifs are answered correctly, such as what if Joe leads the team to an incredible playoff run.

If he answers all those what ifs with Ws, he could easily run for Senator in Tennessee and win. Win it all and who knows? Governor? SEC Commish? Twitter’s next owner?

With his slick hair and fogged glasses,Luginbill isn't facing the playing field.Just like all the ESPN talking heads that are left,they sound more like Star magazine writers than sports announcers/commentators.Just get some sports announcers and leave out the "why is he/she wearing that"talk which has nothing to do with college sports.

Problem is they can’t keep their traps closed. They have to say something and it’s usually not positive comments this time of year regarding Tennessee. If we jump out to 6-0 again they will all be on the bandwagon fighting over the drum stick. No one has been he guts to say I think Tennessee is the team to beat if firing on all cylinders. They are in love with Kirby and Saban and even LSU.

I'm a Pennington Bobcat as well. My first UT game was TK's last game v/s Indiana in the Peach Bowl, our high school football team went. Was awesome. He came and spoke with us after the win. I've been Orange ever since.

Dude we're ancient. Most of these young bucks don't remember the Swamp Rat.

The Sugar Vols are probably about as far back as I can remember. The Swamp Rat was on our scramble team a few years back at a Volunteers of America tournament in Nashville. We rode together that day and he kept me entertained the whole round… an absolute legend to say the least (and a pretty darn good golfer).

One of our best.

Warren, Dewey - Volopedia

Dewey Warren, the “Swamp Rat” from Savannah, was UT’s first pure passing quarterback. He played linebacker as a freshman in 1963, was redshirted in 1964, and took over as quarterback when Charley Fulton was injured in the game against the University of Mississippi. The Tennessee offense was aligned to the running game, so Warren was sacked and hit a number of times in his first game. Following the game, when he was asked whether he would be fully recovered for the next game, he replied, “As long as I can stand on one leg and raise my right arm, Old Dewey will be humming that tater.” The linemen set the “hum that tater” to music, and a huddle song was born.

By the time Warren completed his eligibility in 1967, he had set school records for passing yards, completions, attempts, and touchdowns.

Warren was drafted in the 6th round of the 1968 NFL/AFL draft and played one season for the Cincinnati Bengals. He coached at Brigham Young, Kansas State, Tennessee, and the University of the South, and then became a radio talk-show host.
