December 25, 1899.......Christmas Day!

UT - 6
Grant - 0

J.A. Price was Tennessee’s first full time Head Coach. His last game of his first season was vs Grant College (now UT Chattanooga) in Chattanooga on Christmas Day. 2,500 spectators watched UT defeat Grant on a field covered in 3 inches of mud. The only score (TDs counted 5 points) was a 10 yard run by H.S. Olmstead and an extra point by Logan, giving Tennessee a 6-0 victory. Tennessee would finish the season 6-2.

No offense to the young man...but Carr is being selfish.

You knew exactly what Barnes expected and demanded from his players. You didn't want to RS last year and he didn't force it, instead he played you in 14 games for 60 minutes. Then you sat back and watched as DJ Jefferson left. A guy that by all accounts would do anything to still be a Vol.

And why? All your numbers were much improved, minutes over 10 minutes and just growing until the injury. And when the team really needed you because JP was already out and Bishop now out you're going to RS and then bail after the semester is over.

3 scholarships will be open in January...sure hope Barnes can pull a rabbit. This team could fade before March just from attrition.

They’ll have 9 scholarship players. Barnes has never played more than an 8 man rotation.

Fair point. But it’s worrisome if injuries were to hit. Plus I really wanted to watch him play. For us. Was a fan. That shot in the tournament last year. 😁

Whatever, I guess. I award him a lump of coal in his stocking and move on. He’s in charge of his own career.

Agree…we can’t lose more dudes. Hopefully, we’re healthy from here on out.

Lump of coal for Carr and Lagonza Hayward this Christmas. I’m petty.

Merry Christmas to everyone. Hold your loved ones close and enjoy every second of it.

Just lost an uncle this morning that meant everything to me. In a way, he raised me growing up. A part of me is now gone.

Much love to everyone here and hope you have the most blessed day with your family. Love you guys.
