Grant Williams looking like he’s worked on his 3 point shot a lot over the off-season. It’s only 3 games and 13 shots so far but he’s shooting 69% from 3 and 70% overall from the floor. Averaging 12.7 PPG to start the season. The 3 point shooting percentage is obviously going to drop but if he can keep that percentage above the average and remain a threat that’ll be big for him and continuing to get minutes.

@Ron Swanson proclaimed the hiring of Heupel “an epic fail” 😂

No one should be claiming ecred or eblame for criticism or praise of the hire until a couple years from now. We've had coaches look good in individual years and fail completely. Coaching success is not defined by "looks better for half a year than prior bad coach."

That said, it's encouraging that his first games are looking so good with a rough roster. Year 3 is when we can determine if the hire was a good one.

Cade should be ready by KY... three FULL weeks of therapy and special double secret probation potions, he plays... Cortizone is a great thing... Evans needs to be full go as well...

They can rest again until the bowl game, we won't need them until then... GA is a L...

Listening to recap of first TD by Kesling. 'quick strike offense, TD to Javontez Spraggin...no...Javonta Payton.' 🤦🏼‍♂️

I listen to every game (live or tv) via radio - def makes mistakes, but still better than crap spewed by network guys. Kesling's biggest fault imo is lack of excitement for Vols - big plays for either team he shows some excitement but obviously, he's no John Ward (I'll also add that John Ward was making plenty of mistakes similar to what you mentioned above the last few years of his career & neither Tim Priest nor Pat Ryan are as bad as Bill "well, there again" Anderson.

I argued for him to have an opportunity. Didn’t buy that Heupel had a set TYPE. I concur that’s wrong. It’s obvious with who’s playing and who’s being recruited for the position. I don’t sense any duplicity and ditto on your last two sentences.

Could be the situation playing a part, OL will always take the longest to get right.
Mobility may be a must for a few seasons.

Gobbledygook. There’s nothing stopping him from “communicating”. Wouldn’t be shocked if his new school is already locked in. He’s got umpteen options and the favorite’s down the street from his house.

The team he's communicating with would be breaking NCAA rules, which I'm sure is happening. If I'm a coach and a player has indicating he's leaving, I don't allow him around the program. That's me though.

Tennessee has done a good job all year or limiting the BIG plays and I think that will continue. Even Bama didn't get loose for any super long touchdowns.

That's true, and I think that's part of the reason why Corral and Young had so many opportunities to run. Our coaches were probably willing to take their chances making the QB run more than possibly getting beat over the top. Against Ole Miss and Alabama, you pick your poison. The strategy worked as well as possible with plenty of chances for the offense against Ole Miss and the offense still had chances to keep pace with Alabama until late in the game.

Against Kentucky, I think they can afford to take a few more chances on defense to limit the QB from running.

Man, I really think we’ve got some good coaches in football, basketball, and baseball. I like that they at least seem to be supportive of each other. Danny White needs to harness this synergy!

Yup. Need to get women's basketball back to the top as well. Not a fan of Kellie, she screams meh.

Interesting my bama buddies not talking the normal smack this week. I think they know they were in a fight and know that when we have our stable full, we will be more than trouble for the tide.

Most in my orbit are already thinking about Saban's retirement and how they better enjoy these last few years while they can because they know the misery of out-sized fan expectations, significant coaching turnover and the wreckage all that does on your roster is headed straight from Knoxville to Tuscaloosa in a few short years...
