  • The Daily Dribble: Florida

    Like a communications major (read: me) on a math test, Tennessee had no answer for Florida on Saturday. The Gators broke their three-game losing steak to the Vols in resounding fashion trouncing Tennessee 67-41. Let’s take a look at a couple of stories that developed during the beat down. Offensive Offense/ Florida’s Defense Teams have…

    Season Review: Vols in the NFL

    Tennessee football hasn’t been its usual self lately. But still, the Vols have a significant presence in the NFL. Give or take, about 30 VFLs played on NFL rosters this year, and five of those made it to NFL’s Grand Finale, the Super Bowl, which will be played a week from this Sunday. But before we…

  • The Daily Dribble: Kentucky

    Despite a big day from its bash brothers, Tennessee fell short to Kentucky and its twin brothers by a 74-66 score. Vol bruisers Jarnell Stokes and Jeronne Maymon combined for 32 points and 20 rebounds, but the 40 combined points (27 in the second half) from Kentucky’s Andrew and Aaron Harrison proved too much for…

  • Another Brick in the Wall

    Another Brick in the Wall

    Butch Jones does not procrastinate. Recently, I wrote something about the 2014 class, here, and one of my main points was that Jones and his staff do their work early. Tennessee secured 19 commitments for the 2014 class in the first seven months of the year. The ripple effect allowed the coaches to focus energy…

  • Vanderbilt, or Vanderbroke?

    Vanderbilt, or Vanderbroke?

    Former Vanderbilt Head Coach James Franklin is going home. Franklin accepted the head coaching position at Penn State University late last week, effectively removing the thorn that he’d become from Tennessee’s proverbial side. Franklin takes with him a 2-1 record against the Vols, including back-to-back wins in 2012’s 41-18 beat down and last season’s 14-10…
