  • Jarvis Giles

    Jarvis Giles Commitment. Jarvis Giles, 4-star all purpose back from Gaither, Florida, announced in a press conference earlier today that he plans to enroll at South Carolina in January. Giles initially committed to Tennessee and was very close to Tennessee assistant Stan Drayton. It was believed by many that Giles would end up in Knoxville…

  • The Rearview 12-8

    No basketball.  No more coaching rumors, well, head coaching rumors that is.  Heck, there were only a handful of games on this weekend. It’s that time of year……. It’s all but over.  We’re now to the time of year where the teams left out of the BCS whine.  And the teams that haven’t been bowling…

  • Monday Tennessee Vols Recruiting Update

    The recruiting rumors are flying fast and furious. Here’s the latest: Quinton Washington (4-star OG) and Alshon Jeffrey (4-star WR) are generating some buzz on the boards. Washington received a visit from Tennessee coaches last week while Jeffrey appears to be set to visit Tennessee in January. Kiffin visited with North Atlanta quarterback Jamal Londry-Jackson…

  • Tennessee Recruiting Update 12/5

    Here are a few additions to Wednesday’s post. Jarvis Giles is all set to announce his college choice on Tuesday. He will decide between Tennessee, Nebraska and South Carolina. It could get interesting because Giles has “heard” Stan Drayton might remain on Tennessee’s staff. If Kiffin keeps Drayton, he likely gets Giles. Jonahan Hollins talked…

  • Ed Orgeron to Tennessee?

    Coach O is coming! Coach O is coming! I admit, I have not been willing to believe any of the “Ed Orgeron to Tennessee” rumors. It just doesn’t make much sense to leave the NFL to take a similar position in college. Clearly that would be a step down. But after listening to Chris Low…

  • Tennessee 87 UNC Asheville 69

    Tyler Smith had Tennessee’s first ever triple-double (12 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists) and Bruce Pearl notched his 400th career win as Tennessee cruised past UNC Asheville 87-69 in Thompson Boling Arena on Wednesday night. The Vols were slow out of the gate and never were able to fire on all cylinders. Missed shots and…

  • Tajh Boyd no longer committed to Tennessee

    It’s being reported by Rivals and local talk radio that Tennessee quarterback commit Tajh Boyd is no longer headed to Knoxville. Indications are that Coach Kiffin informed Boyd he did not fit the system Tennessee is implementing next season. Rivals rates Boyd 4-stars and has him lists as the #3 dual threat quarterback in that…

  • Tennessee Recruiting Roundup

    This is not an all inclusive list by any stretch, but here is a roundup of a few Vol recruits of interest. As we learned from Monday’s press conference, Marlon Brown got Kiffin’s first visit. Brown “feels better” about Tennessee after the visit and thinks Kiffin is “cool”. D.J. Hunter met with Jason Michael and…

  • Gutiar Shots to the Head: A New Era

    Watching the presser yesterday, I couldn’t help but smile. In the last few years UT fans have witnessed euphoria in Tuscaloosa and Gainesville as Florida and Bama brought in program changing coaches. In each case new life was breathed into their respective football programs. In the meantime Vol fans were stuck watching Phil Fulmer continue…

  • Lane Kiffin, Lane Kiffin, Lane Kiffin

    We should have a VolNation contest to count the number of threads started on the forums yesterday regarding Lane Kiffin – including the hundreds that were merged by our moderators. The number is probably in the quadrillions. If that’s not proof enough that Tennessee fans have “Kiffin fever”, VolNation members are discussing printing their own…
