  • 5 Reasons why Eric Berry will touch the ball more against Alabama

    Here are the top five reasons Eric Berry will touch the ball more against Alabama than we’ve seen so far this season.

  • The Rearview 10-20

    It was a perfect day. I’m going to take this opportunity and take a break from the usual retrospective of the game and instead describe what I found to be as good of a day I’ve had as a Tennessee fan that I can remember in quite some time.

    The Vols Fall Again: Well, another big game and another big loss for Tennessee. The frustration has been present for quite some time within much of the Big Orange fan base, and is now showing itself with the players on the field. Tennessee was flagged with personal foul after personal foul in the loss at…

  • Guitar Shots to the Head: The Big Orange Parachute

    Last year the Georgia game temporarily cured what was ailing this team. Despite double digit loses the Cal and Florida the Vols dispensed of the nationally ranked Bulldogs and brought home an SEC East title as a result. As most Vol fans will tell you it also happened to be the most entertaining, gratifying game…

  • The Rearview 10-13

    The Rearview 10-12  Well, 6 games in and we’re 2-4, 0-3.  If you look at the overall SEC standings, what it will show you, is a Tennessee team that is dead last.  12 of 12.  Worst.  Last place.  However you wish to describe it, this Tennessee team is proving a lot of people wrong, and…

  • Dougherty's Diatribe 10-8

    Tennessee Wins: That’s about the only positive statement that can be made following the Vols’ performance last week against Northern Illinois. A pay-per-view audience and a less than full house crowd watched Tennessee struggle to get past a directional school. With a similar performance against Georgia Saturday, Tennessee will not come within four touchdowns of…

    So, you’ve made it through Football 101 and have one of two thoughts: “That was a waste of time; I knew all of that already and got bored and started skimming”, or “That was helpful, and I FINALLY get it!  Now I don’t feel lost any more!” Regardless of what your reaction was, today we…

  • Guitar Shots to the Head: You’ve Been (De)Served

    I’ve been at this blog for a while now. Usually, during the football season (in both good and bad times) the words come relatively easily; especially compared to the challenge of writing a blog during the summer months when all is still speculation. To me this week feels a little like a May day. Nearly…
