    GIVE HIM SIX! – VANDERBILT EDITION

    Disgusting. I said following the Auburn game that if Tennessee lost to Vanderbilt for the second year in a row, it would be disgusting. Well, it was. It was every bit as horrible as I imagined, if not a little worse. I’m gonna spare you guys the preamble this week, and I’m reserving comment on…

    Butch Jones to appear at Beat Vandy Bonfire

    The SGA Traditions Committee is hosting a “Beat Vandy Bonfire,” where coach Butch Jones is scheduled to make an appearance.

  • Players like the gray. It’s that simple

    Players like the gray. It’s that simple

    I find it very interesting, and telling, that the seniors voted to wear the Smokey gray jerseys this Saturday against Vanderbilt. Even more eyebrow-raising to me is the fact that the vote was unanimous. That’s right, every single one of the 28 seniors voted to wear gray($) instead of the traditional orange. So while fans…

    GIVE…HIM…SIX – Auburn Edition

    Tennessee (4-6, 1-5) returned home Saturday to face the (somewhat) surprising Auburn Tigers (9-1, 5-1). However despite playing in the friendly confines of Neyland Stadium, it was the Vols, not the Tigers, left licking their wounds after a 55-23 trouncing. Despite a somewhat inauspicious start — just six points, and one turnover in the first…

    GIVE…HIM…SIX – Missouri Edition

    This past Saturday, Tennessee traveled to Columbia to play its first game ever in the Show-Me State against the No. 9 ranked Missouri Tigers. By the time the game ended, Tennessee had seen enough. Missouri throttled Tennessee 31-3, beating the Vols in pretty convincing fashion. Mizzou redshirt-freshman QB Maty Mauk, standing in for the injured…
