Yep, Dabo said that #NIL

Any baseball people out there: My middle schooler was working on some pitching stuff and I’m wondering if his back leg moving just before he starts his motion is a balk. Some of the balk rules will forever be confusing to me, and they rarely seem black and white.

“I went to Tennessee, and he went to Bama, so no shade. But I remember watching Bryce Young in 2022 when Tennessee beat Bryce Young.” - Former Vols WR Chris Brazzell on new Panthers teammate and former Bama QB Bryce Young

Josh Heupel said he’s expecting Oklahoma fans to be quiet when Tennessee is on offense out of respect 😂

“I’d die to coach in the SEC…I would f—king love it” Coming this fall - Grumors: The NIL edition

Sam Leavitt told Matt Barrie earlier this year that he was hesitant at first to transfer to Arizona State bc of the party school reputation and potential distractions

No need for Ohio State to prepare for new looks from Tennessee per Josh Heupel 😂

This is how the same officiating crew from Tennessee/Georgia handled a late substitution last month in Ole Miss/Oklahoma game. Rebels were forced to call a TO bc the official held the snap to allow Oklahoma to slowly run off the field.

“That’s what the analytics book said. I thought it was stupid, too, quite honestly. But that’s what the analytics book said….that’s a stupid book.” - Mark Stoops on going for 2 while down 22 points in the third quarter against Tennessee 😂

Joshua Josephs was the only Vol going for the ball here. Tennessee probably needs to practice playing through the whistle.

Reporter: “What was the biggest game you had in your college career that can compare to Monday Night Football?” Dont’e Thornton: “Anytime I played against Alabama, when I was at Tennessee”

Josh Heupel ain’t messing around when it comes to Tennessee’s defense

An all timer from Jauan Jennings 😂

The first Mike Keith “sack!!!!!”

Former Tennessee OL Trey Smith is ⁦Patrick Mahomes II⁩ “enforcer” according to Travis Kelce…. “He’s a dog, just a f—ing beast” (🎥: ⁦Bussin' With The Boys⁩)

Tennessee’s new QB?

Ron Slay and Josh Heupel together is pure gold 😂😂😂

Jauan Jennings has the best mindset in the NFL

Princeton Fant is gonna go down as one of the most underrated Vols ever. He did so many things really well. Was able to do whatever was asked of him. And he saw a lot during his time at UT. Tennessee will definitely miss him.

“No, I don’t talk to him” - Chase Burns on Tony Vitello after facing the Giants. Burns played for Vitello at Tennessee in 2022 and 2023 before transferring to Wake Forest (🎥: Cincinnati Reds Daily)

This is wildly ignorant/unprofessional from Fowler and Herbstreit. Pretty common for players to try to stay loose when it’s a little chilly.

I vividly remember that moment with Rick Barnes and Dean Smith, I didn’t miss many ACC games as a kid back then

I’ve never pulled for Notre Dame, but Curt Cignetti has me ready to give my all for the Irish tonight. Bragging about beating Nebraska and Coastal Carolina would be like Josh Heupel talking trash about beating NC State by 40 points

Lane Kiffin coached in his first game in Baton Rouge in 2014 and he dialed up this playcall on the first play of overtime

“I’m literally not throwing the ball hard. It just comes off my hand like that. I was born and blessed that way. So I feel like if you think I’m throwing the ball hard, then you shouldn’t be in the NFL getting paid.” - Joe Milton clearing the air on his rocket arm

LSU comes to Neyland in 2026 for the first time since Brady Hoke decided to start the second half in a monsoon (and a classic Coach O interview)

Jamal Lewis talking about playing with Peyton Manning at Tennessee is a must-listen

College football trash talk is not anything like it used to be in the 90s

Lane Kiffin with some truly all-time great perspective. It’s all about today, not yesterday or tomorrow. Just make it about the choices you make today. And then stack good days.

10 years ago, Bob Stoops fired Josh Heupel as Oklahoma’s OC

For any Auburn fans out there, Alex Golesh talking about falling in love with football after moving to the US from Russia as a kid is great stuff. Mentions watching Michigan/Ohio State and Tennessee/Florida as a kid and falling in love with the sport.

“It was a quote from Pat Summitt. It’s been hanging in my office for nine years and it ain’t going anywhere. That quote is, ‘Here’s how I’m going to beat you. I’m going to outwork you. That’s it. That’s all there is to it.’” - New Vols baseball coach Josh Elander

The feature that College GameDay ran on Josh Heupel back in 2000 (with a cameo from Brent Venables)

Josh Heupel was definitely right about the playoff

“The opponent is nameless, its faceless”

The SEC on CBS intro the last time Tennessee beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa

The moment Josh Heupel told some of his team that Nico was out for the second half

“This is not going to be a close game, Florida will win in a big way” Tennessee beat Florida in the Swamp in 2001 for the first time since 1971, despite everyone picking the Gators to win

Matthew Stafford was introduced to Eric Berry 18 years ago in Athens
