Did it “need to be fixed” when Tennessee lost 30 just three years ago? Or just because it’s Bama?
Transfer portal needs to be fixed. This situation with Alabama will cause change.
Bama is penalized b/c they made the playoffs and Nick Saban retired afterward. The last team to make a change gets shafted in the portal.
There's simply no players left in the portal to

Joe is a great teammate.
He waited his turn, he loves TN, he has grown, learned, and plays within himself and sometimes plays up to his immense talent.
Despite zero receiver stars, he gets better and better and make plays.
Yet some of you dislike him. I’ll never get it.

“Wide open path to the College Football Playoff,” they said.
“Cakewalk to the Final Four,” they said.
Tennessee is three wins away from Omaha and the teams standing in its way are Charlotte, Penn, Samford and Southern Miss.

I don't understand the angst over the Music City Bowl. Just get a win. When you lose to Georgia State and BYU, you don't get the benefit of the doubt on bowls, nor pick where you want to go. Not particularly worried about it either way. I just want the optics of a W.

No matter how many excuses the national media gives Alabama, Tennessee won that game. So many times, games have been taken away from Tennessee solely on calls [three times last year]. Vols went down and took that game last week.

Good night, Twitter. What an awful, unforgettable day. It all can be taken from you in a second. Jesus Christ is the only way to get to heaven, and I pray you all accept Him. If you pray, pray for my boy. He is not a Christian yet. Hopefully he will acknowledge his need...

I am so excited about Jimmy Holiday. Tennessee needs a QB package for him right away, and he needs to play in the slot, get jet sweeps and be a change up, wrinkle option as a freshman. If Chaney can figure out how to use him, what a weapon. He is special, I think.

Truth: None of us is happy about the sloppiness.
Also truth: Had it not been for a dropped pass and a fumbled PR, it’s likely 35-3 at halftime and Joe would have near 200 passing yards.
