Hard not to see that energy and the overall aurora around the University of Tennessee has changed in the last couple of years.
This. This is just an example.
If you do nothing today, watch Tennessee Point Guard Zakai Ziegler and his family move into their home in Knoxville, Tennessee.
This family has been through a lot, and it is so awesome to see VolNation do just a little bit to help out.
Just an awesome story all the way around.
So hear me out…
12-1 TCU Team (no Top 10 wins)
11-1 OSU Team ( no top 10 wins)
11-2 USC team (no top 10 wins)
10-2 Alabama team (no top 10 wins)
10-2 Tennessee team ( 2 top 10 wins)
Tell me again why it is so far fetched that we are out of it?????
Seriously, someone tell me.
It’s not talked about enough, and it can’t be overstated.
Tennessee Football finished 11-2 and in the top 6.
Tennessee Baseball is starting the year at
#2
in the country.
Tennessee Men’s Basketball is a top 5 team.
Tennessee Women’s Basketball is 8-0 in SEC Play.
INSANE
Vol Baseball top ten nationally
Vol Basketball top ten nationally
Vol football on the rise
Lady Vol Basketball returning to form
Softball, track, and tennis all doing well
Decade of the Vols baby 🍊
Bob Kesl.. I mean Alabama’s radio call is music to my ears 🤣
Credit to their crew though, that is exactly the type of tone I’d want from my hometown radio station.

Tennessee (2022)
52-49 (UT wins)
Call it recency bias. This game is the first time I’ve seen Tennessee compete at this level and win. I remember every detail from that night and will for the rest of my life. Go damn Vols.
ESPN defending Burton’s actions while simanetously showing replays of Omari Thomas’s hit on Bryce Young was not on my bingo card.
ESPN doing a fabulous job!
In 2022…
Tennessee Basketball wins the 1st SEC Tournament title since 1978
Tennessee Baseball wins the SEC Regular Season Title, and SEC Tournament Title
Tennessee Football wins 11 games, and the Orange Bowl
Impossible to imagine a much better year in 2022. Thankful.
Random Monday stat:
Tennessee has won 16 of their last 19 football games.
16-3 since the start of the 2022 Football season with wins against Florida, LSU, Alabama, Clemson, and Texas A&M.
Josh Heupel is still very much underrated.

ICYMI: Freddie Dillone, a guard from North Carolina is enrolling early to the University of Tennessee. Expected to arrive very soon.
Dillone is a top 25 player in the ‘23 basketball class, and can flat out score the ball. Off the dribble, from long range, and around the basket.
Joshua Dobbs gets benched for throwing for 1569 yards 8 TDs while running for 258 yards with 3 TDs on the ground?
What the hell Arizona? Is he getting traded?
I got to say, if the Tennessee-Purdue game had this Final Four Crew calling that Elite 8 Game Tennessee may have won by 10+.
NC State just hasn’t been able to throw it in the ocean.
Maybe I’m wrong, I don’t think I am.
Hendon Hooker is going to prove a lot of teams wrong. Outside of Bryce Young, Hooker will be better than Stroud, AR, and Levis.
He’s a winner. That’s something that won’t show up in a combine or film.
He’s a ball player. Wherever he goes, he will be a good QB for them.
Recruits to keep an eye on..
5 ⭐️ DE Elijah Rushing
5 ⭐️ WR Mike Matthews
4 ⭐️ RB Braylen Russell
4 ⭐️ OL William Satterwhite
4 ⭐️ CB Cai Bates
4 ⭐️ LB Edwin Spillman
This ‘24 class can end up being LOADED
Blind Resume
TEAM A:
10-2
BEST WIN: @ OLE MISS
WORST LOSS: @ LSU
TEAM B:
10-2
BEST WIN: ALABAMA
WORST LOSS: @ SCAR
TEAM B has head to head. Even if a CFP playoff spot isn’t on the line, the sugar bowl is.
TENNESSEE SHOULD BE AHEAD OF ALABAMA!
There is still one more domino to fall for Tony Vitello to complete one of the best transfer portal hauls in the Country.
Maybe Zane Denton can put in a good word 👀
18 months ago, Tennessee was broken. Many said the program was done for, and it would never be relevant again.
Fast forward to today, Heupel has his Volunteers in the top 10, and a 4-0 start in only his second year.
Many will act like it isn’t a big deal. No, it’s a miracle.
Grant Williams signs a huge contract in free agency with the Mavericks…. then gets the entire Tennessee Basketball team a gift for their Italy Trip.
Not a better Ambassador for the Program.
Opposing fanbases can cry about how we didn’t get punished enough by the NCAA.
I sat through Dooley, Butch, and Pruitt coached teams my entire life. That is punishment enough.
You opposing fans could not even fathom watching JG for 4 years. We are not lucky… we are survivors
FLASHBACK: My all time favorite game believe it or not. Rick Barnes leads his pack of underdog dawgs to a 21 point comeback win against Kentucky at the hands of Kevin Punter Jr., Armani Moore, Detrick Mostella, and Admiral Schofield.
This moment was the chefs kiss.
With the 2023 being the last year of the SEC on CBS contract, I have made a list of the Top Ten Tennessee SEC games on CBS since 1996.

Tennessee puts themselves in the drivers seat for a chance at the National Championship game. What a win on the road and on the last week of the season.
BREAKING:
4 ⭐️ DB Cristian Conyer has committed to the Vols over the Cats as he joins the ‘23 Class.
Good get for CJH as once again Tennessee is starting to stack some commits in this summer period.
I expect MAJOR news tomorrow from a certain 5 ⭐️ offensive tackle 👀
Between this and Tony Vitello sitting court side wearing a Uros jersey is there another University that has the same sense of community as Tennessee right now??? It’s awesome
After careful thought and consideration I am giving my endorsement to Molly Miller of Grand Canyon University to be the next Lady Vols basketball Head Coach.
253-47 career record
This Woman can flat out coach the game of basketball! That’s all I need to say!
BREAKING: 4 ⭐️ In state LineBacker Arian Carter commits to Tennessee over Alabama & Ohio State.
Tennessee puts on the full court press, and fights off Bama for the talented player.
BOOM.
BREAKING: 4 ⭐️ Highly Touted Louisiana Cornerback Jordan Matthews has picked Tennessee over the likes of Michigan and Texas in a MASSIVE upset.
HUGE GET as the Heup Train continues to CHUG ALONG!!

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion including Greg McElroy.
Yet he criticized how a coach celebrated winning the 1st title in program history.
Tony V. is one of one, he didn’t hurt nobody, harass nobody, or celebrate inappropriately.
Why hate? Why do we do this?
In 2017, a young Tennessee team led by Robert Hubbs III knocked off a loaded Kentucky team to put themselves back on the bubble.
Along with Hubbs was the young core of Grant Williams, Admiral Schofield, Jordan Bone, Jordan Bowden, Lamonte Turner, and Kyle Alexander.

The mini streak by the gators is over. Tennessee breaks through and all hell breaks loose in Knoxville. What a game that I wish I could’ve witnessed live.
Nice to see some former Vols light it up in the Summer league this year.
Keon Johnson, Jaden Springer, Kennedy Chandler, and Jordan Bone all getting their run thus far.

John WAFFLE HOUSE Campbell Jr. is returning for a 5th year!
Big boost for the offense line with Cooper Mays, possibly Spraggins, and Campbell returning to the line!
LETS GOOOOO
Jaden Springer made history as the YOUNGEST player ever to win G-League Finals MVP averaging 32 PPG on 60% shooting from 3 point land.
Turns around and starts for the Sixers last night.
Drops 19 points.
Future Star.
It would be real awesome if Missouri somehow tripped up UGA then Tennessee was able to get Mizzou a week later setting up a UGA v UT game for a chance to get to Atlanta.
Would be real cool.
