Information on how to aid the victims of the deadly tornado in Oklahoma
2014 early commit Vic Wharton tweeting, "I hope Vol Nation is ready for a fantastic weekend! If you know what I mean :)"
He and Todd Kelly, Jr are recruiting others hard to commit here. Jalen Hurd and now Treyvon Paulk are just a start according to them.
Well, if these recruits are excited..., I guess I should be as well.
Looking forward to hearing from the Bates and Berrys....
Go Vols!
CBJ reeled in another top recruit, Treyvon Paulk. It seems to be snowballing...
Go Vols!!!
If Stokes remains, and he should, Hubbs coming in could be a boost to our recruiting as well. Winning more games would also help. Maymon, Stokes, Hubbs and if McRae stays....
Just saying....
That just sounds too good; I must've missed something somewhere. That can't be right.
Loving Riyahd Jones attitude and maturity.

in response to Giverny: Dear John: Well...in all seriousness, lets begin with something that's not antidotal, a metric, something that can be measured as it apples to the 'box of rocks' comment.... Be objective and truthful....what do you think his IQ is....would you like for me to list the critical elements of what comprises the assessment of the IQ or are you familiar with them... Obviously this is just a guess, a projection if you will but what do you think it is?

Talking metrics then asking for an opinion (albeit an "honest" one) regarding a man's IQ seems a bit wacky.
What exactly is it about Cuonzo Martin that prompts you to question his IQ? How about we start with that..., and please be honest.
2014, the year of the "Legacy" recruits, is looking good.
Wharton, Creamer, Kelly... looking for Bates and the Berrys to keep the momentum building.
With some of these guys helping to recruit Jalen Hurd as well..., this class could really blow it up.
in response to HtownVol: I dont understand this junk. Tennessee stayed in the first four out after beating Mizz.. Yet 2 weeks ago they went from first 4 out to last 4 in after a LOSS to UGA. This junk is nuts. And a W over USCE or MSU will likely only hurt Tennessee so maybe a W over Bama is a must. I think they are in no matter what but in Loe Lunardis mind they dont move at all after beating a top 35 RPI team. 1-SEEDS Duke/EAST Indiana/MIDWEST Gonzaga/WEST Kansas/SOUTH 2-SEEDS Louisville/EAST Georgetown/MIDWEST Miami/SOUTH Ohio State/WEST LAST FOUR BYES Villanova Wichita State Iowa State Temple LAST FOUR IN La Salle Boise State Kentucky Virginia (moves in with win) FIRST FOUR OUT Tennessee (moves down to Virginia's spot) Ole Miss Baylor Southern Miss NEXT THREE OUT Alabama Iowa Arizona State

What is there to understand? It is NCAA Voodoo. 8(
Yeah, I think we should be in period. But we just need to keep winning, regardless. A win over Bama should solidify the obvious. Winning the tournament would make it all academic.
I understand how the victory over Missouri is the biggest thus far for this team and this coach. It is the timing; it is about what is at stake. It is also true that Missouri was probably a more "complete" team than either Florida or Kentucky at the time we played those guys. But historically, how many will remember this win over the stomping of Kentucky or even the streak against Florida?
Yet for this year, at this moment, and in regard to what is at stake right now..., I suppose Missouri is the biggest win. Nonetheless, this victory would simply have been merely too little, too late without the ones before it.
As far as that goes, if we don't win one or two in the SEC Tourney... it may still all be "too little, too late."
But this group has taken me from the depths of despair just 10 or 11 games ago, to believing again. I like their chances now more than I ever have. Between the 4 OT victory on the road at A&M and this comeback against Missouri, these guys have so much more composure in pressure situations, more maturity overall. That should bode well going into this weekend.
Go Vols! Keep Winning!!!
Better highlights here:
http://www.utsports.com/sports/m-bask...
I like what I'm hearing. I expect to like what I see.
Go Vols! This is BOC!!!
They may be free, but they aren't cheap. You cannot afford to miss out on the free ones.
Keep working it, Jarnell.
I see the plague of locusts has returned.
The bitterness still runs deep for some. For better or worse, what's passed is the past. It is time to move forward. Or do you believe there is really only one single, solitary man that can ever bring back the glory days?
Idiot.
Go Vols! This is Big Orange Country!!!
Needed the W over the Tigers, got the W over the Tigers.
Now, let's do it again.
We have such "terrible RBs"...
..., that I think we lead the SEC East in rushing this year.
:) Go Vols! Kick Butt!! #RiseToTheTop
Since it is way too early to make win/loss predictions...
..., I say we win 7 games, go to a bowl and finish with 8 victories.
:D Go Vols!!!
I really don't like being negative...
..., but some of you guys are really warped.
Go Vols! #RiseToTheTop This is Big Orange Country!!!
Always tough this time of year... waiting to see some Tennessee Football.
Well, if we can't beat the teams we're supposed to beat, we don't deserve to go to any tournament.
C'mon coach. A winning streak of six games "bookended" by losses to Georgia?!
Speaking purely as a fan; that is just baffling, frustrating, ridiculous,....
Go Vols! Beat the Tigers!!!
in response to wigmeister: I agree with the poster who is tired of looking at or hearing the race card being continually brought up. I don't care if his skin is yellow, purple, red, gold, or whatever. Just hire an excellent coach that can do the job.

Hiring anyone based on race / color of skin is the very definition of racism.

Let's just hire the best "coach" available for the job.
in response to rtrchatt: Win 5/6 games a yr and the only kids you can "pull" are the ones the big boys recuit as plan D. Makes no difference who is making the pitch. If you are not winning on the field, youare not winning many recruiting battles in Jan/Feb.

We should be in good shape then, because both Gillespie and CBJ are undefeated at Tennessee.
Great win.
Sweet win. Sweet.
Keep 'em rollin! Go Vols!!!
in response to gillblog: I don't think I said anything disparaging or disrespectful at all. To the contrary, I said specifically I admired his desire and vision. I have nothing but respect for what he has accomplished thus far and only wondered (read; "in awe of") at the dedication it will take to pursue his chosen academic path along while playing at the highest levels of college football. His character is inspiring. If those statements constitute 'stupidity' or 'ignorance' in your mind, you are sadly missing the message and must have serious problems understanding the intentions of people around you.

I apologize if I interpreted your statements in a way other than how you meant them. Perhaps I was a bit overbearing in my remarks.
Joshua Dobbs is an impressive young man. That says quite a lot about his parents as well. I think we've got a future star in this young man.
Most of these student-athletes succeed in the classroom on a regular basis. Like most high profile activities, the failures are much more publicized than the successes. It is sad because it feeds the general public's perception of the "dumb jock."
I don't like to hear anything that suggest it is going to be really tough for this person to play in the SEC and succeed in the classroom. The two have nothing to do with each other. Frankly, college is tough for most of us, student-athletes or not. But where it may be tougher for athletes, many of them have access to additional helps.
Frankly, I think being a student-athlete in the SEC should increase their chances for success... both on and off the field.
in response to gillblog: Wow ! is right. HOWever, one has to wonder how this outstanding young man can hope to play SEC football and keep up in the classroom majoring in aeronautical engineering. I mean, those folks actually have to attend class and complete assignments of college level material which is more than can be accomplished by the majority of SEC football players these days. If he is able to make it thru his freshman year without compromising either grades or football then he will most likely be able to make it in both areas. I admire his vision and desire already.

You are either ignorant or stupid.
Strangely, UT added two former Vol offensive linemen to their football staff today, Anthony Parker and Derrick Lett. Parker is an offensive graduate assistant, and Lett is an offensive administrative assistant.
Don't see a connection, but it just seems an odd conincidence. News at 11. :D
I hate stuff that comes at me sideways.
Darn reality.
Awesome game, better victory.
Our Vols have won 5 consecutive games, including 3 straight on the road...
Great job, guys! Go Vols!!!
in response to SevenT: I would not be a bit surprised if Tennessee didn't win another game all season

Sorry we couldn't accommodate you. NOT.
Great, grind it out, 4 OT victory on the road today for the men in ORANGE! Go Vols!!!
This one was very stressful... until about the 2:30 mark of the 4th OT.
A real gutsy performance and a great victory on the road.
GBO!!!
Well, more pow'r to 'em..., especially if they can fill that place.
A tale..., full of sound and fury..., signifying nothing....
Go Vols! Beat the Aggies!!!
Reel'em in and coach'em up!!!

This is Big Orange Country!
Just keep it rolling guys.
Great victory tonight over LSU. Each time Tennessee got a little sloppy and let LSU back in it, McRae would go on a spurt of his own. Another good performance by Trae with 20 points as well.
McRae looking like a star out there tonight with shots from all over the court. 34 points in a career high performance.
Great win over LSU!
Tennessee getting a little sloppy, letting LSU back in it..., then McRae hits another 3 to stop the bleeding.
Crazy.
in response to usnavyvolfan_on_duty: Mcrae is already close to his season high. They really shooting 60+ from the field tonight??

LSU doing pretty good holding their own, though.
Go Vols! Beat the Tiggers!!!
Vols looking good after the first half of the LSU game. No let down following the big win over UK.
Go Vols! Keep it going!!!
Keep 'em rolling, CCM. And thanks for a great Junior Day for the Tennessee program!
GBO!
As for UT, I will admit: I thought they were pretty much toast after the loss to Georgia. And now, quite frankly, I don't know what to think about this squad.
The line up changes have been working and Trae has been playing better overall. Armani Moore has made some key shots, rebounds and steals lately. Edwards made one of the most athletic moves for a bucket coming off the bench. Maybe some of these younger guys are starting to feel their way around this offense. Stokes has just been dominant now for a while. McBee is hitting the three. If they keep that up, they could make some noise in the SEC tournament.
Maybe they should pretend they are playing the Cats in every game here on out.
A real lame excuse being thrown out here: "Kentucky has a bad team this year."
They have a team stocked with McDonald All-American talent, lose one guy in the post, and suddenly they are a bad team. Well, they are young, yes. They may have a malcontent or two, perhaps. But anyone that wants to say a group as talented as the Cats are a bad team.... My heart bleeds for you.
Sore losers. Making excuses. Hypocrites all.
For UT, who hasn't exactly been playing well this year, to get up almost 40 pts on any Calipari group of All-Americans... that is a statement. UT arguably played their best game against a talented UK team that is searching for a compass right now. UK isn't nearly as "bad" a team as UT made them out to be the other night, even w/o Noel. And, if they fall completely apart from here on, it will haven nothing to do with talent and skill- it will be due to egos.
Call it like it is instead of whining. At least many UK fans are admitting that truth.
Now how will the "team" respond?
Lots of football and journalism 'spurts on here today. Boy, I bet you all have CBJ really sweating!
Go Vols! Just win!!!
in response to UK2K: Thanks for the classless win Vols. Up 30 and still playing your starters and full court pressing?? Nice call coach. Enjoy your once in 50 years success against UK. We are down but not out.Your Vols won't shoot 58% the rest of the season. Promise you.

I guess you weren't paying attention. With our starters, we were up 39 points on Kentucky when we started subbing in the bench guys. With the bench players in for UT, Kentucky got it back DOWN to 30 points.
Sab @Sabanocchio2 5* 2014 basketball recruits were at the game also. Cliff Alexander and Jaquan Lyle. Per VQ. Per Ron Swanson on VN
in response to 6futurevols: Were the football recruits that were on campus for Junior Day in attendance at the basketball game? If so, that should be a positive.
