Tennessee dominates the second half.

My recap: https://Tennessee.rivals.com/news/v...lf-to-rout-butler-in-battle-4-atlantis-opener

Feels like when when WVU hung 70 on Clemson in a bowl game and they went out and got Venables and started dropping big money on defensive talent. It will be much easier for CJH to land a top tier DC now than when he was first hired and he has little credibility on this level.

This was so bad that we need to make a big move.

I’ve got 4 together in Sec V row 43.
$90 each which is what I paid from UT. These are electronic and will be sent upon Venmo or PayPal payment.

Selling two sets of four together for UT at Vandy.

4 in Section A $200 each. These are digital and can easily be transferred electronically.

Call or text 615-473-3050.

Man I would love to see Jerod Mayo come home and be the DC, but I wonder what it would take and if he would be interested.

I have a pair of tickets for the UT game in Nashville against Vandy Saturday night in the UT section, only 31 rows up from the field, so great view. I'm in Knoxville & can meet you here thru this afternoon, or can transfer to them to you electronically upon your payment to me by Venmo.

Text me to 865-745-9500 if you want them. $200 for the pair or best offer! I'm a longtime UT donor & you are assured of getting these immediately. All I need is your name & email address & cell # to transfer them.

Sold

Live in Clarksville and could meet and pay cash or willing anyway that reputable..Thanks

From @jacobpolacheck:

Should have won today. Refs call a walk in final seconds that did not happen. Our guard took a steps befor she touched the ball. Als call an intentional foul on one of our girls that was fighting for a rebound. They were pulling at the ball and our girl hit the other team member in the head with her elbow. It was in a touch of war for the ball. It was not at all intestinal. Kelley should have called time out and advanced the ball to front court. She had 3 timeouts remaining. She did not and they turned the ball over in an attempt to get the ball in in back court. That cost us the game. Key is not playing good at all.

Any truth to the rumors floating around about the reason Banks was left in Knoxville?

Ran across this and thought it was good....

My favorite Bearism is he would drive across the south looking for linemen. He would look for boys plowing a field with a mule and plow. When he saw one he would stop and ask which way is town, if he pointed with his hand he would drive on. When he asked and the boy would point with the plow he would sign him up.

Is this all he's got is the heater?

Does he have any touch if needed?

Not sure that can beat Vandy esp if he doesn't throw the ball as the play is designed

Big game for him to show he's improved

From @Noah-Taylor:

Know the foe: I caught up with VandySports.com – the Vanderbilt site in the Rivals Network – to get some insight into the Commodores ahead of Tennessee's matchup on Saturday.

What has changed for Clark Lea's team as of late? Is there a new culture?
