Following his Tennessee visit:

Keep up with notes, news and game updates in this thread and on Twitter @TennesseeRivals. Also remember to check out all of our pregame content this week at VolReport.com to get you primed for kickoff.

Anyone have an idea or opinion what the game time will be for this game?
Son has a basketball tournament that day and trying to make a plan.

Just filed this story from a half-empty Neyland Stadium press box.

How the smell of cigar smoke at Bryant-Denny Stadium a year played a part in Jalin Hyatt’s off-season motivation:

I’m not one who sits around and blast the TV commentators because they might seem to root for one team over the other.

Gary Danielson is the very best in the business as a color commentator because he sees things developing and is able to point them out ahead of time.

I’m not saying that he was openly rooting for Alabama yesterday but his comments and reactions where is though he was surprised that Tennessee was able to make the plays to beat Alabama. There were times he seemed to be totally surprised that the officials did not call the game in favor of Alabama.

After the game Brad Nessler I thought did a very good job of allowing fans to soak in the moment and made some great comments about Tennessee but Danielson was almost quiet.

The CBS 2:39 time slot had been a bad omen for the past 17 years, prior to this season. I used to cringe when it was announced that we were playing the CBS primetime game. That 2 ton gorilla is off of our back.

wait until the TV viewership numbers come out. This may be one of the most viewed regular season games in CBS history. Everybody around the country was watching this game.

I'm hoping for just hangovers

VENICE, Fla. - A rising 2025 receiver from Florida, Ryan Matulevich is a leader on the field for Venice High School’s offense. Matulevich leads the Indians in receptions (17), yards (212), and touchdowns (2) through four games played this season. Of the four offers handed to Matulevich so far, one is from the Volunteers.

Matulevich spoke about his rapport with Tennessee’s coaching staff.

“Right now, our relationship is pretty good,” Matulevich said. “We can’t message much right now because I am Class of 2025, but when I was up there, they showed a lot of love. It was a really good experience.”

Venice High School closed the 2021 season as 8A Florida state champs. Once the 2022 season ends, Matulevich shared he plans to visit Tennessee after his squad makes their run through the playoffs.

Maybe we could have atleast turned it back into an 11 point game.

If you are still over here.. Congrats!
You have to be proud! Heck of a game by your son!!! Legend status!

Pass interference when the offense yanks the defense. **** this.

Four 50 yard line tickets to UGA -UT game on Nov 5th in Athens, GA

these tickets are not around the fifty, but the fifty yard line, if extended up into the stands, runs through these seats. High enough in lower level to get a great perspective of the game.

$1,500 each; sold as a group of four.

serious inquiries only please. Thanks.

it finally happened!

The orange helmets would’ve been too close to Alabama’s red helmets and Bryce Young played one hell of a game today

Why not?

I have been to many Tennessee Alabama games through victory and defeat. Today's game will always be with me and one of the greatest games I have seen. The one thing stands out is how cool our coach is under pressure. For the first time in a long time, I believe that Tennessee can compete with anyone. They had several chances to fold in this game, but they didn't. This game was the greatest quarterback duel since the OK corral. MY hat goes off to the Alabama quarterback, unbelievable skill as a runner and passer. I figured when we lost the fumble the game was over, but our unbelievable quarterback marched us right down the field. Hats off for a great win.

All we heard last week was we don’t have a pass rush .

Where are all of the people who criticized our pass rush last week ?

Our defensive front camped out in the Pitt backfield tonight.

It was early and I meant to post but IVE JUST BEEN TOO DAMN ANXIOUS. lol

Why the F not put the kid in?
