Tennessee Tweets-Week 3 Vols, Florida, and Torn ACL

Wow.  One week ago.  We were all riding high on the wave of swagger and the promise of the upswing starting with an upset.  Let's start the show shall we?

No throat slash necessary.

Yes, yes it was.  We got some national love...Being picked as the upset.

Even Eternal Buckeye Herbstreit picked us:

Some Twitter smack talkin from Elam of Florida and our own Da'Rick Rogers:

15 SepGrowing up playing ball I learned that the ones who talk the Most trash are the ones that are really frightened in the inside! Lol

 

darickrogers Darick Rogers  "@Dopest_Hitter22: No disrespect to Montana & Cincinnati but you really don't have any!" Tweets of a terrified DB. 15 Sep

 

And it's on.  

Anthony Anderson makes it two weeks in a row with his random tweets.  Cookie connoisseur now animal afficienado   

 

Ant_Anderson36 DOUBLE A  We have a new edition to our #Volfamily our new pet hawk which flyswatter around our in door complex. His name is Napoleon Oscar :-) 16 Sep 

 

 

Ant_Anderson36 DOUBLE A  Alert the hawk is just flying in our information sports complex lol

 

 

No immediate response was given if this was the cousin of Spirit, Auburn's beloved, who had his own run-in this week. Details of the fly-in are here.  Spirit is fine, btw. 

And I did a little giddy dance when I read this one:

 

Vols_Beat Austin Ward  Dooley's orange pants have made the trip. They're here to stay. 17 Sep

 

God, I love those pants.

After this it goes downhill...

 

Vols_Beat Austin Ward  Big third-down throw from Bray to Hunter, but it looks like it might have come with price. Hunter down holding knee -- now walking off. 17 Sep

 

Up until an hour ago, we didn't have an official answer, but most of our hearts knew:

 

Vol_Football Tennessee Football  #Vols WR Justin Hunter Suffers Torn ACL In Left Knee - utsports.com/sports/m-footb… via@Vol_Sports 1 hour ago

 

First tweets from Justin Hunter last night.

j_hunt11 A Kid Named Scott  nothin gonna hold me down 20 hours ago

 

We are all hoping for a speedy and full recovery for Mr. Hunter.  Our thoughts are with you.   

The game made even just taking the snap a ridiculous task.

 

PeytonsHead Peyton's Head  #Vols TD, after another bad snap. Tyler Bray may be the first college football player to win a Golden Glove award. 17 Sep

As we will learn what life is like without Justin Hunter on the field each Saturday this fall, there is another season approaching the horizon:  the first year of Cuonzo Martin era  Year Zero of Cuonzo Martin's BasketVols.

Cuonzo getting some love:

 

Josh_Ward Josh Ward  RT @LangWiseman: We got a steal with Cuonzo. Every time I see & talk with him I think how fortunate we are to have him at Tennessee. 12 Sep 

 

Much to Swiperboy's delight, the legendary Rev Run of RunDMC made a little trip to Knoxville.

And file this one under awkward town population 2:

 

TJonesLive Tony Jones    Wow what a awkward moment just saw UT Chancellor Jimmy Cheek at barber shop. LOL. Funny! 13 Sep

 

Remember TJones is always live and keeping it real.

  Moving into the bye week, let's try not to what-if.
