Talking points: restless in Redmond edition
I am waaaay up here in Seattle to take part in a focus group for the Sports Channel on Microsoft's Windows Media Center. Does anyone else think it odd that I have to go east to Charlotte from the Tri Cities to get to Seattle? I'm still trying to convince my body clock that it's perfectly fine that...
Talking points: CRUNKOVER edition
Tennessee Talking Points was scrapped yesterday due to CRUNK. In honor of Crunkday, I am blogging shirtless this morning. By the way, for all of you bloggers of other teams telling us we should be embarrassed, I direct you to Ooltewah defensive end Jacques Smith, who has this to say: I was at...
Talking points: and the Bulldog shall lay down with the Tiger
Tennessee The Lady Vols almost overcame a 15-point halftime deficit last night but fell short, losing to LSU 61-63. Hooper, Graysnail, and wvvol have the game thread. Nick Montana would like to commit to a school soon so that he can focus on his senior season, and he would like to add an offer...
Talking points: apologies for the irony, Scotty
Here's an oddity: Tennessee plays Mississippi State tonight in basketball. Scotty Hopson originally committed to Mississippi State but signed with Tennessee. Why? Because he liked the Vols' style of play. The irony, courtesy of this Bruce Pearl comment: "Watching Mississippi State now is like...
Talking points: woo for hardwood logjams edition
Tennessee The name of the game now for the basketball Vols, if they want to go dancing in March, is to climb its way as far as possible to the top of the totem pole in the SEC. The Vols can, with a win tonight against Georgia, get into a four-way tie in the SEC East with games remaining against...

From the RTT Archives: February 8
2008: Everyone was analyzing the recent recruiting class, Hooper was out-geeking everyone with charts and stuff, and I was theorizing that rbk from The BruceBall Blog was actually our very own gramsey712. 2007: We were marveling at another Top 5 Recruiting Class for Phillip Fulmer. 2006: The...
Talking points: national signing day drama and more edition
There is no way that I get to all of the news this morning, so we just have an abbreviated version of the Talking Points: Lotso drama for National Signing Day. The best news of the day was WR Nu'Keese Richardson blowing off Florida for Tennessee. The worst news of the day was Memphis WR Marlon...
Talking points: Total number of commitments after big weekend? Um . . .
Tennessee Huge, HUGE recruiting weekend for the Vols. The news? Not really huge. Or even large or medium- or regular-sized. In fact, few things changed and those that have are not really good news. Marlon Brown? Still undecided and will choose at a National Signing Day press conference between...
Talking points: recruiting, nicknames, and attitude edition
Tennessee GVX has the latest iteration of the ever-morphing weekend visitor list. Not visiting? Nu'Keese Richardson. Visiting instead? Kendall Kelly. Not coming to Tennessee at all? Quinton Washington. Earlier this week, Tennessee got a commitment from Mike Edwards out of Ohio. Now, Edwards'...
