20 Losses in 20 Years #1 - Wilted Roses in the Georgia Dome
The most painful loss in the last twenty years - and I would argue in the history of Tennessee Football - marked the end of an era. From 1989-2001, Tennessee went 128-29-3 (.815), won four SEC Championships, played in twelve January 1 bowls, and won the 1998 National Championship. And on December...
20 Losses in 20 Years: 11-15
Continuing our series of The 20 Most Heartbreaking Losses in the Last 20 Years 15. 2005: #5 Alabama 6 - #17 Tennessee 3 (Tuscaloosa) After Alabama didn't lose to Tennessee from 1986-1994, Tennessee won nine of ten against the Tide from 1995-2004. The Third Saturday had been moved back to...
Inexperienced QBs at Tennessee: Feast and Famine
With Nick Stephens leaving the program, the Vols will start a brand new face at quarterback this fall for the first time since 2004, when true freshmen Erik Ainge and Brent Schaeffer split snaps against UNLV. And whether it's Matt Simms or Tyler Bray, Tennessee will go with a guy who's never...
Tennessee Football All-Decade QB: Casey Clausen vs. Erik Ainge
First, an honorable mention to Jonathan Crompton's play over the last two months. Crompton's transformation is a great story, and his numbers for the 2009 season (with 2,565 yards) do give him the 9th best passing total in UT football history. However, four of the eight seasons above Crompton's...
Third Saturday Memories - 2003
Because we love you. And because Casey Clausen says the plaque for the alternates is down in the ladies room. More to come.
Talking Points: why Chase Rettig has only two offers
Tennessee football Clausen on Rettig and Scroggins. Casey Clausen thinks as much of Chase Rettig as any of the other elite QBs he's seen. So why does Rettig only hold offers from Boston College and Tennessee? A difficult junior season in which most of his receivers went down with injuries. His...
The 50 Best Games of the Fulmer Era - #15: The Longest Third Saturday
There is real truth behind the notion that against your biggest rivals, you throw the records out the window and the game takes on a greater significance no matter how things are going for either team. For the Vols, that biggest rival will always be Alabama, and the Third Saturday in October will...
The 50 Best Games of the Fulmer Era - #16: A Six Overtime Heart Attack
(finals are over, binge writing continues, woo!) I sat in the student section at Neyland Stadium from 1999-2002. In that timespan, I saw plenty of heartbreak - Jabar Gaffney's catch/no-catch, Georgia's Hobnailed Boot, Casey Clausen fumbling everything away against Florida in the rain, and...
The 50 Best Games of the Fulmer Era - #25: And you can keep your stupid trophy.
If we were compiling the opposite of this list, trying to find the worst losses of not only Phillip Fulmer's administration, but through all of almost 120 years of Tennessee Football, to me there's only one place that list can end: December 8, 2001 in Atlanta. The Georgia Dome has always been a...
Talking points: Human Resources has rules, too? edition
Tennessee The Lady Vols routed Alabama 80-61 last night. Shekinna Striklen suffered a scary injury, but it appears that it's not as severe as initially believed. The men find themselves in a four-way tie for the SEC East and are therefore in control of their own destiny. Of course, we also have...
