Neyland Stadium Renovation Photographs
A couple of days ago, the replacement of the JumboTron was discussed in a Talking Points post, and there was at least one point of interest in seeing how things were going with the renovations. So, without unnecessary lead-in, here are some snapshots to give you out-of-towners an idea of how...
Rocky Top Tennessee: 128 pages of ad-free Tennessee Volunteer football content
Now that everything's been submitted and the pre-order page is (kind of) ready, I can announce what's been causing me to do almost nothing more than Talking Points for RTT for three months: I've been serving as Editor for Rocky Top Tennessee, a publication by Maple Street Press that will be on the...
Talking points: Big Orange Big Boy Touchdowns
Going in reverse order today, because . . . NCAA football . . . the link of the week for me (yes, I know it's only Tuesday, but . . . you know) is Holly's Fat Guy Touchdowns. She's right, you know: Fat Guy Touchdowns are "one of the purer joys in college football." But Holly, how can you...
Talking points: you go fight some mo!
Tennessee football The Number of the Day is 11. Somebody must have sent out a memo or something because every major online news outlet has a story on the fact that 11 players have left the program since Lane Kiffin took over. The last four out were Tyler Maples, Ahmad Paige, B.J. Coleman, and...
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: 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: 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...
From the RTT Archives: January 29
One year ago today: We were comparing the stats between the Vols' and the Crimson Tide's basketball teams and watching the Vols win, 93-86, I was linking to Gate 21's deplorable secret, and Trev Alberts was earning the respect of the blogosphere (video removed; perhaps someone can re-find it?) Two...
Talking points: rivalry is alive and well on the House floor, thank you, edition
Tennessee Recruiting update. DB Darren Myles? Down to three: Tennessee, Alabama, and LSU, he says. On Myles' visit to Tennessee this past weekend, he was met in the hotel lobby by Monte Kiffin who treated him to a lengthy session on the many variations of the Tampa 2 before Myles could even get...
