I was blessed to be chosen to represent the Bleacher Report at the Chick-Fil-A Bowl in Atlanta on New Year's Eve. It was a tremendous experience and one that I hope to duplicate many times in the future. As I sat in the press box, observing the game, making notes, and collecting my ...Published on: 1st January, 2010
Surprise, surprise. Call it an obvious move. Call it the worst kept secret in Knoxville. Call it whatever you want. But next year you can call Tennessee safety Eric Berry an NFL Rookie. I cant recall when I knew this was a forgone conclusion. Maybe it was the awards ceremony in Orlando when he said he'd miss the fans. ...Published on: 29th December, 2009
To hear Lane Kiffin tell it, the Tennessee Volunteers are about to play their first BCS Bowl game since the 1999 season. The Vols' first year coach has been saying it for two weeks. Although that is not factually correct, I can definitely see his point. This game is at a ...Published on: 27th December, 2009
Nice one, Urban. Way to get the entire SEC and the nation for that matter on your side. You release a lie that talks about resigning for your health, family, and faith, and the next day you renege. We should have seen this coming. I mean, you are losing the greatest ...Published on: 26th December, 2009
Remember that kid that was always bragging on the playground? The one whose hair was always fixed perfectly and seemed to have every girl's attention? The problem with the kid wasn't necessarily his attitude either. It was that he almost always seemed to back it up. No matter how much you hated ...Published on: 22nd December, 2009
It didn't match the 90's--not even close. There were no championships, no Heisman finalists, and zero No.1-rankings. No one named Peyton ran the offense and there wasn't even a BCS bowl-berth. This decade, however, was not a total loss. Sure, there was a coaching change, two under .500 seasons, and ...Published on: 17th December, 2009
In the two weeks following the final game of the season against Kentucky there wasn't much positive news surrounding Tennessee football. The Vols lost two great assistant coaches and tremendous recruiters, Frank Wilson and Eddie Gran. Not long after those announcements, came the New York Times report about alleged improprieties in ...Published on: 14th December, 2009
It's only been a little over two weeks since we last saw the Big Orange clad Volunteers take the field and already I'm having withdrawal. Truth is, all the negativity, which I knowingly fed into with two stories about Lane Kiffin, is getting to me. I'm simply sick and tired of writing ...Published on: 12th December, 2009
Raise your hand if you are tired of hearing the daily reports of Tennessee's recruiting practices being looked into. After a rocky week of investigation into members of Orange Pride illegally attending potential recruits' games, now we have the SEC looking into other potential problems. According to the Knoxville News Sentinel , the ...Published on: 9th December, 2009
I will not sit here and write baseless lies as some writers and bloggers tend to do. I do not know all the facts about "Hostess-gate" and will not pretend to know. The fact is no one, besides the NCAA and the University of Tennessee, knows all the details of the ...
