Dave’s Dish: Roll Tide!!!

Dave’s Dish: Roll Tide!!!

So Tennessee fans, who ya got?   Let’s face it, most UT fans would rather root for Satan than see one of their rivals, Alabama or Georgia, win a national title, which will happen Monday evening.   Frankly, there’s only one correct choice. Grab the houndstooth cap and pull for Crimson Tide. Ouch, that just…MORE

Dave’s Dish: Whose to blame for Kahlil not becoming a star?

Dave’s Dish: Whose to blame for Kahlil not becoming a star?

Kahlil McKenzie’s decision to forgo his final season of eligibility and enter the NFL Draft is curious to say the least. It’s further proof that former UT coach Butch Jones got minimal production out of his top star prospects.   McKenzie was a “must have” in recruiting. He was one the highest-rated prospects in the…MORE

Dave’s Dish: How to grade Jeremy Pruitt’s first real test as a Vol

Let’s face it. No one really knows how to grade most college football programs solely on the inaugural signing period on Wednesday.   Sure, there’s the obvious. Georgia was phenomenal. Alabama was surprisingly just solid. Then, there’s Arkansas. Well, they still have plenty of work to do.   So where do you place Tennessee in…MORE

Did you miss that pink sky?

Did you miss that pink sky?

On Monday, there was a proliferation of “pink sky” shots sent in by listeners.  Followed by obligatory, condescending “explanation of phenomenon” by meteorologists.  Best example I’ve ever seen…lasted 5 mins, or so at Henson’s Gap/Lewis Chapel Mtn., overlooking Dunlap, Tn.  Launch ramp of “Tennessee TreeToppers” hanggliding club.  MORE

SportTalk: Tennessee Buzzwords

SportTalk: Tennessee Buzzwords

It’s easy to make fun of some of the buzzwords that come out of Tennessee’s football program. It’s just sad to see how the program is actually being handled. The latter came to fruition once again as the Vols launched the second phase of their lackluster season: The Great Quarterback Competition of 2017. Harp on…MORE

SportTalk: Sorry, Ethan Wolf.

SportTalk: Sorry, Ethan Wolf.

I want to believe Ethan Wolf. I really do. But I just can’t.“We’ve never had any type of conflict in the locker room in the past and we don’t now,” the Tennessee senior tight end said, according to GoVols247.com. “Everybody’s on the same page, high spirits.”Sorry Ethan, I tried. But I just can’t buy it. In…MORE

SportTalk: So who ya gonna get, UT?

So who ya gonna get? That’s the most common question detractors of Butch Jones face when they say it’s time to replace the fifth-year Tennessee coach. The question of Jones’ replacement is a reasonable concern if the Vols decide to make a change. Things didn’t go well the last time UT had to find a…MORE

SportTalk: Vols, let’s face it. It’s over.

SportTalk: Vols, let’s face it. It’s over.

Let’s face it. It’s over.Barring a miracle comeback, Butch Jones will not be retained as Tennessee’s head coach next season. I’m not debating the merits of Jones or whether he should be fired. I’m just pointing out the obvious.The past three games under Jones have been woefully embarrassing. That stretch was punctuated by the Vols’ 41-0…MORE
