It’s never the first thing I share on here, but Dr Joe is my grandfather.
Without him, I’m probably not at UT getting the opportunity to cover Tennessee football.
I know he cared a lot for this place…
The Volunteer community mourns the loss of Dr. Joe Johnson, a true university icon. He was known and beloved by students, staff, faculty, and alumni for sharing a deep camaraderie with everyone he met, and he will be remembered fondly.
Kentucky has given up over 100 points at Rupp Arena three times in its history:
-116 to Southwest Louisiana in 1989
-111 to VMI in 2008
-103 to Tennessee in 2024
James Pearce will get more love than him because of the pick six.
But I couldn’t stop thinking about how much Tyre West looked like Reggie White out there today.

This is right there with Drew Gilbert’s grand slam to beat Wright State in 2021 in terms of iconic moments in Tennessee baseball history.
Officially an alum of the school I was born to attend.
Big thanks to everybody that made the last four years a blast.
Excited for the road ahead with

Since a heavy snow storm is headed to Knoxville, here’s this gem.
The infamous Neyland Snowball Fight.
Insane to think a decade has passed since this picture was taken.
My first semester at UT was fall of 2020, and I graduated this spring.
In that frame, there have been athletes that have etched themselves in the lore of Tennessee athletics.
This is a chronological thread of the best to walk campus in the last four years ⬇️
Tennessee is 28-11 all time against South Carolina.
3 of South Carolina’s 11 wins against Tennessee are in Neyland.
The 3 seasons the Gamecocks won in Neyland: 2005, 2011, 2017.

Tennessee has now played in three of the last four College World Series.
Tony Vitello has completely changed the narrative of the Tennessee baseball program.
I don’t know if it’s something about being back in Norman but the version of Josh Heupel we’re seeing tonight is very conservative.
Not a side of him we see often.

assistant coach Kim English just knocked off current No. 8 Creighton in the Big East tournament.
His Providence Friars were on the bubble but that could be a needle mover.
What I learned from
@SEC
hoops today:
-Florida and a zone don’t mesh
-Mississippi State can still struggle on offense
-Kentucky still can’t play defense
-Tennessee is the best team in the conference
