LB Jordan Allen withdrew his name from the transfer portal this week. He’ll be a Vol in 2019.
One person to thank: his mother, Lisa McGee, who said “HELL NO” to him leaving Tennessee.

Sam Pittman and Barry Odom took an Arkansas program in the depths of hell and turned it into a Top-10 program in 658 days.
For that, I have mad respect.
For 21-year-old Andre Edge, it was a night he'll remember forever.

One of my first stories in Knoxville was about a UT fan who painted his driveway to look like the field inside Neyland Stadium.
More than four years later, Donny is still sending me updates on what he's painting orange and white. My heart is full.

The Gatlinburg-Pittman dads painted their faces and dressed out for the region semifinals game tonight. Sitting in the student section, too. Wanted to show love and support for their daughters (loudly).
Good sportsmanship in the Clinton-Seymour game tonight. I know they're small gestures, but opposing players were giving handshakes/fist bumps after particularly tough or good plays, and helping each other up.
Does Tennessee really want to blow it up and start over again?
I understand the criticisms of play-calling/personnel decisions. 100% warranted.
The deck was stacked against UT with its schedule/pandemic this season.
Can’t expect progress to be linear. It hardly ever is.
As the story goes, Mays (avid hunter) brought a deer head into the Catholic locker room before practice this week and showed it to his teammates. Wants to run with it onto the field when Catholic plays in the 5A state title game.
