phughes+FollowTennessee Vols’ win sparks AP Top 25 debateTennessee Vols fans are buzzing after a big season-opening win over Syracuse, but the national media can’t seem to agree on where the team belongs in the AP Top 25. Despite racking up nearly 500 yards and a highlight 73-yard touchdown, some outlets predict the Vols will barely move up—or even drop a spot! Meanwhile, Alabama, who lost to an unranked team, still sits above Tennessee in most projections. Is this just media bias, or do the rankings need a shake-up? How do you think the Vols should be ranked after this performance? #Sports #Football #TennesseeVols00Share
Jay Williams+FollowTennessee Vols fans fume over ESPN channel switchTennessee Vols fans had every right to be upset when ESPN moved their game against Syracuse to ESPN News and the app mid-game, especially with the app glitching for many. This isn’t the first time Vols games have been bumped, but it stings even more when it feels like bigger programs wouldn’t get the same treatment. The move left fans scrambling and frustrated, fueling the ongoing feeling that ESPN doesn’t give Tennessee a fair shake. Despite the chaos, the Vols pulled off a solid win, but the network’s decision is still sparking heated debate. How do you think networks should handle overlapping games? #Sports #Football #TennesseeVols00Share

So, if you’re not a fan of the latest look, it’s all about the players’ vibe, not just tradition. The classic orange and white will still show up for big rivalries, but expect some fun twists throughout the season. How do you feel about players having this say?

Michael Pitts+FollowTennessee Vols star Jermod McCoy sidelinedTennessee fans, brace yourselves—star cornerback Jermod McCoy won’t be on the field for the season opener against Syracuse. After tearing his ACL last winter, McCoy’s recovery is still ongoing, and he’s expected to miss several games. This is a huge blow, considering he’s projected as a first-round NFL Draft pick and a key part of the Vols’ defense. With the Vols facing East Tennessee State next, his absence might not sting as much, but the real test comes when Georgia visits in Week 3. How do you think the defense will hold up without him? #Sports #Football #TennesseeVols00Share
phughes+FollowTennessee’s recruiting win shows real coaching powerTennessee just pulled off a major coup by flipping five-star wide receiver Tristen Keys from LSU, and it’s not just about NIL deals or Adidas connections.

Keys himself said LSU did nothing wrong; he simply felt Tennessee’s persistence and care. This kind of recruiting effort says a lot about the Vols’ future.

Quarterback Faizon Brandon, the No. 1 overall player in his class, couldn’t hide his excitement, promising an “electric and fun offense” with Keys in the mix. With talents like Keys, Tyreek King, and more, Tennessee could be on the verge of reclaiming its “WRU” reputation.

phughes+FollowVols’ backup QB spot still up for grabsTennessee fans, the battle for the Vols’ backup quarterback is heating up, and it’s not as clear-cut as some might think. While Joey Aguilar has locked in the starting job, Jake Merklinger’s experience gives him a slight edge as QB2—for now. But don’t count out George MacIntyre, whose talent could shake things up if Aguilar misses time. This open competition could mean big changes mid-season. How do you feel about the uncertainty behind center? Would you rather see experience or raw potential step in if needed? #Sports #Football #TennesseeVols00Share
