Still in the same spot, FWIW.

First observation of the morning: This is the first time I've used my work laptop in 7-8 weeks, and the up button still doesn't work. Second observation of the morning: Tennessee's passing game has a lot of work to do and little time to do it.

I'm not gonna base an entire argument on less than 30 minutes of access on one day ... but ...

Jermod McCoy once again in full pads doing individual drills at practice today. Lots of progression from the star cornerback. #Vols

I don't even know what new Twitter name to use yet.

I'm not judging anything until the season starts and the puzzle is put together against an opponent. But even if this is a transition season of slightly above average ball, that wouldn't be reason to freakout IMO. If it happened again in 2026, then freaking out would be aight.

Just saying the passing game needs work. Anyone watching it would say the same. That's why they practice. And click bait requires a link, no?

I don't think anyone expects Swiss-like precision on Aug. 11 with this many new pieces and some key injuries.

The Tennessee soccer team has an Ally, another Ally, an Ali, an Abby and an Alivia. Bet communication is super fun. (Lady Vols open the season Thursday night against No. 1 North Carolina at Regal Stadium.)

I can't run at all. Not for 10 years now. Can mow a yard, lift stuff, play golf all day. But can't run. Can't feel the right side from the neck down, so every step with the right foot has to be scanned. Vertigo ain't a delight, either. Wallenberg Syndrome is an a-hole.

Tennessee RBs De'Rail Sims unsurprisingly remains non-committal on the size of the rotation this season. Said he likes what he's seeing from his group.

Tennessee De'Rail Sims: We've got six guys in that room busting their tails and competing every day. No room for complacency. Competition doesn't allow complacency.

Tennessee RBs coach De'Rail Sims insisted that Duke transfer Star Thomas is not a specialty, loose-down back. Said Thomas is an every-down, complete back.

Tennessee RBs coach De'Rail Sims said sophomore Peyton Lewis "looks like a Greek god" walking into the building every day after a big offseason, and that his eyes and feet are now on the same page.

Tennessee RBs coach De'Rail Sims said sophomore Peyton Lewis can stop more pass rushers in their tracks now and can make more would-be tacklers bounce off him. So he doesn't just look a lot bigger. He's playing a lot bigger. (Also one of team's fastest players.)

Vols sophomore RB Peyton Lewis said it took him a year to not walk into every scrimmage and home game and look up and be like, “Oh my God, I’m playing at Neyland.” Said he’s more businesslike about it now.
