    Her boy started his college football career as a junior college walk-on and nearly quit to become a firefighter. Now he’s the starter at Tennessee. Cry away. Your boy bet on himself and won.

    Tennessee being a No. 3 seed and Duke being a No. 2 seed is an absolute joke on every level.

    #Vols played a walk-on DB on the final series because literally everyone else was hurt, and they beat Alabama. Incredible.

    Imagine Stetson Bennett IV on Tennessee's roster. Then imagine Hendon Hooker on Georgia's roster.

    Hendon Hooker will always be remembered as the player who brought Tennessee football back to relevance. One of the best quarterbacks in program history. Special player. Special person. Sports are the very best and the very worst.

    Twenty years ago, #Vols LB Daniel Bituli and his Congolese family lived in a refugee camp in Cameroon. Now their oldest son serves in the U.S. Navy, their middle son works at Merrill Lynch and their youngest son is about to be an NFL player. This America is our best America.

    #Vols' Bru McCoy: I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I got here, in the best possible way. I couldn't imagine the noise, the environment, all of it. Coming here is the best decision I've ever made.

    When you're the starting quarterback at a place like the University of Tennessee, and it's potentially your draft year, you just don't do stuff like this in the spring. For so many reasons, you do not do stuff like this. Incomprehensibly bad decisions.

    #Vols’ Jauan Jennings: I’m a Tennessee guy from a Tennessee family. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the state of Tennessee and the University of Tennessee. I take that with me every time I step on the field. This place means everything to me.
