Anybody who’s followed @Vol_Hoops for the past 50 years gets it, the scope of what Rick Barnes has done with a program that has produced great players and great moments, but never this kind of elite consistency. Yes, there’s still the white whale, the Final Four. But there was a time when the mere idea of three straight Elite 8’s on Rocky Top would have been like saying the university was going to order the band to never play the song again.
Tennessee in the NCAA Tournament the last four years:
* 2023 - Sweet 16
* 2024 - Elite 8
* 2025 - Elite 8
* 2026 - Sweet 16
Rick Barnes - most under-appreciated coach in the sport.
Not a bad run for a guy they said "couldn't win in March."🍊🍊
@CameronWolfe@nflnetwork@TackleCancer@Broncos Waddle was absolutely fantastic with my son during his Make-a-Wish trip. He spent extra time with him at the facility and on game day (even played catch with him on the field). Went over and above!

Tennessee rugby defeats Bowling Green, 21-15, in the national championship game to complete an undefeated season. The Vols won their second national title since 2021.
Then that's the play call.
I mean ... that's just losing football.
You don't deserve things like the College Football Playoff with big-moment execution like that.
Eight minutes for Tennessee to dig itself out of a CFP absence that would 100% be Tennessee's fault.
Thank you Coach V for everything you’ve done. You’ve brought this program, players and fans nothing but joy and we are all grateful for it! I look forward to seeing Coach Elander take this role! There isn’t anyone that deserves it more than he does. He is the glue to it all! GBO!
Hurston Waldrep of the @Braves is the second MLB rookie in the modern era to earn the win in each of his first 4 appearances of a season while allowing 1 run or fewer in each.
The other was Fernando Valenzuela in 1981.
