Tennessee AD Dave Hart says Vols must move with 'urgency' to catch SEC's elite » GoVolsXtra: "The student section failed to sell out for even Saturday's Alabama game, something that would have been unthinkable in the past."

Phillip Fulmer to be honored at Saturday's game for Hall of Fame induction

2012-10-18T09:35:00.001-04:00

Phillip Fulmer to be honored at Saturday's game for Hall of Fame induction: 'This is a way to say thank you' » GoVolsXtra: "If there were an unlimited number of tickets available for his induction at the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame, former Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer would invite thousands.

But the ceremony at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York on Dec. 4 will accommodate only close friends and family, which is why Fulmer is getting a special recognition before Saturday's game against No. 1 Alabama at Neyland Stadium.

Fulmer, who spent 16 years as the Vols' head coach before being let go in 2008, was selected to the Hall of Fame on his first ballot this summer. He'll be honored along with the 1997 SEC championship team at Neyland Stadium. Quarterback Peyton Manning has an off-week and is flying here from Denver to help honor his old coach."

Vols' defense didn't get gashed, but it still 'bled to death'

2012-10-15T08:47:00.001-04:00

Mike Strange: Vols' defense didn't get gashed, but it still 'bled to death' » GoVolsXtra: "This defense is on pace to challenge for the dubious distinction of being UT's worst ever statistically. That goes way beyond the "growing pains" Dooley envisioned when he switched to a new base system (the 3-4) and had to replace the entire defensive staff."

Mississippi State game crucial for Derek Dooley

2012-10-09T13:00:00.001-04:00

Mark Wiedmer: Mississippi State game crucial for Derek Dooley | timesfreepress.com: "KNOXVILLE -- Third-year Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley was almost done with his media obligations Monday when someone reminded him that Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen is undefeated (5-0) in his fourth season at MSU.

The implication was obvious. If Mullen could take a program that had posted a losing record in seven of the eight years before he arrived and stand 5-0 in his fourth year on the job, shouldn't the Big Orange Nation expect a similarly hot start from Dooley in 2013?

But Dooley didn't get his law degree by winning a raffle.

"Every situation is unique," he said."
