As things continue to heat up in Knoxville, and a trip to Athens is in the works for some hopes are dwindling. It seems as though everyone has a laundry list of improvements for this football team. For some strange reason the situation reminds me of an old song writer sitting on the stage who ...

Tennessee Wins:
That’s about the only positive statement that can be made following the Vols’ performance last week against Northern Illinois. A pay-per-view audience and a less than full house crowd watched Tennessee struggle to get past a directional school. With a similar ...

So, you’ve made it through Football 101 and have one of two thoughts:
“That was a waste of time; I knew all of that already and got bored and started skimming”, or
“That was helpful, and I FINALLY get it! Now I don’t feel lost any more!”
Regardless of ...

The Halfcourt Trap.
As I try to contain my excitement about the epic Northern Illinois-Tennessee clash, here are this week’s topics that caught my eye.
1. Failing Arizona. A messy divorce. A mediocre season. An ugly staff purge. Your stud recruit skipping Tucson for Europe. That has ...

I’ve been at this blog for a while now. Usually, during the football season (in both good and bad times) the words come relatively easily; especially compared to the challenge of writing a blog during the summer months when all is still speculation. To me this week feels a little like a May ...

More of the Same:
Another week of Tennessee football yields another week of negative talk about a very proud and historic program. Tennessee will be a relevant football program again. The obvious question many fans have is can the current administration get this program back to that elite ...

Hello class, and welcome to your first day of Football 101. I am your professor, Ohio Vol. Needless to say, that’s not my real name, but you don’t need to know what it actually is.
Since this is the first day of class, I’ll tell you a little about myself. As the name ...

I ain’t mad at ya.
I should be, but I’m not. I guess my expectations have been adjusted. As sated last week, and proven again this week, this is just a bad team right now. Thru the 1 st quarter of the season, they’ve shown no reason to think there will be a miraculous ...

A Quick Look Back:
So why would a reasonably intelligent man think that Tennessee could actually beat Florida in 2008? That is the question I keep asking myself. Could my orange blinders have been secured that tightly? I don’t think that’s the answer as I easily thought Florida, ...

With local debate revolving around whether or not Phillip Fulmer has outlived his usefulness at UT, here are six examples of legendary hoops coaches who stayed inplace a little too long.
1. Denny Crum. Louisville was one of the true juggernauts in 1980s college hoops. The Cards were regular ...

Florida lowered the boom on Saturday. Once and for all, college football fans got the answer to the question: “Where does this football team stand?” Speaking of answers, they were delivered in short order. The UT football team had few answers for the speedy attack of Florida’s special teams. ...

What now? I wonder what is left in the bag of tricks. Any of that magic dust around? Lord, I hope so.
I think what we, and the media, need to realize is that Tennessee just isn’t that good anymore. I don’t think when the season is over that this win for Florida will be any better than the ...

After seeing Michigan throw up all over themselves at Notre Dame, I decided to continue the Trap’s recent trend of tying what’s happening on the gridiron to college hoops commentary for one more week. In that spirit, here is a list of one traditionally successful program from each ...

Big Week in This League:
I would have just called it what it is, the SEC. However, I love it when people discussing Southeastern Conference football describe it by calling it “this league.” I just want to be in that mix. One element to this weekend that is different than most ...

Given the tone of the board this week I can truly say, that for the first time there is little argument about the Florida game and what UT will have to do to win it. The Tennessee football team will have to play a perfect football game if they are to beat the favored reptiles at home this ...

It was a somewhat interesting weekend of football. The astute Doug Coffin basically covered all I care to say about the UAB game. Can’t be upset about a 35-3 victory, but you can extrapolate from that game that it will take a more……. A LOT MORE……to pull out a W ...

The score looks good, the statistics look good, and the result looks good. Then why am I less than thrilled about the play against UAB? I know exactly why - this game was won due to athletes, not any sort of coaching. As everyone knows, I shoot straight - I have no biases. This game looks great ...

The Halfcourt Trap Vol. II, No. 3
Before we get started, a couple of things. First, the loss of Don Haskins is an immense one for college basketball. The man was simply a legend. I implore everyone to read Dan Wetzel’s Yahoo Sports column on the Bear. Also, get well soon to coaching ...
