I’ve deleted about 5 prior tweets. I’ll say this, I cut the game off. Lack of effort & focus will NEVER be accepted at Tennessee. There’s a standard & we fell so far below that today. Disrespectful to Al Wilson who spoke to team & Peyton, who’s in attendance.SMH. Hot pile of 💩

Boos were so loud when a position group hit the field during warm ups. I assumed it was Tennessee players being booed since we’re the away team. It was Ohio State players being booed by the Tennessee crowd. Absolutely unreal.

Holly Warlick is an alum. She’s given most of her life to the University Of Tennessee. I think it’s clear what needs to happen moving forward w/ the program, but I think she deserves respect and a thank you. She’s one of us. Whether she can get the job done or not, She’s a Vol.

The conversation should be about the Tennessee defense. You should’ve seen the red teams body language after the first drive of the game. They wanted no more. That was a clinic

Just finished watching every #Vols offensive play from Saturday's game vs #BYU. Jim Chaney I thought did a really good job calling plays. IMO, this is a week where there should be open competition at QB, OL to find top5 , & RB. Need more dog from other pass catchers outside #15

Holly Warlick gave her life to Tennessee and women’s college basketball. She’s a Vol for life. It was time.
Tennessee has parted ways with women’s basketball coach Holly Warlick, source told @stadium. Went to the NCAA tourney in all seven seasons after taking over for Pat Summitt, but was unable to get the Vols to a Final Four.

Nope, this is it. DK is just satisfied with winning the SEC regular season title. Time to opt out and prepare for NBA OR.... just maybe an athlete in the moment is happy with his teammates to help his hoops program do something that hasn't been done since 2008 & 1967. Athletes can be happy in the moment. Let them, without always over analyzing every single move they make just have a take. It's ok to sometimes not have a take folks.
Winning a regular-season SEC title gets the ring celebration? Dalton Knecht is incredible but gotta have bigger Tournament goals.
