I just launched an apparel line at 45yo. I’m out here taking photos of myself feeling awkward & honestly embarrassed bc what middle-aged woman in their right mind would chase a dream that most girls start when they’re 20yo? The devil will tell you you’re gonna fail. Deny him.
Reggie Bush gave everything to USC. He was stripped of awards & isn't even allowed on campus, yet he didn't take a dime. Meanwhile rich USC administrators were taking millions sitting in their glass offices on campus. Disgusting.
Please STOP saying they need to fire Pruitt.
Please STOP bashing these kids. They know how they’re viewed & they feel awful about it.
Please STOP fueling asinine conspiracy theories.
Please STOP telling others they aren’t real fans.
We’re all upset but be better y’all.
Here’s how it works in the South:
Don’t want a fight? Don’t run your mouth.
Don’t want to face the consequences? Don’t make bad choices.
Don’t wanna compete? Don’t play.
Don’t want your coach to grab your face mask? Don’t ignore his instructions.
Life is this simple.
Did UGA just allow a Georgia girl to stand on that stage and sing a very favorable song about the Tennessee boy she's in love with? 😂 Vols by a hunderd.
I’m just gonna say it: the Florida game disappointed in the noise department. We can do better. And frankly, I expect better. You gotta bring it on every down, y’all. All 4 quarters. When you get tired, think about General Neyland’s efforts to get us here.

Bru, as somebody who also left a life as a USC Trojan behind, I hope your cup runneth over with Big🍊love, that your soul is set on fire by the power of the Smoky Mountains & her people’s strength & pride. Welcome home, friend.
@HLM85
My Daddy needs all the prayers. Whatever you can spare: better breathing, a higher BP, comfort, peace, no worry. Whatever you’ve got, please just send them up.
I wake this morning proudly claiming a moral victory. This Tennessee football team & its coaching staff deserves all the praise & I’m gonna give it to them without reservation. For the first time in a really long time, it feels safe to get excited for the program’s future.

Apparently this is one of those “What do you see?” illusions. Every human with eyes can see the Alabama player assault a girl — everyone, that is, except for Nick Saban, Kirk Herbstreit & Chris Fowler. They can’t see it.
I've carried the torch for

today by going to that little hole-the-wall taqueria, pub or BBQ joint. Put the phone away & talk to the people there like you’re old friends. And when you leave, use that phone to call one person that you haven’t talked to in ages.
Shoutout to the court clerk who’s assisted Judge Newman through this marathon. I’ve had my suspicions that she & I would be friends in real life. Today she confirmed it with her range of expressions as she listened to these guys say no telling what. You’re my girl!
#Murdaugh
A team that is rebuilding with a terribly thin roster is a team that’s fighting for every inch. It’s already an uphill climb. Throw in bad referees & obvious miscalls. Now you’re asking that team to overcome the impossible. And the league knows it.
We stopped the Schiano hire bc we knew there was more. There was something better for this program. We supported a Bammer dressed in orange because we were starved for MORE. We went to hell & back & now we have the Coach of the Year leading OUR team so yeah

Hey Joel. Me again. I’d like to extend another invitation to join me in Knoxville & visit with the fan base that didn’t deserve anybody. We’ll enjoy one of the most beautiful campuses in the country, delicious BBQ & fine southern hospitality. You name the date & I’ll host you.

I’d tweet when I had info from the people I trust, so here it is...
After coming close to the finish line with Barnes yesterday, things took a turn. He is likely not UCLA’s guy.
Besides the embarrassing football, USC just sent an absolute legend in Dr. Arthur Bartner out on a loss. 50 years of fighting on & that’s how it ends for him. He deserved better.
Yes that’s me crying in the first frame🧡It was the moment I found out that my alma mater,
@UTKnoxville
, deemed my new apparel line OFFICIALLY LICENSED. A blessing & a huge push to keep pursuing this dream.💫There is much to do & 🏔️ to climb, but we’re doing it, y’all!
A different set of refs, a little more discipline & this game would’ve been a W for Tennessee. I’m butthurt rn, but my lord look at the improvements this team & staff have made.
This is our guy. He is here. I’ve never been more sure than I am rn, “undressing the QB” & all.
#USC
has finished with a top 10 recruiting class for the last 5 years. Three of those years they finished at
#2
and
#4
twice, and you're telling me they can't score a TD against Stanford.
I’m sad. I’m sad about everything in my life. Tennessee football has been there for me for 42 years & now I’m mourning it. I keep telling myself that football doesn’t matter. But the truth is: it matters to me. It’s gone just like my loved ones & it’s left a gaping hole in my 🧡.
Your move,
@John_Currie
. When you make this decision, remember that you're not only dictating the program's future, but also thousands of small business owners' well being too. The TN economy is at stake here. Bring this state somebody it needs & deserves.

I love JG as a human being & as an athlete who is giving his all for TN. But it’s time for difficult decisions. I want him to be great so badly but this just isn’t working. Please say a prayer for this young man. I cannot even imagine the pressure & frustration he feels.
This is the man, the leader, the down-to-earth winner that Tennessee needs right now. We could move mountains in the SEC - & not just on the football field. 🍊

You know that KABOOM that happens when we get a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ athlete? Well look out…you’re about to hear a very loud KABOOM on Rocky Top for a huge get academically. It’s a GREAT day to be a Tennessee Vol, y’all!
If you were there, if you were a part of that dynasty run in 1998...if you read every Daily Becon article in print form & you scraped & saved for Atlanta & Tempe...you believed in & trusted Fulmer 100%. Maybe I'm just old & stuck in that decade but I have the same faith today.
Stars don’t matter? Can you imagine how bad these games would be if USC trotted a bunch of 2 & 3 stars out there? These kids’ & their 4 & 5 star talent is the only reason they ever have a chance.
Nobody:
Me: Wow interesting!!! So she/they went with all blue & no orange for the presser! Wild! Ok okayy🩵!! Wait, like…no orange??? Why no orange?? What does thisss meannnn??? 😮🤔🙃

Rece says that Michigan State players are “grown men that have to show some kind of restraint” & if “they put their hands on somebody, they have to arrest them.” Alabama players are ok to assault a female college student, though. Nothing to see here.
I'm gonna make this as clear as I can even though I know it won't be popular: Peyton Manning had everything to do with this Schiano fiasco & if Tee Martin doesn't get a call, you can point straight at the QB that didn't win Tennessee a national title.
Hey it’s me again in this perpetually heartbreaking year of 2020. Daddy was rushed to the ER last night. Please pray with us: That fluid is removed, his breathing gets better, his body accepts 2 units of blood, he comes home asap & he & Mama stay safe from Covid. Thank you.
I will not be able to move forward, healthily, from this Heisman debacle until I hear from Danny White, Heupel & Hooker. I need to know what what they were told & how they are dealing with it. I simply don’t have the strength to get over this one without hearing from leadership.
You won’t find many 📸 of me from the last few months. Anxiety & depression told me to hide the sadness I’m living in. I’ve been cocooning with family & friends & yesterday amid all the hurt I realized their love is transforming me into the person I’ve always wanted to be.
So LA it hurts: The 105 freeway has been shut down for hours. This food truck, also stuck in the mess, has opened its doors & is now selling breakfast burritos to stranded motorists. 🌯

I’m watching the championship game from a private “club” in Manhattan Beach, CA. When the President walked onto the field, 80% of this crowd cheered. I heard 1 boo in the crowd of 100 patrons.
Friends, I’ve called upon you & your prayers so much that I know it must seem like I’m crying “wolf!” The pain is so sharp rn that I’m starting to believe none this is even real. I need your prayers again tonight for our Jean, our grandmother, the matriarch of our family. ty❤️
Dear God: thank you so much for blessing me with sports & the wherewithal to know what’s going on in the world — not just that within my small mind. Please be w bachelorette 1 & matron of honor 1 & especially with the men that agreed to marry them. Amen.

My thoughts on Tyson Helton FWIW: He hates Knoxville. His family hates Knoxville. And he does not like working for Jeremy Pruitt. I don’t think Tyson Helton will be back as OC. But that’s just my opinion.

Kill ‘em with kindness tonight, Vols. Give him a warm welcome so that the haters don’t have anything to talk about except another Tennessee win.
He’s a hard-working entrepreneur, loving son, fun brother, giving neighbor, dedicated provider, proud uncle & awesome teammate. And I’m grateful he’s all mine. Happy Birthday to my favorite human. ❤️🎉🥂
