is it saturday yet?

There’s a reason Tennessee used to be known as Wide Receiver U.

The Vols cranked out explosive deep threats in the passing game the way the Hawaiian Islands did world-class surfers.

That pipeline to the NFL has slowed somewhat over the years, but it looks like it’s about to pick back up with the game-changing tandem of Justin Hunter and Cordarrelle Patterson making an early claim to being the two best receivers in the SEC.

“It’s like being a kid in a candy shop with two guys like that to throw to,” Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray said. “You drop back and know that nine times out of 10 the defense isn’t going to be able to cover them both.”

The Vols’ passing game was supposed to be a three-headed monster this season, but Da’Rick Rogers was dismissed from the team in August after failing multiple drug tests.

Rogers led the SEC with 67 catches last season and was second with 1,040 receiving yards.

But in Patterson, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound junior college transfer who’s been clocked at 10.3 in the 100 meters, the Vols have essentially replaced Rogers with somebody who’s just as big, just as sure-handed and even faster. (via)

3 DAYS!!!!

y'all, it's almost here. if you'd like to read a hopeful take on our 2012 season prospects, try this article on for size:

Justin Hunter was the best pass-catcher on the team until his early-season knee injury in 2011. Nearly 12 months later, he's back on the field and close to 100 percent. Two-time JUCO All-American wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson will also be reeling in catches, though he'll have to pick up the offense quicker than planned now.

Rajion Neal saw an opening at tailback and seized it. He outworked, out-practiced and out-scrimmaged Marlin Lane for the top spot. Lane was as sure a starter as any Volunteer in spring, but Neal showed the kind of fight that the Volunteers have lacked the past two seasons. Maybe he can be the spark for the running game.

The offensive line is extremely experienced and terrific at pass blocking, giving up the fewest sacks of any SEC team in 2011. The unit needs to improve its run blocking this year but should find that easier if the passing game can put up early points.

And then there's Tyler Bray. (via)

another runnin' photo! this one is from rachel. she expressed her dismay that the copyright obscures her justin hunter jersey, in whose honor she ran the race, and lives her life.

looks like bones is feeling better.

moe's  = nature's best medicine.

for bun-bun (and justin hunter)

y'all know rachel, right? well, she's trying to disguise drinking as charity, and would like your help. she writes:

In a couple of weeks I am going to Kentucky to run a 200 mile relay and drink bourbon, possibly in tandem. My team, which consists of 11 people you don’t know + me, is participating on behalf of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The only way I know to cure kancer is by running and drinking. Because we all itemize, I know you’re looking to tack on some more charitable contributions this year. You probably also want to win points with Bun Bun. So, here is where you can make a generous donation. It’s nothing fancy like a Booze Cruise, but it’s the best I can do.

go on. make a donation, if you believe her. which i dont.

jk, i do. brb donating!!

oh and ps, justin hunter doesn't have kancer or anything. she just loves him a whole lot.

spotifriday : SHOCK THE WORLD

in honor of the vols' unofficial slogan for the season.

this week's playlist : shock the world

go ahead and listen to it if you're tryinagit pumped right now.

see y'all in the swamp! GO VOLS! 


#STW

a proper tennessee vols post.

(granting them all the respect and attention they deserve)

It appears that another dynamic duo may be on its way in Vol Land.

Sophomores Justin Hunter and Da'Rick Rogers have been sensational through two games this season. They’ve combined for 31 catches, 502 receiving yards and five touchdowns.

They also have one of the hottest quarterbacks in the country throwing to them. Fellow sophomore Tyler Bray leads the SEC in passing with 698 yards, seven touchdowns and no interceptions.

If the three of them were playing basketball right now, the rim would look like a crater on the moon.

That’s how hot they are. (via)

and one more shot of justin hunter packing the bearcats' lunchbox on saturday:

(thx djv)

captured.

look closely at this shot captured during the cincinnati game. you'll see number 11, justin hunter aka bones, jumping about 15 feet in the air to block a field goal. his hand is on the football, and his knees are above everyone's head. isn't that something?

THIS JUST-IN.

you'll never guess what justin hunter's nickname is!!

BONES!!!!!!

rachel told me that!

what is yella bear doing?

THAT LEG.

17 days!

justin hunter! (for rachel)
