Transfers! A no-name coaching staff! And the recruit Tennessee dreamed of landing was destined to be a dream all along. Marky Billson It’s been one month since Josh Heupel was hired as the Tennessee Volunteers head coach. It seemed appropriate that month ended with quarterback prospect Ty Simpson verbally committing to Alabama instead of Clemson or Tennessee.

The SEC's hockey-football hybrid
With the Stanley Cup Finals in full force, let’s note every university in the Southeastern Conference has an ice hockey team.

Now that the Associated Press has released its poll of the Top 100 college football programs since the poll’s inception in 1936, it leads to the natural inquiry of who is voting in the AP poll.

Eyebrows were raised last month when Mt. Lebanon native Bill Roth left his position as “Voice of the Virginia Tech Hokies” to take a similar position at UCLA. Roth, 49, was the Hokies’ primary play-by-play announcer for 27 years. His move to UCLA is somewhat surprising as the vision of a college play-by-play announcer, more often than not, is someone synonymous with a single team.
