GOP Rep. Tom Kean disappeared for 4 months & missed dozens of votes then finally surfaced, read a 5 minute speech saying he was at a mental health facility, refused to take questions from the press, and MAGA supports his reelection. But the Talarico hoax is career ending.

Clutch runs as Bishop and the Vols checkmate the Razorbacks 24-17. Not crisp from Tennessee but it was the first win in Fayetteville for the Big Orange 🍊 since 2001. Now the Vols need to get ready for the Tide coming to Neyland next week for the Third Saturday in October!

Well ok Vols. That 3rd quarter was a disaster. Shake it off, carry the fight, and win this!

Shibley’s Pick: The Vols should keep things pretty simple. Run the ball with Bishop and company on offense while keeping constant pressure on KJ Jackson and not let the Razorbacks get anything going. This should lead to a solid SEC road win for the Big Orange 🍊. TENNESSEE 30 ARKANSAS 14

Pope Leo XIV: Someone who says 'I'm against abortion' but says 'I'm in favor of the death penalty' is not really pro-life. Someone who says that 'I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants who are in the United States,' I don't know if that's pro-life.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Tennessee defeats Auburn 24-14. It wasn't pretty, but it's a win. Neyland would have loved the Vol defense, punting, and power football. 200+ yards and 3 TDs for Bishop! Do I know what to do at QB? Nope. That's a worry for tomorrow. Enjoy the win Big Orange 🍊!

Power football by the Big Orange 🍊 and Bishop into the checkerboards for six! Vols back up two scores.

No idea why Auburn didn't sneak that. Still, great 4th down stop Vols!

This might be a "get off my lawn" take, but I don't think you should be striking the Heisman Trophy pose as a celebration until the final two weeks of the regular season.

One play six points! Way to run Bishop! Vols up on Auburn 17-7.

Give Bishop six! Vols back in front. Nice pass by MacIntyre to open up the drive.

Michael Shibley @shibblesnbits.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Auburn leads Tennessee 7-3 at the half. Just a bowling shoe ugly half. Brandon was replaced by MacIntyre for the final possession. Let's see what happens in the second half.

Shibley’s Pick: I think this game gets won in the trenches. If the Vols can get back to running the ball while providing enough protection for Brandon they should be fine. TENNESSEE 31 AUBURN 20

As Tennessee celebrates the 100th anniversary of General Neyland's coaching tenure tomorrow, keep in mind that he would have been one of those generals lil' Petey would have fired. Neyland was way too good at his job in the Army, both as an engineer and as a master of logistics.

I agree that there needs to be some guardrails when it comes to college athletics. I still don’t think the Protect College Sports Act does enough for the players. Unless players have the ability to collectively bargain, which would be a Herculean task, they will not get the best opportunity.

Even with the loss I feel encouraged about Tennessee’s season. Not in a moral victory sense because we had opportunities to win that game. I like how the defense played and Faizon Brandon will continue to improve. It helps that the Vols also play Auburn and Arkansas before Alabama comes to town.

Tennessee’s Hail Mary attempt falls incomplete and Texas defeats Tennessee 20-17. Vols got a late TD and the onside kick to get us into position but couldn’t finish. Too many mistakes on that last possession. Brandon has got to make quicker decisions.

Texas leads Tennessee 10-3 at the half. Vols need to control that Texas pass rush and Brandon needs to stay settled. Also Texas has been piss poor on their penalties which Tennessee needs to do a better job at taking advantage of.

Michael Shibley @shibblesnbits.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Shibley’s Pick: Neyland has to be Neyland loud all game. The Vols have to keep Arch Manning uncomfortable and Faizon Brandon needs to keep stay cool under pressure. I think it’s close but Texas just has more depth top to bottom which gets them the win TEXAS 27 TENNESSEE 21.

Everyone should check your voter registration status before the midterms! Use the state government website to do this. Do not use any other site. That’s important! Make sure it’s a .gov website and that it’s genuine. ✅ Pass it on!

banning diesel exports is unlikely to be successful in pushing diesel prices down aside from Gulf states, it will likely push refiners to cut production rates which could mean even higher gasoline prices as well. conventional wisdom that it’ll lower prices? it’s a trap.

diesel is already at all-time highs, and a diesel export ban may bring some relief to diesel at the expense of gas prices- which could start to rise (as cutting output would hit gasoline hardest). if diesel exports get banned, gas prices could rise toward record levels.

Tennessee defeats Kennesaw State 42-9. Not crisp but still workman like for the Big Orange getting over 400 yards of offense and keeping the Owls out of the end zone. A nine game SEC gauntlet starts with No. 1 Texas coming to Neyland next week.

Michael Shibley @shibblesnbits.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
Tennessee leads Kennesaw State 21-3 at the half. Not crisp by any means, especially on the offensive side and with a couple of minor injuries. Finish off those drives guys.

Fans with bags over their heads at games is loser behavior. Either cheer for your team or don’t go to the game.

Shibley’s Pick: Dude, it’s Kennesaw State. The Big Orange 🍊 just need to play their game, don’t get anyone injured, and don’t look ahead to Texas. This game should be over midway through the first half. TENNESSEE 59 KENNESAW STATE 6
