The GRT Podcast is, like the Tennessee Football team, back in the saddle. In this episode, cocooned in newness, we talk about the Vols being 10.5-point favorites over a Florida Gators team we've beaten only once in nearly two decades and why we think The Weirdness will not be making an appearance this year.
