The discussion centers on the football program's aggressive offseason moves, specifically its heavy activity in the transfer portal, where the team has signed 14 players, including several key defensive acquisitions from Penn State.

The conversation also shifts to Tennessee basketball, analyzing the men's team's recent struggles with consistency and the Lady Vols' strong momentum in SEC play. Throughout the segment, Mathews and Hyams touch on the broader impact of NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals and the trend of playing more true freshmen to maintain roster depth and player satisfaction.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Coach talks to Jimmy Hyams on the shifting landscape of Tennessee football as it prepares for the 2026 season. The team has been particularly active in the transfer portal, signing nine players thus far with a heavy emphasis on bolstering the defense, including four notable acquisitions from Penn State. However, significant needs remain on the offensive side of the ball, particularly for a proven wide receiver and running back. A central point of debate for the program is the quarterback strategy: whether to recruit a one-year veteran from the portal to allow young talents like George MacIntyre and Faizon Brandon time to develop, or to bring in a multi-year player that could potentially lead to roster turnover among the younger prospects. The conversation then shifts to the current performance of the Tennessee basketball programs as of January 2026. The men’s team, holding an 11-5 record, is struggling with consistency on the road, recently suffering a significant 24-point loss to Florida characterized by high turnovers and defensive lapses. In contrast, the Lady Vols under Coach Kim Caldwell are off to a strong 3-0 start in SEC play, led by standout performances from five-star freshman Mia Poldo. While the men's team navigates a volatile SEC landscape currently led by an undefeated Vanderbilt, the Lady Vols are focused on maintaining their momentum to secure a top-four seed and a double-bye in the conference tournament.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jimmy Hyams joins the show to discuss the historic season for Indiana University football, characterizing it as one of the most remarkable runs in college football history. Hyams compares the current Hoosiers squad to the elite 2019 LSU team, noting that Indiana has outscored its opponents by a staggering 473 points this season. The discussion highlights the team's exceptional coaching and fundamental play, especially considering they have only eight four- or five-star players compared to much higher numbers at programs like Alabama, Oregon, and Miami. Hyams particularly credits quarterback Kurtis Rourke for his accuracy and leadership, noting his performance in high-stakes games is a key reason Indiana is positioned for a national championship. The segment also previews the upcoming national championship game between Indiana and Miami, with Hyams favoring Indiana despite the game being played in Miami's "backyard". Looking ahead to the University of Tennessee's off-season, Hyams notes that while the transfer portal has seen 24 departures, the team is actively seeking at least 10 to 15 new additions to address needs at quarterback, running back, and across the secondary. Finally, the conversation touches on Tennessee basketball, with Hyams noting the team's high ceiling but inconsistent play, specifically highlighting the need for players like Zakai Zeigler and Felix Okpara to perform at a high level as conference play begins.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
