It's New Mexico State week for the Tennessee football program, so GoVols247 decided to have a mailbag podcast -- and this one was an occasion. For the first time in, well, a long time, all three of us (Patrick Brown, Ben McKee and Ryan Callahan) came together for an episode, and we wanted to answer questions from our loyal GoVols247 subscribers hitting on all three Tennessee sports: Football -- How do we think Tennessee closes out the regular season? What staff changes should Josh Heupel make and what positions should the Vols prioritize in the transfer portal? What players need to make a leap in 2026? How will this season be remembered if Tennessee wins out? Where will Tennessee's 2026 recruiting class finish in the rankings? Hoops -- What will Rick Barnes do with the starting five? Baseball -- How will Josh Elander's first season in charge of the Vols look like and what will the pitching rotation be? We got some holiday questions as well and shared our favorite things and our rules for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Enjoy!
