Charlie Burris and Zach Ragan break down Tennessee's 2026 season, starting with Saturday's matchup against Furman and looking ahead to what could be a massive year for Josh Heupel and the Vols. How good can Tennessee actually be? The guys go through the schedule and make their predictions for every game, including the biggest matchups against Texas, Alabama, South Carolina, Texas A&M, and LSU. Charlie has Tennessee finishing the regular season 10-2, while Zach predicts a 9-3 record. Both believe the Vols have a legitimate path to the College Football Playoff, but there are plenty of opportunities for Tennessee to stumble along the way. A huge part of Tennessee's ceiling will depend on true freshman quarterback Faizon Brandon. The Vols have plenty of talent around him, including DeSean Bishop, Mike Matthews and Braylon Staley, but Brandon will be asked to navigate one of the toughest schedules in college football. The guys also discuss the importance of Jim Knowles' first season as Tennessee's defensive coordinator. After concerns about how quickly the new system would come together, there is optimism that Knowles can turn the Vols' defense into a legitimate strength by the end of the season. Plus, Charlie and Zach make their bold predictions for the 2026 season. Will Mike Matthews emerge as an NFL Draft first-rounder? Can Kayin Lee become one of Tennessee's breakout defensive stars? Could an offensive player find himself on the Heisman radar? And can Jim Knowles produce a top-20 defense? Before all of that, though, Tennessee has to take care of business against Furman. The Vols are massive favorites entering Saturday's game, and the guys expect Tennessee to win comfortably. Zach predicts a 70-3 type of game, while Charlie lands around 55-6.

The Tennessee Vols officially have a new uniform sponsor — and it created a massive debate among fans. Charlie Burris and Zach Ragan break down Tennessee's First Horizon Bank uniform patch announcement, why the Power T was removed from the collar, whether this was the right decision and what this says about the future of college football. Tennessee's new uniform sponsorship deal is reportedly worth around $120 million over 10 years, giving the Vols a major new revenue stream during a time when college football programs are constantly searching for ways to fund increasingly expensive rosters. But there is a catch. To add the sponsor patch, Tennessee removed the Power T from the collar of the jersey and replaced it with SEC branding. That decision immediately created backlash from fans who believe the Power T is one of the most important symbols in Tennessee football history. Charlie and Zach discuss both sides of the argument. On one hand, Tennessee fans have every reason to want the Power T protected. It represents the history and tradition of the program. On the other hand, college football has entered a new era where programs need massive amounts of revenue to compete for elite players. The guys explain why $12 million per year can make a real difference for Tennessee's roster building and why this type of sponsorship is becoming unavoidable across college athletics. They also discuss why the First Horizon patch itself was handled better than some other examples around college football, why Tennessee's uniforms still maintain their traditional look and how athletic director Danny White has balanced revenue generation with protecting Tennessee's identity. Is losing the Power T on the collar worth $12 million per year? Should Tennessee fans be upset? Or is this simply the reality of modern college football? Charlie Burris and Zach Ragan discuss the biggest Tennessee uniform debate of the offseason on the Big Orange Podcast.

Tennessee football is entering the 2026 season with enormous expectations, but is this finally the year the Volunteers take the next step under Josh Heupel? On this episode of the A to Z Sports Big Orange Podcast, Charlie Burris and Zach Ragan ask three huge questions about Tennessee football heading into the season. Is this the year Josh Heupel makes the correct quarterback decision the first time? Is this the year new defensive coordinator Jim Knowles gets his defense playing at a high level immediately? And perhaps most importantly, is this the year Tennessee finally avoids the dreaded "Heupel loss" against a team the Vols should beat? The conversation begins with the latest Tennessee fall camp news. Ty Redmond returned to practice after missing time with an illness, although he was working on the side, while Ethan Davis remained out with an undisclosed injury. The guys also discuss comments from Tennessee offensive line coach Glen Elarbee, who was remarkably candid about the performance of his offensive line during the 2025 season. Elarbee acknowledged that his group struggled when it mattered most, creating significant expectations for a talented 2026 offensive line featuring players such as David Sanders. Charlie and Zach then turn their attention to Tennessee's biggest offseason question: the quarterback competition between Faizon Brandon and George MacIntyre. Is this finally the year Josh Heupel gets his quarterback decision right on the first attempt? The hosts revisit Heupel's decision to start Joe Milton over Hendon Hooker in 2021 and discuss why the quarterback position can be so difficult to evaluate before the lights come on. With Tennessee's first scrimmage approaching, the quarterback battle is entering an important stage, and the second scrimmage could help determine when the Vols ultimately settle on a starter. The podcast also examines Jim Knowles' first season as Tennessee's defensive coordinator. Knowles has said his defense is progressing faster than it did at previous stops because he was able to bring coaches and players familiar with his system to Knoxville. Charlie and Zach discuss whether that continuity, combined with Tennessee's work under new strength and conditioning coach Derek Owings, could allow the Vols defense to make a dramatic improvement from last season. Finally, the guys tackle one of the most important questions for Tennessee's 2026 season: Can Josh Heupel avoid another "Heupel loss"? The hosts identify several games where Tennessee could potentially stumble, including Georgia Tech, Auburn, Arkansas, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. With a young quarterback potentially making his first SEC road starts, Tennessee could be more vulnerable to an upset than in previous seasons. The discussion also explores the increasing parity in college football. With NIL, the transfer portal and roster movement creating more competitive balance across the SEC, Charlie and Zach argue that there are fewer truly "unbeatable" games than ever before. Even highly talented teams can lose to unexpected opponents, making Tennessee's ability to avoid bad losses especially important if the Vols want to compete for the SEC Championship and College Football Playoff. With the first Tennessee football scrimmage coming up Saturday, the answers to these questions are about to become much clearer. Is this finally the year for Tennessee?

The Slanted Attic Experience: Episode 67 "Gray & Sammy" Rocky Top, Rabbit Holes & Richmond PerspectivesTyler sits down with Gray and Sammy for one of the most unpredictable episodes the attic has produced. A finance guy who will not elaborate on what he does, a die hard Tennessee Volunteer, and a Richmond native with a gift for conversation somehow cover everything from NFL drama to the inventor of the pool noodle in a single sitting.They open with the Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini drama before moving through the AJ Brown trade, Titans history, general NFL talk, and whether Mike Tomlin would survive coaching any other franchise. World markets, supply chain management, the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse, and a deep dive into why the ocean simply does not get the respect it deserves round out a first half that covers more ground than most episodes manage in their entirety.From there the conversation moves through college sports and NIL, James Franklin at Virginia Tech, Hendon Hooker's impact at Tennessee, and the Titans draft class before shifting into iPhone upgrades, first cell phones, and the Squatty Potty. A Masters bet win that paid off, an outsider's genuine perspective on what it is like to live in Richmond, the Amish communities of Pennsylvania, and just how dramatically life has changed from childhood to now add real depth to the closing stretch. A Las Vegas gambling trip closes things out with final thoughts and a look ahead to next time wrap everything up before the outro.Guest Panel:Gray: A Nashville native now living in Richmond, Gray works in finance, involves spreadsheets, and will not be elaborating further. A die hard Tennessee Volunteer whose blood pressure his doctor describes as concerning but seasonal, Gray has heard Rocky Top roughly 400,000 times and would gladly hear it 400,000 more. Every fall he declares it the year. Every November he is wrong. He remains undeterred.Sammy: A Richmond native and Virginia Tech alum who attended Freeman High School and stayed loyal to the city he calls home through every twist the last several years have thrown at him. Sammy values his people above everything else and given the chance will talk your ear off, not because he enjoys the sound of his own voice, but because he genuinely loves connecting with the people around him.Topics Covered:IntroMike Vrabel and Dianna Russini dramaThe AJ Brown trade and Titans historyNFL general talkWould Mike Tomlin get fired coaching any other team?More NFL talk including the draft and the CommandersThe Rodgers and McCarthy reunionFernando Mendoza and Kirk CousinsWere the 90s the best era to grow up watching sports?World markets and supply chain managementThe Francis Scott Key bridge collapseWhy is the ocean not feared enough and back to conspiraciesThe inventor of the pool noodleCollege sports and the NIL impactJames Franklin at Virginia TechHendon Hooker's move and impact at TennesseeThe Titans draft class and a story from GrayiPhone upgrades and first cell phonesThe Squatty PottyCritical mineral production and China's technological leadIs the Slanted Attic at risk of being cancelled?Rage bait and modern media cyclesA Masters bet winAn outsider's perspective on living in RichmondPennsylvania and the AmishHow much has changed from childhood until nowVisiting Las Vegas and gamblingOutro and thoughts for next timeNew episodes of The Slanted Attic Experience drop bi-weekly at 10:30 AM EST with the occasional surprise episode along the way.

The Tennessee Volunteers could have college football's most impactful freshman as 5-star quarterback Faizon Brandon brings elite athleticism, rapid learning ability, and unmatched straight-line speed to Knoxville. Can Brandon overcome tough SEC defenses and thrive in Josh Heupel's quarterback-friendly offense, or will the challenges of a difficult SEC schedule–plus playing at Georgia Tech–leave Vols fans unhappy with the final record? Brian Smith breaks down Brandon's unique skill set, potential fit in the Vols' vertical attack, and key showdowns against teams like Auburn, Arkansas, South Carolina, and in-state rival Vanderbilt with fellow 5-star Jared Curtis. Analysis covers the importance of in-game decision-making, adapting to defensive schemes, and how Brandon's development could shape Tennessee's season. Will his raw talent translate to consistent wins, or will SEC pressure prove too much for the freshman phenom? Support us by supporting our sponsors!
