#Butch Jones

Would it surprise you to learn that Butch Jones won more bowl games at Tennessee than Robert Neyland did? It surprised me, and I've spent a fair amount of time over the past four decades studying Vol football lore. The Orange Bowl date with Clemson at the end of the month further enriches a busy history. This will be either Tennessee's 30 bowl…

It's nice for this game to having real meaning again, beyond that of bragging rights and "talk shit on Twitter," supremacy.

It's around 8:30 p.m. ET last Saturday night and I'm finally getting around to watching college football on television after an epic day of sports in San Diego.
