"He that beareth a torch shadoweth himself that he may give light to others." Congratulations to @jthomUT on receiving the Torchbearer Award - the highest honor for an undergraduate student at @UTKnoxville recognizing service, leadership & the Volunteer Spirit.

In 2009, during the NBA All-Star Game, Kevin Garnett hijacked an interview he was doing to roast reporter Craig Sager's salmon-colored suit. Garnett bluntly suggested Sager burn it.

Same vibe.

Tennesse walking into the Elite 8 for the 3rd year in a row

Sweet 16 by category part two 🍀

Tennessee is in the Elite 8 and we are sitting at home 💀

The Vol effect
