This is the show for exclusive interviews with top athletes, coaches, and sports experts from Knoxville and East Tennessee.
It features standout guests like University of Tennessee Vols stars, high school phenoms from Knoxville, Chattanooga, Maryville, Sevierville, and Johnson City, plus renowned high school, college, and travel team coaches. I’ve also welcomed comedians passionate about sports.
As a proud Vols fan, I spotlight the best of UT athletics and regional talent. Suggest a guest for the show...I’d love to hear from you!
In every interview, we discuss recruiting, and the guest shares an unforgettable sports memory...either as an athlete or as a fan.
