Wiedmer: Men in black turn Gamecocks into fumblin’ pumpkins
KNOXVILLE — Lane Kiffin looked around the media room following Tennessee’s 31-13 victory over No. 21 South Carolina late Saturday night.

Wiedmer: Vols’ choice of black grim for Gamecocks
KNOXVILLE — Like any sensible 9-year-old, Matthew Grim watched the opening kickoff of Saturday night’s South Carolina-Tennessee game from the closed comfort of Neyland Stadium’s press box rather than outside in the cold rain.

Wiedmer: Smith has Vols excited
Tyler Smith was never going to be a University of Tennessee basketball lifer. Not with one of the most versatile skill sets in the Southeastern Conference. Not with AAU buddies such as Thaddeus Young, Corey Brewer and Jamont Gordon already playing for pay.

Wiedmer: Five games in, Chizik tops Kiffin

Wiedmer: Beating the Bobcats won't ease nerves in Big Orange nation
KNOXVILLE -- Let's pretend you're Ohio football coach Frank Solich. You've got fourth-and-goal at the Tennessee 1-yard line midway through Saturday night's third period. You trail the Volunteers 24-17 at that moment, a stunning score given that UT entered this contest a 23-point favorite.
