- Knoxville News Sentinel cartoonist Bill Dyer was determined to get into the press box at what was then Shields-Watkins Field. His strategy to watch the Vols in real time quickly became a cornerstone of football time in Tennessee.
⠀
Dyer started at the News Sentinel in 1935, and published the very first Dyergram that same year.
⠀
The Dyergram was Dyer's cartoonist approach to recapping football. Every Sunday, the paper would publish his diagram, a chart that marked downs, running plays, kicks, passes, penalties, fumbles and more. But what made it truly unique were the additional illustrations that filled the sidelines. There, Dyer sketched out his witty dialogue boxes and charming characters to bring the matches to life.

- DaSaahn Brame immediately became one of Tennessee's most important players when tight end Ethan Davis suffered a season-ending ACL injury.
Brame, a sophomore tight end, should make the biggest jump in the depth chart to replace Davis. But others could factor in as the Vols try to retool their offensive plan after losing a valuable player.
Davis suffered the knee injury in the Vols' 45-24 win over Georgia Tech on Sept. 12. Coach Josh Heupel announced on Sept. 14 that he will miss the remainder of the season.

- Tennessee football tight end Ethan Davis is out for the rest of the season after suffering an ACL injury in the Vols' 45-24 win over Georgia Tech on Sept. 12.
Coach Josh Heupel delivered the bad news during his weekly press conference on Sept. 14.
"Ethan Davis (with) an ACL injury will be gone for the remainder of the year," Heupel said. "I hate it for Ethan because of the work that he put in and his growth as a person and the player, and now his season is cut short. But the next guy has got to be prepared and take advantage of the opportunity."

- Arion Carter returns from suspension for Tennessee football vs Georgia Tech

- Description
- Tennessee linebacker Arion Carter made eight tackles in his 2026 season debut on Sept. 12 against Georgia Tech.
Carter will donate $427 for each tackle he makes this season, $500 for each sack, $1,000 for each interception or forced fumble and $5,000 for each defensive touchdown he scores.
The dollar amount for each tackle is a poke at the NCAA, which suspended Carter for one game after he accepted a $427 flight to an NFL pre-draft training facility. The NCAA still declared it an impermissible benefit, although they lessened the suspension from two games to one.
