Chance Hall was a former Hokies recruit from Roanoke Northside who started 7 games at right offensive tackle last season for Tennessee. His return date is questionable, although the injury is "not ACL related." The Vols are inexperienced at both offensive tackle. Left tackle Drew Richmond is a redshirt freshman and was the Vols top recruiting target for offensive linemen in the class of 2015, but he redshirted last season.
I have not seen reports on it (doesn't mean that they are not there), but I have heard rumblings that true freshman Nigel Warrior has pushed one of the Vols returning starting safeties to nickleback with his strong play. Warrior is the son of Vols legend Dale Carter.

Nigel Warrior
that is an awesome name
His Dad would be so proud
Hope the best for him and that he can be back Sept 17th!
Roanoke kid. I am surprised the Hokies were not more engaged with him as an OL prospect. The Vols are very thin at offensive tackle.
I hope this means we can get them into a lot of pressure situations with our front 4. Forcing some turnovers is how we will need to win the Battle at Bristol.
Having Dobbs back there still makes me nervous as hell.
Damn mobile qbs...thorn in our side...yada yada
With that many OL problems for UT, that means it's time to us to......Settle in.
I'll see myself out now.
I don't mean to be unsportsmanlike about this, but HOT DAMN ! :--)
Not only is it unsportsmanlike, but I don't want any excuses when we beat their ass. I want all their guys as healthy as I want ours.
Meh.... I just want the win. Don't give a shit if they don't think we deserved it as long as we get the win.
I think you underestimate the excuse-making abilities of excuse-makers. They'll find something regardless.
Excuses are fine, but no matter how good they are, they don't equate to a W in the book. I'll be just fine on the W end of the spectrum.
Excuses from UT fans are unavoidable. It's more excuses in the court of public opinion that I'm talking about.
...then again, they are in the SEC and excuses will be made regardless.
I just don't want any player to get hurt. No matter what team they are one. Sure there are loads i wouldn't mind seeing get punched in the face and I would laugh my ass off if Teller (or anyone) pancaked him into the ground, but no need to be happy about the injury of another. I realize that is not what OldCorps is doing, rather being excited about the opportunity it presents to VT and our DL, but it reads incorrectly.
Hope he heals up better than new and gets back out there soon.
Yeah you're right, darn it. Need to stop posting immediately after having a few drinks.
something something SEC depth
Tenn OT problems + Bud Foster legendary VT D = Tennessee QB pre-game scary dreams:
Did I just watch 10 people die? At least the last person on the very left.
Every one of those people need a psych eval. That is crazy.
This is Jaws, North shore of Maui. Started as a heavy windsurfing spot, now heavy tow-in spot. Intense big wave paddle-in surfers still go after it on certain swell types. The place is WAY outside and can get like this gif. You have to make a life-death decision before getting in the water. You better have trained intensely to handle this, and most of those guys out there do this religiously.
That's cool and all, but still crazy. Thanks for the info though.
Who is the kid from Ft. Chiswell playing for UT? I'll bet half the town will be in Bristol that day.
Coleman Thomas
That guy was huge in person! My high school, John Battle, was never good at football but they did have a play-off year back in 2012 and I went to watch them play Fort Chiswell and get the win. The win required a field goal and the kicker missed the snap, but ended up throwing a pass to the endzone. Great game. Coleman Thomas looked good.
Hoping Chance Hall the best and a return to football on the 17th!
I got to play against him my senior year and I think he was a freshman? But he had always been a big kid. Went to a few pitching camps at John Battle. Always felt like going to the minors there considering playing in the MED
hey! my wife is from Ft. Chiswell.
I'd hate to be relegated to the nickleback role. That's some rough listening.
that's funny...but 1)is that a real tweet or photo-shopped? and 2)if it is a real tweet...is that a verified account?
Because Dave Grohl has a great sense of humor but I can't really see him tearing down other musicians like that..he seems like the kind of guy who loves all types of musicians (I was at his 4th of July concert in DC 2015) so I have a hard time believing that he would trash Nickelback
Imposter account of his.... But funny as hell nonetheless
Godammit, now I got every nickelback rolling through my head, they are so Canadian and catchy as hell!
Soory. Have a doughnut.
Is it from Tim Hortons?
Timmy Ho's!!!!!!
Eh?!
Put Settle at D end and tell let him bull rush the newb tackle.
No excuses. It isn't an ideal situation, but not as dire as it would have been two years ago.
Welcome to The Key Play! Hope you have a nice experience here. There is one other Tenn fan I can think of with an account. As the game draws nearer there will be a considerable uptick in banter and friendly jabs back and forth. Keep it clean and have fun.
I always try to be on my best behavior in someone else's house. I'll go ahead and let you know up front I'm not one of the trolls that will surely show up,
Friendly banter is welcomed though.
I just hope that you enjoy your time here. Pro-tip : when replying to a specific comment, don't type it in the box at the bottom of the thread. Instead, hit the reply button nested in the bottom right corner of the specific comment's box. Makes it easier to follow.
Gotcha. Thanks
No worries. You'll do just fine here
Welcome dude. I wish we had more fans of other schools dropping by.
Welcome to the fun
Did we mention the Key Players Club.....?
Just kidding.....
By definition I think you've already reached troll status?
What?
Checking to see his response....naturally curious when someone says I'm here to comment but I'm not a troll. Then commences to troll. It's only natural to wonder when you go to opposition boards set up an account then start commenting....
I believe the normal standard here is "innocent until trolling happens". I like when fans of other programs contribute here.
As long as they aren't UVA fans... Joking aside, the OSU fans the last 2 years have been great to interact with. Welcome aboard!
Welcome! We've had a lot of good conversations with people who root for other schools here. I think there is an Ohio State guy who still posts here from time to time.
Well I don't approve of you at all, [opposing team] fan.
.... did I do it right?
I hope Fuente does a better job keeping TN out.
Shockwave, is that you?
No.
Holy shit I had that one. It had purple lights at the end of the barrel. I do not remember his name
That is Shockwave, the Shockwave. Still have my original lol.
Dude. Awesome.
Fair warning to all: I have heard from MoD and now allvol that Tennessee trolls will show up during game week. MoD told me he's doing his best to steer them in the direction of TSL and other Hokie message boards. But be aware that we may see some shockwaving and bendering around here in the next few weeks.
It would be awesome if we all just ignored them completely.
I think you misspelled "Down vote them into oblivion," but, yeah, I'm totally with you on this.
Might be a good week to sell Volunteer gear then.
I'll bring in backup.
I've been waiting for this.

Something...something...opinions.
I'm glad we can have friendly conversations with other team fans - I'd like to think there's a TKP equivalent for every fan base!
If Tennessee has one, I haven't seen it.
No other fan base has the balanced, humorous, detailed content that we get here on TKP. Its the best, hands down.
We like words, we have the best words.
And Emma gifs.
Yeah, she's really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren't happily married and, ya know, she weren't basically the daughter of this website.....
I thought TKP was the mother of all websites.......now I'm confused.
Please...
and we're going to make VT great again
AND MAKE UVA LOSE FOR IT!
Except, y'know, actually.
Can any UT fans point us in the direction of a good site? I know there's more of a rivary factor here, but one of the things that made the OSU games so much fun was the interaction with elevenwarriors (and the constant misreading as "elven warriors").
Good UT site
Oh man....it's football season!! I missed the rival coaches!
Hey allvol, mod, is there a UT fan site like this one where we can cross banter a bit?
ElevenWarriors was the obvious one for Ohio State, curious to know what the best Tenn site is.
Most SEC sites are brutal. There are some really good folks on all of them, but a lot of pr!@%$ too. They eat their own that don't agree with them as well as rival fans. That's all of SEC land. Volnation is a place I read a lot, but mostly their recruiting forum.
Volnation is a pretty good site. I joined it a month ago and have engaged in several good conversations. There are some pretty cool fans and also some true A holes that seem offended by me chiming in. ButchPlz..is a real douchbag on there!
You have to expect Butch's side girl to be defensive. That is what the name means, right?
