  • (Used to be) Best Vols pod

    Unfortunately the heart and soul of this podcast has left. I still appreciate these guy’s analysis, but it seemed like Wes Rucker was the only one who knew how to make a podcast. Now all production value is gone and it’s just a pretty bland listening experience.

  • Hands down the best Vols podcast!

    I listen to a lot of Tennessee podcasts, since I have a 45 minute commute to work. GOVOLS247 is easily the most insightful, fun, and entertaining of the Tennessee athletic podcasts out there. It has a relaxed/focused vibe, and can also be really funny at times. And each journalist offers significant insight into what they’re covering. Go Vols!

  • Sweet addition

    Ben was the perfect addition. Great show.

    Updating- great insights and group to talk Vols football. Been following Ben since he was a college kid at Swain Event. Amazing to see him grow to be our go to guy for basketball, baseball and football.

    He’ll beat the C and get back to his hectic life and kids. Prayers and thoughts.

    Love the show. Highly Recommend!!

  • Great Coverage of the Vols

    Great coverage of Tennessee football, basketball and baseball. Long time listener. The podcast has really improved since Ben joined 247. The DiamondVols podcasts with VFL Will Heflin are fantastic. They’ve expanded their coverage on YouTube so you can watch there if that is your preference. Great podcast that is in my regular rotation.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tennessee suffers an UGLY loss at South Carolina | GoVols247 Postgame Show
Q: What did you make of George McIntyre?
The hosts say McIntyre was mostly effective and made several good throws, while acknowledging that his fourth-down miscommunication and late fumble were costly. They debate whether those mistakes warrant reconsidering the quarterback choice, but generally favor keeping him in the role.
Tennessee suffers an UGLY loss at South Carolina | GoVols247 Postgame Show
Q: What do you think about Josh Heupel going for it on fourth down?
Ryan Callahan says he did not object to the decision because Tennessee was outside comfortable field-goal range, but the team needed to communicate and execute the play properly after the timeout.
BYE WEEK MAILBAG: Tennessee's QB future, November predictions, portal strategy and more
Q: What should Tennessee's transfer portal strategy be this offseason?
The hosts expect retention to be a priority, particularly on defense, while identifying needs on the defensive and offensive lines. They estimate Tennessee could add five or six starter-quality players, with the total depending on departures.

Q: Is Tennessee's quarterback for the 2027 season currently on the roster?
Ryan Callahan says the outcome depends on the final four games, but believes the most likely scenario is that George McIntyre keeps the job and starts next season. The hosts note that Tennessee could still consider another current quarterback or the transfer portal.
Third Saturday in October preview with the Vol Network's Jayson Swain and Bama247's Mike Rodak
Q: What do you feel most confident about with Alabama going into this matchup? Why would Alabama win this game?
Rodak says Alabama could win if Keelan Russell plays as effectively as he did in strong road performances and the defense creates turnovers, while Tennessee could capitalize if Russell struggles with pressure and the environment.
