Derek Barnett’s Super Bowl performance and the talk of Tennessee Vols basketball lead our Volunteers periscope video show for Monday, Feb. 5, 2018.
Happy Monday to everybody in Tennessee Vols country. This is one of the biggest weeks of the year with National Signing Day on Wednesday, a recap of the Super Bowl in the works for today, and basketball season in full swing.
We talk about all of that on our video show today. Obviously, it starts with a recap of the Super Bowl and its relevance to one former Tennessee Vols player.
But men’s and women’s basketball still have storylines. And recruiting is getting more and more interesting by the second. So there’s a lot to cover.
With that said, here is our Tennessee Vols periscope video show for Monday, Feb. 5. And as always, you can see our summary of the show below.

1. Derek Barnett has a memorable Super Bowl performance.
He didn’t accrue many stats, but Derek Barnett made one play that makes him a Tennessee Vols legend in the future. Sometimes that’s all it takes, and for him, that was all it took. Recovering a Tom Brady fumble to clinch the Super Bowl for the Eagles can’t be understated.
2. Stop saying the Tennessee Vols are underrated in men’s basketball.
Tennessee basketball is NOT underrated. We need to get this out there. As of right now, the Vols’ resume has them exactly where they need to be. However, talk throughout the weekend was about Tennessee not getting the credit it deserves in the national polls. With its current resume, it’s getting exactly the credit it deserves. So we need to end this misconception.
3. Recruiting is looking good.
Tennessee football scored big with a number of recruiting visits over the weekend. Most notably, Isaac Taylor Stuart and Emmit Gooden has solid visits. And that was crucial for this team going forward.
4. Tennessee Lady Vols back on track.
After beating the Vanderbilt Commodores, the Tennessee Lady Vols have their first multi-game win streak since before they suffered their first loss on the season. Can they continue?
