Power-T Talk is back! After a three month hiatus, Daniel and Zack grab their microphones and go around campus to give us an update on each of the main three sports over the last three months. After some life updates and overall buzz about the offseason with college football, the discussion moves to the Vols Football team with Chaz Coleman's departure and what to expect from Jim Knowles' defense in year one (along with tidy QB talk). Then, the impact the transfers will have in Rick Barnes' pursuit of his first national title (and some Vols NBA talk). Then, Daniel gives us his grade on Josh Elander's first year as baseball coach. To finish it up, we go Around The NCAA and the impact of the Brandon Sorsby saga will have long-term.
