Sorry for the delay between posts. I went on vacation with the family right after my last post and got back in time to get the kids ready to return to school last week. Here are a few of the stories you might have missed since then.
- Tennessee has a report on the upcoming season.
- The team will make at least four appearances on TV this year. The Vols won their last two televised matches in 2016, and could make it their first three-match winning streak since 2012 with a win vs Arkansas.

- The AVCA Coaches Poll has been released. The Vols will play six matches vs teams in the top 25: #4 Minnesota, #12 Florida (twice), #14 Kentucky, #15 Florida State, and #19 Missouri. The team will also face Texas A&M who are an unofficial #37 adding up the “others receiving votes”.
- John Adams, of the local Knoxville News Sentinel, warns that those still fighting for the restoration of the Lady Vols name and logo probably need to give up as the new chancellor and athletic director don’t appear interested in revisiting the issue.
