Rocky Top, you’ll always be home sweet home to me, especially after a Tennessee win over Florida. Being back in Knoxville is something the Vols were happy about — Rick Barnes and company got their 20th win of the regular season with a 62-57 win over the Gators in front of a home crowd. By just…

I don’t think General Neyland built the house on 2111 Terrace Ave., just lived there for a couple of years in the 1920s when he was the coached for the…
