Clinton can take great pride in its Civil Rights stance of the 1950s

by Steve Williams | Jan 17, 2016 | Archives, Columnist, Stories In This Week's Focus:, Williams

By Steve Williams I am proud of the hometown I grew up in and the high school I graduated from for a unique reason, and with this being Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, there’s no better time to express these feelings. Clinton High was the first state-supported public...

Vol legend Dale Jones will be here in September, or sooner if needed

by Steve Williams | Jan 11, 2016 | Columnist, Williams

By Steve Williams One way or the other, Dale Jones will be at Neyland Stadium on Sept. 3. I sure would like to see him at the 2016 season opener on the Tennessee sideline as the Vols’ new defensive coordinator instead of on the other side coaching inside linebackers...

Peterman, former Vol QB, makes remarkable turnaround at Pitt

by Steve Williams | Dec 7, 2015 | Columnist, Williams

By Steve Williams I thought Nathan Peterman was the worst starting quarterback to play for the University of Tennessee since the Vols switched from the old single wing to the T formation in the mid-1960s. That opinion began soon after Butch Jones started Peterman...
