This installment will focus on the 1902 and 1903 seasons and the tenure of head coach H.F. Fisher.

Fisher, who replaced George Kelley on Rocky Top, was also a Princeton graduate as was his predecessor. He went 10-7 in two seasons with the Volunteers.

He began his two-year stay in Knoxville by posting a 6-2 record in 1902.

That year, Tennessee opened the campaign with shutouts of King College and Maryville College before losing to Vanderbilt, 12-5. All those games were played at home as was the Vols’ 6-0 victory over Sewanee, a team that had been a nemesis for UT in previous seasons.

Tennessee also had wins over Mississippi, Nashville and Georgia Tech before closing the season with an 11-0 loss to Clemson at home to close out the campaign.

In 1903, the Vols went 4-5 and had wins over Maryville and Carson-Newman before losing to the Commodores.

KNOXVILLE — University of Tennessee football is rich in tradition and Vols Wire will explore the history of the program by examining each head coach’s tenure at Tennessee.

This installment will focus on the 1899 and 1900 seasons on Rocky Top.

The 1899 season was the first year that Tennessee had a head coach.

In two seasons, Pierce went 9-4-1.

In 1899, the Vols went 6-2, posting a season-opening victory over King College, 11-5.

Tennessee football history: 1896-1898

KNOXVILLE — University of Tennessee football is rich in tradition and Vols Wire will explore the history of the program by examining each head coach’s tenure with the Volunteers.

This installment will look at Tennessee’s football program during the 1896 and 1897 seasons.

After an abysmal 1893 campaign, UT’s Athletic Association officially dropped varsity football. W.B. Stokely, a senior and transfer student from Wake Forest, persuaded some other athletes on campus to field a team. He was then elected captain.

For two seasons, the team competed but did not officially represent the school. The squad went 5-2-3 during those two years.

In 1896, varsity football officially returned to Tennessee and began competing in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association. It remained in the conference until 1920.

Upon officially returning, the Vols went undefeated in 1896. Posting a 4-0 record, Tennessee had wins over Williamsburg Institute, Chattanooga Athletic Club, Virginia Tech and Central University.

UT had three games that year and played all of its games in-state, the lone road game was in Chattanooga.

In 1897, the Vols went 4-1, beating King College, Williamsburg Institute, Virginia Tech and Bristol Athletic Club.

The Vols’ lone loss was to North Carolina in Knoxville where the Tar Heels won 16-0. Tennessee had shutouts in each of its four wins.

The program did not field a team in 1898 due to the Spanish-American War.

Tennessee football history: 1893

The University of Tennessee has fielded a football team since 1891.

UT lost the season-opening contest to Kentucky A&M, 56-0, in Knoxville. The Vols then were defeated, 64-0, at Wake Forest, followed by a 70-0 loss at Trinity in Durham, N.C. The final loss of the season came on Nov. 7 in Chapel Hill, N.C. as Tennessee suffered a 60-0 defeat to North Carolina.

Tennessee football history: 1894-1895

KNOXVILLE — University of Tennessee football is rich in tradition and Vols Wire will explore the history of the program by examining each season on the gridiron.

This installment will look at the 1894 and 1895 seasons on Rocky Top. These campaigns are considered the lost years as they were not counted as official games or seasons.

After a disastrous 1893 season that saw Tennessee go 2-4 and get shut out in all four of its losses, the school’s Athletic Association decided to officially drop varsity football and concentrate its efforts on baseball.

The Vols closed the 1893 season with victories over Maryville College and Asheville Athletic Club, still only two players were willing to admit that they actually played for the team.

If not for W.B. Stokely, a transfer student from Wake Forest, Tennessee may not have the tradition and history that it has today.

Stokley persuaded some student-athletes to form a team and he was later elected captain. He provided encouragement and leadership for the team, which did not officially represent the university.

In 1894, the Vols recorded an undefeated season, going 2-0-2. The following year, the Vols were 3-2-1.

In 1896, Tennessee football officially returned and the Vols began competing in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association where they remained until 1920.

Tennessee sports betting: Is legal sports betting available in Tennessee?

Is sports betting legal in Tennessee? We look at the latest information.

Yes, sports betting in Tennessee is legal, but not available yet.

Sports betting in Tennessee

Republican Governor Bill Lee let a sports wagering bill become state law despite the fact he did not sign the bill. He said he allowed the bill to become law because it did not include casino gambling expansion or any other gambling expansion.

Tennessee passed H001, a mobile sports betting bill which allows the Volunteer State to collect revenue from domestic mobile sports betting.

From Nashville’s WRKN.com, “The rules still need the lottery board’s approval at a yet-to-be-scheduled meeting. Then the lottery would begin taking applications for companies looking to run online sportsbooks in the state, among other entities seeking licenses to get involved at various levels.”

Betting on the state’s college teams will be permitted, but in-game play – or “Live” bets – on collegiate events will not.

Online sportsbooks in Tennessee

None – at the moment.

Tennessee residents are permitted to use mobile sportsbooks to use official league data for wagering. However, there are no mobile or online betting sites available yet. A major sticking point has been a “parlay” rule. If one selection in the parlay ends in a tie, most books consider that a push, allowing the bettor to win the next-lowest level parlay payoff (Ex: A 4-team parlay that is 3-0-1 will pay as a 3-teamer). However, Tennessee wants a parlay that includes a tie to be a losing bet.

Retail sportsbooks in Tennessee

None.

In the meantime, if Vols want to get their gambling fix, in the eastern part of the state they can take a ride through the Smoky Mountains to Cherokee, N.C. In the western part of the state they can head across the Mississippi River to nearby West Memphis, Ark.
