The Vol Network will continue its weekly radio series this Saturday called “Vol Network Classics”.

The aim is to give Tennessee fans the chance to relive some of the great moments and games from UT’s history. Each week, a replay of a famous football or basketball game will be broadcast.

The series is planned for a 10-week run Saturdays at 1:00 p.m. on WJLE AM 1480/ FM 101.7 and the Vol Network.

In week #2 of the series Saturday, April 25, fans can hear a rebroadcast of the 2019 SEC Basketball Tournament Semifinal game between #8 Tennessee and #4 Kentucky from March 16, 2019 in Nashville.

The game was a heavyweight back and forth slugfest. Tennessee Coach Rick Barnes compared the contest’s electric atmosphere and high-level play to a Final Four game. With under three minutes to go in the game the Vols were down eight points, but finished the game with a thrilling 18-6 run.

Later in the series, UT basketball fans can catch Tennessee’s first game at Kentucky’s Rupp Arena in 1977 and a top-ranked matchup vs. Memphis in 2008.

On the football side games include the 1986 Sugar Bowl win over Miami, the 1991 “Miracle at South Bend” against Notre Dame and the 2001 victory against Florida.
