The latest edition of the GoVols247 Podcast features the TRIO of Ben McKee, Ryan Callahan and Patrick Brown -- for one segment, at least -- catching you up after a busy weekend of Tennessee sports. We start with spring football with Patrick and Ryan sharing the latest they've seen and heard on campus as Josh Heupel's Vols roll through spring ball. We discuss the latest developments with the defensive line, including an injury and the absence of legendary position coach Rodney Garner. It's Andrew Jackson running the show and a couple of transfers making the noise and trying to make an impact. Ryan gives us a quick update on Tennessee's important spring recruiting visits as well. But the focus of the show is Tennessee beating Miami (Ohio) and Virginia in the NCAA tournament to reach a fourth straight Sweet 16. Ben and Patrick look back on the two wins in Philadelphia and ahead to the matchup with Iowa State in Chicago on Friday night. And we ended our discussion with a debate ... should Tennessee root for Alabama to upset Michigan in the other game in the Midwest Region or not?
