“Ramon has been a strong and influential voice for 104.5 The Zone and Zone TV, with over 11 seasons in the NFL and a successful college playing career. This is a natural next step for him, and we are incredibly proud of his achievements. The Zone and Zone TV have been long-time partners of the Vol Network, and we are honored to continue our collaboration as the Nashville affiliate airing the Vol Network.”

As a Big Orange sports fan for 50+ years, w/o hesitation, I support the Vols football program-coaches, players, staff & athletics department- in moving on from the Nico fiasco. The program has enjoyed success, endured adversity, and year after year provided excitement and carried on the traditions that are Big Orange football! Such will continue, and we, the fans, will continue reveling with the accomplishments the teams will reach. There will be, unsurprisingly, low points along the way, but as is the case with fellow SEC members, Big Orange athletics will continue the top quality performances on the gridiron, the hardwood floors, the diamonds and a host of other areas of competition. Go Big Orange!
