I either want to walk down the aisle to this or have it played as my coffin goes into the flames.5 Maria FriedmanFriedman is surely one of our finest interpreters of Sondheim’s work but I don’t think she has ever had the opportunity to play Sally.

The fullness of her tone creates a much richer sound to the song which is, well, just lovely. Cook manages the not-inconsiderable feat of making her impassioned interpretation seem entirely effortless, her shimmering soprano flowing with beautiful emotion.3 Julia McKenzieLondon’s original Sally, McKenzie played the role at the Shaftesbury Theatre and was nominated for an Olivier (losing to Nichola McAuliffe for Kiss Me Kate). Barbara Cook – A choice made all the more poignant by Cook’s passing last week, this rendition comes from the 1985 recording at the Lincoln Centre where she played Sally in a staged concert.

Another one-sided defeat seemingly was waiting at Jordan-Hare Stadium, since the 21st-ranked Tigers were 4-2 with an upset of sixth-ranked Washington.īut quarterback Jarrett Guarantano had one of his best games, passing for 323 yards and two touchdowns as UT ended an 11-game SEC losing streak.Īuburn likely felt even worse a week later when Tennessee lost to Alabama 58-21. Tennessee stumbled to a 2-3 start, with the losses by a combined 78 points.

This was one of the most surprising victories in Pruitt’s three seasons. Not only did the victory assure the Vols of a winning season in 2019, it prevented the Commodores from winning a fourth consecutive game in the series. Having to forfeit that victory, and the one before it against the Commodores, would leave Tennessee with a historic five-game losing streak to their in-state rival. The last victory of the Pruitt era ended a six-game losing streak. They manhandled the Wildcats before losing their last two games to Missouri and Vanderbilt by a combined count of 88-30.

The Vols, who already had lost five games, didn’t just beat Kentucky in a continuation of a lopsided series. But Tennessee quickly reminded them, “We own you.” The Wildcats entered Neyland Stadium in November 2018 with a 7-2 record and No. TENNESSEE FOOTBALL PUNISHMENT?: What Tennessee football and former coach Jeremy Pruitt could get in NCAA penaltiesĪfter a disastrous 2-5 start, the Vols had closed out Pruitt’s second season on a six-game winning streak, which left fans thinking, “Maybe, this coach isn’t as much of a dolt as we thought.” Tennessee 24, Kentucky 7 in 2018 Remember when Tennessee seemingly had a victory locked up against BYU in the second game of the 2019 season? That was before its defensive backs - Pruitt's alleged position of expertise - so lost contact with Cougars receivers they might have been afflicted with sudden blindness. Giving back victories is nothing new for the Vols. The closest UT came to even thinking about an SEC title was when a few of its less astute fans found hope in Pruitt’s puzzling declaration that the Vols were “closing the gap” on Alabama. What will be UT’s penalty?įorfeiture of victories is virtually a sure bet, since some players were ineligible under NCAA rules while the Vols were rolling to 16 wins in 35 games during Pruitt’s three-year reign of error.Īt least they aren’t having to give back a conference championship. Now, another waiting game has kicked off. About a year and a half later, the NCAA provided confirmation, alleging the Vols were guilty of 18 Level 1 violations. UT’s internal investigation pointed to massive cheating under former coach Jeremy Pruitt. The NCAA tests your patience, as Tennessee football fans can attest.
