Images from the Tennessee Vols' celebration on Saturday after beating Alabama are still flooding in on social media.
It'll take a while to watch all of the videos of the craziness that went down after the memorable win against the Crimson Tide.
There's one video, however, that stuck out to me as soon as I saw it.
A Twitter user posted a video of the Vols singing "we don't give a damn about the whole state of Alabama" in the locker room after the win.
Backup quarterback Joe Milton — the guy who lost his job to Hendon Hooker last season after two starts — was the player leading Tennessee in singing after the game.
That says a lot about this Vols team. It would be easy for Milton to be bitter after losing his job. But instead, Milton and Hooker have become as close as brothers. And their relationship is a microcosm of the vibe that surrounds the entire team.
Part of the reason the Vols are off to a 6-0 start and are a legitimate national championship contender is because of the family environment that Josh Heupel and his staff have created.
And that was never more evident than in the moments after the game when Milton was leading the celebration.
This team, it's special.
