  • Tennessee Vols fan Jeff Comeaux Skips Work, Coldplayed at Georgia game, goes Viral as Sad Meme Star

    Tennessee Vols fan Jeff Comeaux Skips Work, Coldplayed at Georgia game, goes Viral as Sad Meme Star
    Sep 24 2025
    Game on, y’all—this week on Superfan Diaries, I sit down with Tennessee Volunteers legend-in-the-making Jeff Comeaux, the Knoxville-born, UT alum whose VolCam moment turned a missed kick into a viral meme and a million hushed heartbeats inside Neyland Stadium. In my voice from the huddle: we rewind to the Johnny Majors years, the ’98 national championship night I stormed the field in a big orange tux, and the electric first glimpses of Peyton Manning, then fast-forward to the Tennessee–Georgia thriller where one camera shot changed Jeff’s life—and maybe the Vols’ karma. Was he really “the kicker’s dad”? What did he tell work before slipping into those third-row seats? And how do Billy Strings, the College World Series, and a pair of Florida upsets tie into a vow about the next five years in Knoxville? Lace up and hit play—because the story behind that meme, that miss, and that Rocky Top resolve is bigger than a headline and too good to spoil. Learn more about your ad choices.
