KNOXVILLE, Tenn — A clip from after Tennessee's loss to Missouri has gone viral on social media.
The video was taken by SEC Network in the postgame handshake encounter between Vols head coach Josh Heupel and Tigers head coach Eli Drinkwintz.
"We stand on business, Josh," Drinkwitz said and then he immediately turned around and walked away after a brief handshake.
The phrase is another way of saying we take care of business.
Drinkwitz has publicly taken shots at UT over the NCAA violations under the Jeremy Pruitt era where he was tongue in cheek about what happened.
UT ran up the score on Missouri in 2021 and 2022, totaling over 60 points in each contest. There seems to be bad blood between both programs.
Heupel was asked for a comment about the postgame handshake and statement on Thursday at his weekly press conference.
"I really didn't hear it when we were out there at the handshake," Heupel said. "We have moved well on to the game that we got this week."
No. 18 Tennessee plays No. 1 Georgia inside Neyland Stadium at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday.
