Cool Story Bro

[Captain Awesome]

So, I was on vacation last week in Beaver Creek, Colorado. Great place. Our last night, we had a cart loaded to take down to the car and pack. We waited on the elevator. Once it dinged on our floor, it opened up and a man with perfectly groomed hair and a very southern drawl stepped off and said, "Hidee folks," and proceeded to walk on to his room. It was Derek Dooley. I didn't say a word to him because it surprised me so much that he was gone before I realized what was happening and I just wasn't expecting to see him in Beaver Creek, Colorado on a Friday night in March on the floor we'd been staying on the whole week. Crazy.

Better you than me.

 

[vols 30]

You should've said "the Cowboys suck"

 

[VolAllen]

Should have asked him to sign your Butch Please shirt.

 

[BenGrimm]

Were you wearing any TN gear?

 

[865dude]

I met him a couple times when he was here. Seemed like a nice guy, just not an sec head coach

 

[barknoxbrawler]

Should have asked him if he needed a stool and a crutch holder for his ride on the elevator.

 

[james_govols]

I thought his hair may have just been for tv. I guess I was wrong.

 

[YankeeVol]

You should have kicked him right in the jimmy

"I stayed with this man in Colorado. His name was Captain Awesome and his man parts were this big."

 

[Give_All_Vol]

Haha wow. Yeah, I probably would have had the same dumbfounded reaction.

Hidee folks bahaha

Hidee folks bahaha

What an odd greeting. Can you imagine someone coming in your house to recruit and saying "hidee folks"?

I'd feel like my son was being recruited by Mr. Rogers. Or the neighbor from tool time.

I had actually just taken off my Tennessee hoodie because I got hot right before we went to load the car. I would love to have seen if there were any reaction if I had been.

I'll second this motion. All in favor?

 

[ainge10heisman]

I'll second this motion. All in favor?

Or spit on his shoes.

 

[joevol33]

Or spit on his shoes.

That would work also.

 

[Coug]

You should have asked him for showering tips.

Mr Rogers was/is a Marine.

 

[utvolpj]

Mr Rogers was/is a Marine.

Nope, urban legend

Cool story bro.

I got no ill will towards Dooley. Nice guy who was in over his head. Not his fault he shouldn't have been hired. Anybody would have taken the job.

 

[Obsessed]

Lol

I'm glad some one got it.


Cool story OP. Regardless of his time at UT, I would like to meet him.

 

[PowerT83]

Not a bad guy at all, I thought he was gonna be good after the first season, when I seen the Orange dog tho....

While all that's true, I think a lot of the hate comes from the way he carried himself, especially his last year.
