So, in an effort to make this spring feel as much like actual football season, I figured I'd start this thread.
What's everyone up to this weekend? Watching March Madness? I'm definitely planning on catching a couple of the games tonight and the rest of the weekend, for sure.
Being a fan of the underdog, it was nice to see a No. 11 (Xavier) seed advance last night.
Anyone watching the baseball Vols? They start a three-game series against Mississippi State tonight. After getting swept at home by South Carolina, our guys really need to bounce back this weekend. Vol66 does a great job posting about the games in the baseball forum, so I'll likely be following along there.
Anyone have any thoughts on the announcement of Tennessee's hire of Eric Lewis as defensive quality control assistant? Obviously, it's not a major position, but I like this trend with Butch of hiring guys with experience, and Lewis has been around. He has experience coaching the defensive backfield and he's been a defensive coordinator. Lewis was also a defensive QC guy for the Green Bay Packers.
As I mentioned in that thread, I like this trend with Butch of hiring experienced guys. It's really astounding to look at how many of the coaches on this current staff have been a coordinator, a head coach, and/or worked in the NFL. If Butch will work to his strengths as a program manager and utilize the abundance of experience on this staff, I think this could be a really solid group of coaches.
It's been a fairly quiet first couple of days of spring practice. We've gotten to see a little bit of both quarterbacks, and it seems to me like this is going to be more of a battle than some think.
I'm looking forward to seeing both Dormandy and Guarantano in the spring game; that should give us all something to debate tirelessly during the long summer months with no football.
On the defensive front, it's been good to see Tuttle, McKenzie and Alexis Johnson all out there on the field. We need those guys on the field this year.
So, chime in, post your thoughts on football, non-football, or let us know what exciting things you're getting into this weekend, so those of us with no plans can be envious.
Thanks for reading and Go Vols!
