| Sorry VolsDoc, I don't get over to Ponte Vedra too often...LOL.
I'm sure his Dad will take care of talking up UT, if he even has to.
I had the chance to be around Bill Bates a couple years ago when I was working Ponte Vedra High when it first opened. He is a heck of a nice guy.

Dep | Since you are retired now, pretty sure that VN will fund the trip over for you...
Bill Bates is truly salt of the earth (overall good guy for the young uns on here) | |

Bill Bates is truly salt of the earth (overall good guy for the young uns on here) | Not retired quite yet. Not until the 29th anyway.
Looks like the last time I'll wear my uniform will be for a funeral. The Sheriff who hired me and spent 20 years as Sheriff, passed away yesterday. His funeral will probably be next week.
He had been retired about 8 years. He was a fine man and a great leader. He'll be missed.

Dep | Sorry for your loss. I hate to hear your day in uniform will be for a funeral. I don't live in your community but that thank you for your service.
I would gladly say the same to anyone willing to put their lives on the line to protect and serve their community and country. | |

| I really really wish I could think about Bill Bates without hearing "my God, a freshman" in my head. | |

"Just the whole state of Tennessee supports them and I think that's pretty cool to think about. Great program. I know about their new facilities, they look awesome," Bates said. "That's pretty cool. Just that it's SEC and thats pretty cool."

Bates already holds 11 offers and has the attention of numerous other schools. The Vols have yet to offer but even if they do he said he wants to keep an open mind about his recruitment.
