<blue font> Any way you can post these in Spanish and Arabic this year given our new national demographics and need to avoid any offense?

<totally non blue font> Great job Fingers and I appreciate what you do and how you do it providing your updates!

For at least the last five years it has been the week of the MLB All-Star game to capitalize on the deadest week on the sports calendar.

The entire series of Fingers-led fall practice threads (and more) summarized:

* Lot of references to Own It.
* One reporter railing against Butch for limiting access or setting conditions on coverage.
* Tons of comments that Dobbs looks great passing the ball.
* Tons of comments that Dormady and/or Guarantano look better passing the ball.
* Two comments not to sleep on Sheriron, who also looks great passing the ball, sometimes.
* Coach Scott will impress us with his leadership on the practice field.
* Hurd is a beast ... Kamara is a beast ... Barnett is a beast ... KMac is a load ... Kongbo is a man!
* Paul Bain sighting or 3.
* Shy looking good in limited contact drills, think his knee is progressing well, he'll be there by the 1st game / 3rd game at latest / by the Alabama game.
* Forums melt down at least twice because of an injury report. Turns out to be less serious than initially thought, but too late, orange and white puddles all over our computer screens.
* Butch is a great leader, said dozens of times.
* Hope he has learned his lesson about in-game decisions, said dozens of times.
* Butch will fail, said at least five times too many.
* Someone will pitch in once or twice to start a practice thread when real life gets in Fingers' way. We'll all appreciate it.
* Some bad-mouthing of Coach Azzanni.
* Circle of Life drills will be the most popular drills again this fall.
* At least one of our very good OLinemen will get thrown on his butt by at least one of our very good DLinemen. Those worried about whether our OL is improved will have a temporary hissy fit. The following day, that OLineman will have an outstanding practice, all will be forgiven.
* Half of VolNation will lament all the talent we're losing after this year, "it's 2016 or never!"
* Half of VolNation will salivate over all the young talent on the team, "the future is bright!"
* D4H will start at least three threads that run to 300+ posts, without anything new really being said by him or any of the other parties in the argument.
* Shoop's got that defense rolling.
* From time to time a freshman will lose his black stripe, we'll all cheer for him. It will rarely be the one most of us think would be net.
* Can't wait, hundreds of comments.
* Is it September 1st yet? hundreds of comments.

There ya go, can now skip 90% of the threads generated in August without missing any content. :)

Honestly I hold my breath after each report because more often than not there are some bad injuries

As a daily reader of the practice reports last year, the main thing I noticed besides overanalyzing video clips was "Injury Watch".

After reading VN's opinion of the 2017 recruiting class so far, August 1st can't get here soon enough for some Vol fans
