Larry Smith. Retired. Be 70 in December. Worked in IT for 48 years with 3 different companies in Nashville. Now golf 3-4 times per week and live in Mount Juliet.
Been a member of the Tennessee Fund since its inception in 1986. A donor.
Have 14 season tickets in Section B. All about the 35 yard line. Have had season tickets since 1976.
Know many people in the athletic department. Don't talk with as much anymore as I did even 5 years ago. Over the 50 years (starting going in 1965) I have been going to UT games I have made hundreds of friends that are fans of Tennessee and much closer to many in the athletic department than even I am. That is the reason I don't have to stay plugged into the AD as much anymore. I rarely have to call people for information. Lot of people contact me and keep me up to date.
I have many friends in the media. Hubbs, Lewis, Brice, Rucker, Low, Callahan to name a few. Have known most several years and some a decade or more.
Was close with Coach Fulmer and assistants on his staff for several years. Still communicate with coach. Know many players and their families going back to the early 90s. Stay in contact with many.
I never post anything from a single source. Has to be more than one and those sources independent of each other. I have posted things in the last 20 years that UT has called me about. Multiple times. Stuff they didn't like.
That is my background.
this link is to my YouTube channel. Many videos I have (over 900 individual games) were given to me from UT's library. Enjoy them anytime.
