Growing up in a small town brings back memories.My grandfather (pops) would sit in his chair and listen.He was one if 15 kids and only went to school thru 5th grade.His entertainment was wking the farm every day but Sunday and Sat when the Vols were on the radio.I know he never had the chance to play as a kid. Other than my highschool and college games he never went to a game that I know of.But boy he never missed a Sat radio broadcast.All work stopped and u had to be quite and listen. Good times.My intro to Tn.football.

Iam fired up for it.The only problem I have is this. When i was younger I use to be just fired up for it.Now at age 46 Iam fired up and a little more sentimental every season that comes and goes. Was in my Tennessee room looking at old pics tonight. The one of my 3 boys together at the 99 Sec championship game vs Lsu makes me tear up a little.Now Iam trying to plan when we are taking all 3 grandkids to there first game.

I like that one alot also.But the one Iam thinking about Charlie is kinda narrating it.Talks about Why I love Tennessee Or Why I love the vols.Hes talking in it more than singing.Maybe why I came to Tennessee.I know Texans are proud of Texas but I dont think any of them are as proud as a Tennessean .God I love this state.The people in it and the Tennessee Vols.

I don't know but someone posted this on VN awhile back and I saved it. Forgot to save the author but I'm sure a VN veteran can tell us where this came from. Anyway, get ready to cry (even if you've read it)...

I might be wrong but I think O+W=H might have posted that...it's been around for a while though, but it's one of the all time bests.

1) Mike Williams not in the two deep?? heard lots of good reviews about him in spring, Why was he jumped by two true freshman iyo?

2) L. Lewis not listed on current two deep at de? Another one we thought moving up? Did I miss that or where is he?

3) C. Fugate, is he permanently buried at LB? or does he have chance to move up?

4) TE, is meredith healthy? How has AJ Braziel looked?

1. I think Williams is still a guy to watch. He did ok with the opportunities he had in spring, but didn't dominate by any means. Size is a concern and I think the athletic ability showed by the freshman matches Williams and they have more size. As Jones said the depth chart is more for people to talk about than anything else.

2. He's there battling. He has to be more consistent. He showed some flashes in the spring. I still think he will be a help to them this fall. Remember spring ws the first time he had played football in nearly two years.

3. Fugate is buried in my opinion. I like Channing. He's a good guy, but he hasn't eat, breathed, slept football since his freshman year. I don't think he's as focused on football as some others.

4. We will see on Meredith. Can he make it through a full week of practice. He hasn't since he has been at Tennessee. A.J. has caught the ball ok. How physical is he when the pads come on is the question.

Apparently Ainge was saying UT couldn't host OV's for the first two SEC home games this fall. Hubbs cleared up the confusion...

I don't know what Ainge is talking about. Tennessee can host official visitors starting today. They have 56 to give from today through July 31, 2014. In fact, I think Kameel Jackson is coming in this weekend, maybe later today.

Tennessee can host unofficial visitors as well. They can't provide complimentary tickets to unofficial visitors for games for the first 2 SEC game of the season.

So they can they have unofficials for Austin Peay, Western Kentucky, and South Alabama games. They can't provide tickets to unofficial visitors for the Georgia and South Carolina game.

Hopefully that clears it up.

Kameel is visiting today. He mentioned on twitter he was at the airport and on his way.

I had mentioned earlier I would like to see the staff kind of shut off the OV's unless it's for a kid who is already committed. Unless it is a DT/DE that we have room for, I would save the OVs to use on the 2015 class so we don't run into the same issue we did with a couple of the Jucos and have no OVs for them till after Aug 1st. Also I find it a huge waste to let kids who are committed elsewhere, and we have no room for anyway to OV to a UT game when we could not take them as there is no room left. JMO

Do unused officials roll over to the following year? Did our probation / sanctions impact that?

Too much attention is paid to a pre camp depth chart. They are meaningless. Until the pads come on

Interesting. I remember reading something about no OV's at the beginning of the season too. It was added in the Willie Mack addendum.

Not FB but this Point Guard is announcing today and Rob Lewis says

Larry Austin - Yahoo! Sports

4star #96 player nationally. Would be a great pickup for Cuonzo.

He's quietly putting together a very solid class. Wish he could land one more super star, like Stokes or Hubbs, to top it off.

Big year for Cuonzo. He returns a good team for which there are rightfully pretty high expectations. Seems similar to 2012 for Derek Dooley. Hope Cuonzo has different results.

I really like Cuonzo, but he seems to come up one really good player short each year and has to start someone that would be a better "coming off the bench" player than starter. I'm hoping that turns around this year.

I was about to comment on how he looks like a little kid....then I realized how big he is next to those other people. I've decided it's best to just leave it alone, just in case I ever meet him in person. Not really feeling like being squished like a zit. :)
