One of my faavorite Vols and an all-around classy representation of not only UT, but college football in general.

You know...I can't think of a single Gator I would say that about. Maybe Tebow is the closest...but I hate Tebow.

nope, but don't feel bad...I randomly hate people that have the Gator logo on the back of their car.

I was born and raised in Maryville...So, maybe Lee Humphey...Except because of him there are freaking Gator logos on a lot of cars in Maryville. So, it makes me hate him as well. Yeap, a clean sweep of hate.

The team needs more leaders like Berry. Most of all because of his personality and respect for others and the game.

He really is, it's a shame what all he's going through right now.

OP, thanks for sharing. EB is a class act on all accounts, and he is sorely missed. His parents did a wonderful job raising him.

Eric Berry stopped by my wife's school today to speak with the kids today. Interesting facts that he revealed offline to some of the teachers...he has skittles before every game and did not have skittles before the buffalo game, the game he tore his ACL. He hangs out a lot with Jamal Charles. Ironically he told a teacher (who is a K-State fan) that all of his observations of Bryce Brown at UT indicated that Bryce was a hard worker.

Eric said the biggest trash talker in the NFL is Phillip Rivers. He told teachers that under the new NFL CBA, the team only goes full contact once a week.

He talked to the kids about how he worked at a Dairy Queen and that his dad made him write down his goal of playing in the NFL on paper and how he would attain that goal. He said that his parents were with him on draft day and that all of them cried when his name was announced because of all the hard work Eric had put into his goal. Eric told the kids that his entire life, people told him he was too small, too slow but he always believed in himself. He said that when someone tells him he can't do something he makes it a priority to prove them wrong. He told the kids to never let someone tell you that you can't do something. He said that the one person who influenced him the most was his dad.

He told the teachers afterward that he was heading to the airport to fly outnto go have his surgery on his ACL.

I tried to attach a picture, but my iPad is not cooperating with me on that. Eric gained a lot more fans in this area today. This town loves the guy.

I'm going to guess that the last time somebody told Eric Berry he was either too small or too slow was when he was about 6 years old.

He's a super nice guy. He's does some promotional stuff for my girlfriends dad who owns a couple of car dealerships in KC...

There really is something to putting goals on paper with a decline and a plan. Google the study about Harvard biz grads and written goal bs salary correlation.

Study was a Myth, both harvard and Yale admits to as much. Writing down goals is still a good idea though.
