Smokin' dude, smokin'!

I looked into him a few weeks ago, and I'm fairly sure he made a practice squad, but got cut later.

I always assume that he's either on his way to jail or just being released.

Say what you want about Banks, but I will forever remember him for catching the Hail Mary before halftime that led to the 2003 win over Florida.

That is the exact play that came to mind when I saw this thread. That was a great catch!!:good!:

was sitting in that endzone when it happened...vols fans obviously went nuts! It was a fun afternoon/evening of singing rocky top around g-ville! Even though it was miserablely hot that day!

What coulda been...
James ya can't smoke green if you wanna make green!!

I was always a Brett Smith fan myself....he just got a lil lost on the shuffle.

he also made a few other great catches that year, sc to win it in ot, at alabama, any difficult pass that came his way in a clutch situation. i hate it he didn't turn out to be a pro

Yeah... that might be going a bit far.

 

[BigHodgie]

man, i had a ton of fun watching him at Carson Newman the one year he made the field. he was a man amongst boys out there!

 

[sickemsmokey10]

I'm sure Calhoun's would gladly take him back as head waiter

 

[VolBadger]

sorry, should've been a bit more specific...he was clutch on 3rd downs and it seemed to me that ainge always looked to him when he was in trouble...hence the chain moving

Did Erik even play with James ? I thought Banks sat out Erik's freshman year with an injury and never returned ????
