This is the first thread I've started, so it's a little wordy and "cool story, bro" and I apologize for that in advance.
I got the chance to go see the scrimmage at SHHS today. The passing attack started slow, which kinda surprised me. Running game was LEGIT! Rajion and Devrin lit it up! The running game was going maybe 5,6 a carry until Neal bounced one outside, sprinted down the sideline, then juked two guys at once at the 20 to easily score from 68 yards out or so. Devrin had a punt return where he took one step to the left then broke right for a 98 yard--or so--punt return TD; however, they brought it back to work on the O. CP had only one catch for 26 yards, but if he didn't have the red jersey on, it would've been a 40 TD pass. Overall, I was impressed by the team.
Afterwards, those of us that were still there went through an open gate and stood by the buses to get pics of the players. I got pics of: Devrin, Tiny (not in the same pic though, that wouldve been killer), McNeil, Gordon, Herman Lathers, JuWaun James, AJ, Curt, Justin Hunter, Da'Rick, James Stone, a passing pic of Tyler Bray, and 4 other players I haven't identified yet.
Before Justin Hunter got on the bus, I told him I wanted to see him catch a TD pass OVER TOP of Amerson in the Dome. He said "I got ya!" as he boarded the bus.
A minute later when Da'Rick came up, I told him I wanted to see him truck Amerson 30 yards like he did to the Honey Badger last year vs. LSU. He also replied "Oh, I got ya!"
once the buses had left, most of us were about to leave, but lo and behold Coach Dooley came up and took a minute to pose for fan pics. I got my picture taken with him, highlight of the day!!!
What a way to spend the day!
Very strange that in the last month... Science Hill's football field has hosted a UT practice/scrimmage, and also hosted a private workout by Peyton Manning. This has been a proud summer for us Johnson City folks. :good!:
I was at the scrimmage today also and was standing there with skids when all the players came by. Devrin young was a flat out beast today. He broke several guys ankles when he took it to the house on the punt return. I didn't really think that bray was being a prick, he seemed just like he was in a hurry bc his bus was getting full and i don't think he new that they would sit there that long once he got on. The guy in the yellow was more of a douche bc of what he yelled to tyler. I myself was embarrased to be standing next to him and i also told him to calm down. There was one funny moment when the buses were leaving, rajon came out late and had to chase the bus. He kept smacking the side of it, and king had to yell at the driver to stop. Dooley was a class act. He made time to talk to everyone and take pics with us. I really hope he makes it here. He's such a good person.
Good thing other schools don't have fans that are jerks. No wonder we're being out-recruited by the top-tier SEC teams.The real problem with yellow man is that he made a request and got an answer. The rejected the answer.
I don't like TB's answer myself. It would only take a moment to face the camera. But he has a right to accept or reject a request like anyone else. In simple words, you can't always have what you want whether you were an only child or not. With fans like yellow man and certain ones on this board, it's a wonder players come to the UT at all.
