We will talk about this thread in the first few minutes of the show, so make sure you respond.

Here's the topic:

If you had the opportunity to spend a whole day with a UT athlete, present or past, who would it be, what would you do and give reasons why.

Please make them short and to the point, make them entertaining, basically so I can pick out the best ones and give you a shout out.

Please keep comments to a minimum on this thread, try not to get off on a tangent and focus on the topic.

Here's mine:

Al Wilson and I would go to the Tennessee-Florida football game at Florida field. Why? Because I would love to feed off the intensity of this rivalry with possibly the most intense UT player ever AND nobody would be giving us any crap, I would just introduce them to my friend AL!

Travis Stephens because IMO he was the last Vol RB that played for team and had tons and tons ofheart and we'd go to the game with you and Al so we could talk smack at the swamp too.

I would take Erik Ainge and we'd both go have a labotomy.

I'd choose Bernard King. We'd go to the Gators game and an hour before tipoff I'd get him to show Wingate how to low post with aggression and actually...yes even actually rebound a basketball, and not just show up as a walkin manikin for a Vols uniform!

I'd go to church with the Minister of Defense. As intense as the man was on the football field, I'd bet he was pretty fanatical at church! Hopefully they'd have one of those Sunday potluck dinners too... that way I could pick his brain about football. :biggrin2:

I would have Dane Bradshaw come to my house and make sure he had a decent meal. I'd take care of his wrist and then I'm sure my husband would monopolize him playing stupid video games the rest of the day.

I'd get together will ole buzz and bring him to a men's basketball game at the summit...You know, so he could see a real Tennessee Mens basketball team in action.

My first choice would be Kurston Biggers but since he is my second cousin, I could do that any time. :D

My real choice would be Al Wilson. I've never seen anyone with the true love for football like he has. I would like to share a meal and memories of the 1998 season with him. My wife and I lived in New Mexico in 1998. We went to the Arkansas and Kentucky games that year. We attended practice on Wednesday between the two games. Al was surprised to hear that we had traveled all the way from New Mexico to watch them play. He told us that they would definitely be playing in Tempe so that we would have less distance to travel. :bow:

No question about it for me. Bobby Dodd. 24-1-1 as a UT starter and probably forgot more about college football than just about anyone else has ever known. If it's not too cold we'd probably drop a line in the Caney Fork and I'd want to hear every story he could remember.

As an aside, I probably would have done well to remember Coach Bobby's "Words to live By" during the '05 season. I guess I can only try to be a better fan in the future.

"Football is one of our great American games. It is the duty and responsibility of each of us to see that it is kept in its proper perspective, and that it is protected. We should see that it is used to attain the objectives that mean so much to our way of life.

We feel that the spectator can be most influential and instrumental in helping to achieve these objectives, if he will develop the right attitudes. May we suggest a few?

First, and foremost among these attitudes that must be developed, is the realization that in football there must be a winner and a loser (excepting the occasional tie). The fan who recognizes this principle gets a great deal more enjoyment from the game than one who becomes irritated, aggravated, and rambunctious when "his" team loses. We would never minimize the importance of winning, but it is very unfair to the coach, the player, and the school when the fan forgets it is impossible to "repudiate the law of mathematics"--i.e., there must be a winner and a loser.

It is important that each of us develop the art of appreciating great plays made by the opposition. We should always give our opponents credit, rather than criticize our team when the opposition makes a great play. We believe perfection in the execution of a great play in football is to be admired and appreciated, just as we appreciate and admire the work of a great artist in any field.

The spectator should remember the football players are just human beings. They perform at times under great pressure, and they, as all other earthly inhabitants, are likely to make mistakes. It behooves all of us to remember, "To err is human, to forgive, divine."

Finally, we should always keep uppermost in mind that football, with all its glamour, glitter, thrills and chills, plus everything that makes it great, has one thing more important than all of these combined--that is, the boy who plays it."

Robert L. "Bobby" Dodd Head Coach and Athletic Director Georgia Institute of Technology 1954

John Mills is a great guy to know! Id like to meet Steve Kiner. But to just sit and talk football, Id have to ask Al Wilson about his breed.

A young man on fire....Why did you select Tennessee? If you was a sideline guest, the game is close at half. What do you tell this team in the locker room? Do you speak and leave? Chief has spoke to his unit and called his LB's out. MIKE ,SAM & WILL.

Do you leave coaches speech alone? or do you grab a hold of mike,sam,will and put a bug "told me so" in thier ears?

Tony McDaniel. He would be my bodyguard for one day. I'd wear my UT cap in one of the local bars here in Alabama. First, I'd spit a big hocker on the Bear Bryant picture on the wall above the bar. Next, I would shoot Bubba a bird. Then I would call Joe Bob's date "pizza-face". Then I would say something derrogatory about Dale Earnhart's gender. Then I would get really obnoxious!!!
