From the periscope video I'd say 18-20K...nowhere near 45K.

Still, it's a practice...not bad.

The Tennessee Football Facebook account says 40,000 people showed up

Kyle Phillips stood out - his speed is very impressive

The West side lower level was damn near full

Inflated number for recruiting purposes.

I have no problem with it but that's the case

Yep... Been a decade... You were in a diaper last time..

I was 8 years old last time we beat Florida. It was a rare UT vs FL night game too so I missed it.

The West side lower level was damn near full

You can put a person in every other seat and it will look full. That's what typically happens in open seating...not every seat is taken as people tend to spread out.

The lower bowl seats between 65-67K and that's every seat occupied.

EDIT: My original guesstimate was made early in the periscope recording. I'd still only put it in the 25K range...still impressive for a practice.

This..and tomorrow no one will care but 40K will stick in the recruits' minds.

You're not a glass half-full type of guy, are you?

No way that is accurate Goat :stop:

I wish we has announced 40,351 in attendence tonight and used the #ourstate.

But I guess we have moved on from worrying about the lowly kids to the west whose HS stadium holds 40,350 at capacity.

Why people concern themselves with Vandy is beyond me.

Sorry.. Didn't know you wore diapers at 8 yrs. old. Hope you are out of them next time UT wins...

Just haven't picked on you in a while. Didn't want you to think I forgot about you :biggrin:

I agree but hard not to think about taking a jab at having more at a practice than tjey will have at their opener.

I will point that out to the 3 fans Vandy I know.

Lol

 

[kennedy262]

Not being critical just very curious if those recruits are actually in Knoxville.

Anyone know?

I saw Emmitt Gooden and who I thought to be Kyle Davis if that helps.

 

[joevol33]

Reading this gets me pumped up.

 

[derekpanda415]

So overall how did the team tonight look I live in FL so it's hard to keep up sometimes

 

[Orange_Crush]

I'd like to hear overall impressions of OL.

I just quoted those figures to a Vandy fan (and student) I know ... my daughter. She wasn't amused.

 

[Vol4Lyfe]

My opinion on what I saw (I had my two daughters talking to me a lot), was this.....

Moseley was on lock down. I was very impressed with him.

Kahlil trucked another lineman but didn't get to see who. Put him right in his back.

Pig hit the crossbar from I think 50 yards out...on his only try.

Dormady looked pretty good but overshot a few throws. I still think he's a solid backup.

WR group in general looked great.

They didn't really let the defense have a chance to get after it, but they looked hungry and fast.

Medley will be impressive and could win us a game this year.
