I've never seen it quite like this the last 10 years. Despite what the nay sayers and the haters say, this is what Tennessee has needed for a long time

If this vid has been posted before, please forgive me. I searched and couldn't find...

YouTube - 2009 orange and white game

Good video, thanks for posting.

Your right, night and day difference from Fulmer's practice video's. Monty is awesome as a D coordinator. I love the way they are working them at practice. It's hard to watch that and not believe they will be a lot better.

I think I have seen that video about 15 times, and I love it every time I watch it.

A little ashamed to say that I was way behind on watching that video... just watched it, but better late than never.

Anyone remember watching when ESPN came to one of our practices in August 2005?

I remember being surprised by what I saw, I had always figured college football practices, especially at the elite programs, would be very intense, up tempo, crisp, tight, etc. That practice was anything but, I swear I think that in some passing drills our receivers dropped as many balls as were caught - and I don't remember seeing much more than token criticism from Pat Washington or whoever the position coach was, or any other coach for that matter... Anyway, I remember seeing the guys walking from one station to the next after the whistle,hands on hips, and I remember the whole event appearing really lazy... the only coach I remember having much intensity was Chavis... and Sanders might have been barking a little bit actually. Regardless, we all know what happened that year and since.

Anyway, I find it interesting to compare that practice to what I just saw on that video from this spring. I'll tell you what, its one more example of how we are headed back in the right direction.

I remember that ESPN session as well. I'd always wondered if all top tier practices were like the little video snippets we'd get the past few years from the Vols where it seemed like not much was going on slowly versus that little montage. There's probably more intensity in that clip than all of most intense moments of Fulmer's practices combined the past few years.

Just led me to a thought. Fulmer closed practices leading up to the Peach Bowl v Clemson after the 2003 season IIRC. Interesting correlation with the openness of our practices and the success of our team on the field.
