Tyler Smith Feature...

[DMBVol]

damn i missed it...any chance it might be on youtube?

 

[dickens821]

I missed it too.

 

[GoVols817]

I've looked, can't find it. It was good.

If I had to bet, I'd say they'll play it when Gameday comes on at 8 tonight to countdown to the game.

That's what I figured.

They will.

if anyone finds it be sure to post it. i just caught the very end and with no sound.

Or perhaps someone with the technological capability can youtube the clip this evening -- I feel like I may be in a bar at that point.

I didn't know about the tattoo on his stomach...Tyler's a good kid. I liked the fact that ESPN didn't sugarcoat the story and why the events that happened took place..I think Pearl was genuine in his feelings for Tyler and confirms the fact that this team is very close.

I teared up when I read the story in ESPN the Magazine when the season started, and I teared up again today.

Billy Smith basically decided that Bruce Pearl was the guy that he'd leave Tyler with after he was gone. That's enough to make any man cry, and Bruce did.

Very moving story.

 

[utvolpj]

didn't move you to the verge of tears, you need to check your pulse.

glad to know I wasn't the only one. As ViA said, I read the mag article and the same thing happened.

Good find...I tried searching for it on their site and nothing came up.

 

[GoVols817]

Good job Larkin.

 

[volfan55]

That was an absolutely incredible piece. I actually talked to TS yesterday (he lives on my floor) and he was a real nice guy, even though I had my Memphis hat on.

 

[kidbourbon]

volfan55, you should get your ass kicked for something like that.

 

[volfan55]

For what wishing the guy good luck in the game tomorrow? It wasn't like I purposely put it on just to go up to him, I just had on my hat (quite a few people had on Memphis gear on campus yesterday). I should kick your ass for being such a tool.

I tend to agree.

 

[Volsguy12]

outstanding.

 

[Bassmanbruno]

Talking smack on the internet and threatening to beat someone up. Classic.

[justingroves]

Gotta love the internet badasses

 

[ivtec_jrod]

what an incredible piece. that gave me goosebumps.

 

[egotisticalmoron]

that's a really good short by espn. i just read the column again also. i really like what bruce wants this place to be.

 

[dickens821]

... wow. what a great piece...

 

[DMBVol]

wow Pearl showed once again that not only is he a great coach, but a great person

 

[AllVolYall]

Dynamite story. Very moving....very telling. It really makes me proud to support this coach, this team and a great kid in Tyler Smith. I wish him all the best.
