Outstanding.

Thanks for the link.

Best post I have read this week..........thanks. Love to see athletes and teams express and not shy away from their love of God. Although I have read similar stuff before, it still makes me love the Vols even more. I can be a bit crude at times, but I love God, and never afraid to say it.

Leadership at its highest and finest from Coach Barnes.

Texas finally repaid Tennessee for the Alamo and the logo.................a hefty price but I think it was worth it.

This team changing lives and not just those on the roster

Betting a few posters here come to know the Prince of Peace because of Coach Barnes and this team.

Just awesome. We are lucky to have Coach Rick Barnes.

Vol sports is the only religion that matters.

 

[VOLumeS]

Go Vols!

 

[Titan&Volfan4life]

THANKS for posting that.

I wish that Barnes could coach at Tennessee for another 20 years or longer.

He's obviously a great coach but he's also a very special man and we're very blessed to have him.

May God continue to look over and bless these fine young men and everyone else in the world!

VFL...GBO!!!

Priorities officially in the proper order. What a blessing.

When people give glory to the father good things happen. One example is an unselfish team that achieves more than the sum of the individuals. Christ is our great hope and example.

Maybe TN will have a prayer this year if they draw a nun backed team again in the NCAAT.

Everyone's been saying this team is special. Now we know the reason.

Hard to pull against a nun in a wheelchair!

So when two deeply religious teams play each other who decides who wins?

I loved the story and what makes it the real deal is NOT ONE PERSON MENTIONED RELIGION!!! Its that personal relationship and I for one am glad we live in America where (at least for now) we can unashamedly stand up for our risen Lord without fear of punishment (yet)….The story for this Vol team just gets deeper and deeper and for those of us who truly know the King of Kings it just gets better and better...Go Vols....

It's a Win Win situation.
