Thanks and welcome to the board. Would appreciate it if you could sport a Vols hat every now and then. You'll be surprised at how many people will yell Go Vols... Even if you find yourself in Antarctica

Word.. It's always good to know a TN guy is nearby. When I'm traveling I'll always ask a Vol for directions, places to eat, accommodations, etc., before some stranger. If he's wearing Vol gear he's not a stranger to me. Course I'm always wearing mine so it's neat to see a smile creep up on their face as I approach. It might be because I'm good looking tho... Lol... And modest

Let us know when you come. VN will prob buy you about 1500 beers so you will be pretty sloppy by gametime.. Believe that. I'll bring some moonshine... That should really put you in fat girl land then!

But whatever he is gonig to play....he is coachable, a goog athlet and intelligent.....he will be good doing his job.

I know his storry from the first day....as his former hc i talked to him about a college carrier when i received an email about 1 year ago from the seminoles scout. Tom schneider, former feris state qb took over the conversation with the scout. Jakob wrote email to many div. 1 colleges by it's own to make his dream real....he worked so unbelivieble hard. He is definately one of the most talented players i've ever seen over here. It was hard for us to teach him more about football.....two times a week practise....for just two hours....cause football in europe in not part of school programs. We told him to use his talent and his will to work hard. We had, and still have some players over there which took the chance too. Justin is playing his senior year in wyoming...marco played in delaware when flacco was the starting qb there. At the beginning jakob had a weak response....obviously the lb coach of the vols is able to recognize talent. And i'm sure jakob honors that !

Mamba11, was Tom Schneider aware that Butch Jones was a fellow Ferris State grad and did that factor into Jakob's recruitment by, and interest in, Tennessee?

Tom was just responsible for the communication with the seminoles....but they where not really interested in my opinion.....i got to ask jakob how the contact with the vols was established...i don't know it exactly and i don't want to give a wrong information
