'19 CA LB Henry To'oto'o (Tennessee Signee)

[WinginFlorida]

Tennessee fans can line up and do this with opposing fans, adds a little spice to pregame festivities.

I want to see these guys do this when they've had as many beers as I usually do on the day of a game...

Hyams called him ToeToeToeToe this morning on TheZone. Thinks he a Vol.

Damnit.....then we are screwed......

Ok, let's get this straight for when To'oTo'o comes here. The haka is a Māori dance used by, among others, the New Zealand All Blacks. To'oTo'o is Samoan. The Samoan war dance is called the Siva Tau. Here's a couple of videos of the Siva Tau:

He is of Samoan and Tongan descent.

Umm we beat Auburn

And playing Ms State at home versus Auburn on the road is an easier game, in my opinion, especially if Fitzgerald is gone and they are playing a new QB. I kind of thought the playing at home versus on the road thing spoke for itself.....

Lived or visited Samoa?

Lived or visited Samoa?

Lived in Hawaii for a few years so got a dose of Polynesian culture. Some of them are very particular about preserving the unique aspects of their individual cultures even though a lot of it is very similar.

Ooh, even better. The Tongans call theirs Sipi Tau. Even more bad a** IMO, especially when performed by these guys:

Was gonna post the black haka last night, but it was rugby.

Is it not cool as he**? I did that ancestry thing and had 2% Pacific Islander DNA, maybe I need to learn it. My ancestors are probably from Midway or Gilligan's island though

I have always found warrior societies interesting. From the Spartans to Genghis Khan to the armys of Alexander the Great. And the whole Polynesian culture. Just hope the Vols start getting a some on board. Per capita there are more Samoans in the NFL than any other.

Anyway this guy, Crouch, and JJ Peterson are our starting LB's next year?

Bituli, then some combination of JJP, Crouch, To’oto’to, DKjr. Inside LB anyway

He's talking about 2020 I think

 

[swchandler1988]

Unless Pruitt bumps Bituli outside. At 6’3 244 he’s definitely big enough

It would be great to establish a Polynesian pipeline to Tennessee.

 

[GoVolsDR]

On a per-capita basis, football players of Samoan descent are statistically the most likely to play in the NFL. It makes total sense to leverage this pipeline as much as possible. There is a very well done article by Smithsonian Magazine about the history of football within the Polynesian culture, and Samoans in particular. It also provides some insight into why Utah and BYU have had deep historic pipelines into the islands.

It would be great to establish a Polynesian pipeline to Tennessee.

Washington and Utah have been doing this for years. They have had a few elite DTs from Samoa/Polynesia. Most recently Vita Vea.

Dude is a monster.

Visiting Bama this weekend and possibly Oregon next weekend

Strikes me as a group you wouldn't want to piss off...

 

[VOLuptuousBOOMS]

CJP's in home visit is Thursday.

Nevermind been a long week

 

[#Vol4Life1991]

Hopefully bama is his last visit...
