18 more days in China ; 27 days to kickoff! I'm not sure which one I am looking forward to most! I honestly believe it is kick off. I can't wait to take the family to the game and tailgate with someone I can comunicate with. This place blows.

PLAYER SPOTLIGHT
Willie Gault
Wide Receiver (1980-82)


Willie Gault was in a class of his own, and his performances spoke for themselves. The speedy receiver earned All-America honors his senior season in 1982 after hauling in 50 receptions for 668 yards.
Gault, also a prolific hurdler and sprinter for Tennessee, finished his career with the Vols holding 12 school records in football and three in track and field.
Half of his football records were SEC records as well as he posted more total yards in kickoff returns (1,854) than in receiving (1,482) and returned five kickoffs for touchdowns in his career, including a school-record 100 yard return against Pittsburgh in 1980. For his career, Gault averaged 16.4 yards each time he touched the football and covered 2,513 total yards in returns. The Big Orange legend was a first-round draft pick of the Chicago Bears in the 1983 draft and played in the NFL for 11 seasons for the Bears and Los Angeles Raiders. He was a member of the Bears team that won Super Bowl XX and was part of the team's highly-popular Super Bowl Shuffle rap song and video.

Remember when some were worried that after Dools made it big at UT, Georgia would come calling and it would be Kiffin 2? Don't you miss those good old days?:whistling:

PLAYER SPOTLIGHT 25 Days!!
Jay Graham
Running Back (1993-96)


One of the most accomplished running backs in Tennessee history, Jay Graham is in his first season coaching the position at his alma mater after spending the last three seasons as an assistant coach at South Carolina.
As a player for Tennessee, Graham rushed for 2,609 yards as a Vol from 1993-96 and ranks seventh all-time on the Vols' career rushing chart. His most prolific season was in 1995, when he rushed for 1,438 yards on 272 carries, the second-highest rushing total in a season in UT history and the third-most attempts by a Vol running back in one year. Graham earned All-SEC Second Team honors as both a junior and a senior in 1995 and 1996, respectively, and helped the Vols to three bowl victories.
Graham's 1995 total of 11 100-yard games is the most in Tennessee history in a single season and included a school-record nine consecutive 100-yard rushing efforts. He also posted 14 100-yard games in his Tennessee career, a total that ranks only behind Travis Henry (15) in school history. Additionally, Graham's 25 rushing touchdowns rank tied for ninth on the Tennessee career list, and he rushed for a career-high 211 yards against Vanderbilt on Nov. 25, 1995.
A third-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens in 1997, Graham spent six seasons in the NFL, including four with the Ravens (1997-2000) and single seasons with the Seattle Seahawks (2001) and Green Bay Packers (2002). In 2004, Graham returned to Knoxville and graduated with a degree in psychology. He also served the 2005 season as a graduate assistant on the Vols staff and completed his master's degree in sports management from UT in 2008. In addition to stints at South Carolina and his graduate assistant season at Tennessee, Graham has also served as an assistant coach at Miami, Ohio (2008), UT-Martin (2007), the University of San Diego (2007), and UT Chattanooga (2006).

Hey guys, I've been a die-hard Tennessee fan since day 1. My Dad grew up in Knoxville, but had to move for his job, so I grew up south of Atlanta. I have never been to a game outside of this year's O&W and NC State last year in the GA Dome. However, after graduating from Georgia Tech in May, I got a job in Knoxville and my wife and I moved here in June. Needless to say, my signing bonus went to season tickets!! Any suggestions on parking/tailgating/anything? 25 DAYS!
