73 days till kickoff and 42 till practice begins.


I apologize for the lateness of the post today, but a dear friend who was like a brother to me was killed yesterday in a car accident. GOD, it hurts me just to type it! I have been with the family as much as possible and ask all who believe in the power of prayer to say one for Tim's wife and two teenaged daughters and his parents. And me. The Vols lost a devoted fan yesterday and I lost an irreplaceable treasure. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

This one's for Tim....


GO VOLS!!!

c'mon.....now we should never hafta get it back out and dust it off! we should eat, sleep and go to church in it.....LOL..i'm jokin, but like everyone else, i feel like i'm about to die until practice starts. man, i go to sleep EVERY NIGHT OF THE WEEK watching a vols game i have on tape. I'm not really old enough to remember the Carl Pickens/Andy Kelly days, but i was watching the 1990 Notre Dame game at Neyland last night. Two things: one being that i'm enthralled that we dont have turf anymore. Two being that do any of you remember that Notre Dame game?? MY GOD it reminded me soooooo much of the Auburn game from 2003. I started getting those old games on tape when Clausen was a freshman, and I always said he reminded me of Andy Kelly (although I think he was strides better ect...) That was just a question I had for everybody.


Go Vols.

I remember that game! Without question, Pickens was a very special player.

Man he could jump. Man he could jump. lol I remember one play from back in our own endzone Kelly hurled it downfield and Pickens jumped up better than any player I have seen. He dropped the catch, but I really think it showed what a gifted athlete he is. What was the story with the little guy...Tony Thompson i think? I saw Yancy play in the spring game and though....well, we have another comparison.

Pickens really could jump. I seem to remember that he won a slam dunk contest when he was here. I can't remember exactly what it was for but there were several UT athletes in it and Pickens was the winner...and I think it was when he was a freshman. Anyone else remember that?

From a 2003 UTSports.com article...

Tony Thompson came to the Vols from Lake Wales, Fla., who proved his worth to the Vols whenever his number was called. He had 124 yards against Memphis State in 1988 when Reggie Cobb went down, 128 yards against Vanderbilt in 1989 when Chuck Webb was injured, and, when Webb was lost for the season in the second game of 1990, Tony stepped to the front and led the SEC in rushing with 1261 yards. He had the game-winning score in the 1991 Sugar Bowl against Virginia. He was captain of the 1990 team...


Tony is Corporate Audit Manager with Thomson, Inc., a world leader in video image technologies and solution, in Thousand Oaks, Calif., for the past eight years. He earned his bachelors degree in mathematics in 1992 and his MBA in 1995, both from UT.
