OPENING SCENE -
Dec. 5th, 2020. 15 minutes prior to kickoff vs one of the Vols most hated rivals, the Florida Gators. Jeremy Pruitt calmly paces the football locker room in Neyland stadium, just two rooms over from where they keep the dead bodies. 62 Tennessee football players dressed in their orange home jerseys and white pants look to Pruitt as he delivers his pregame speech:
"Men... games like tonight I'm reminded of me sittin' in my daddy's tree stand when I was a kid. Sometimes you go out and for several weekends in a row, sit there all day and not see a deer at all. Sometimes, you might see really nice buck within range, so close you can almost smell it, pull the trigger but you miss. But. Sometimes, just sometimes, you get a chance at a 12 point with a rack that will make you teary eyed. You nervously put the rifle to your shoulder, fire and BAM, that buck drops to the ground like a sack full of rocks. And you know what? The rest of that season just fades away. That one shot changes everything, turns something negative into a positive."
"Now, I know this season ain't really gone the way we wanted, but that don't mean we can't run onto this field tonight - Pruitt points to the door exiting to the field - and take a shot at this 12 point buck, and drop those sunsabitches to the turf. - The locker room begins to rumble with screams of 'YEAH' coming from the back - "So, whaddaya'll say.. you with me? Let's go knock these guys off!!" - The locker rooms explodes with cheers of 'YEAHHH' as all the players jump to their feet."
There is still another 4 minutes before the team is due to run out of the tunnel through the T on the field.
