Heard it straight from the horses mouth today at the Rotary Club. Butch wants to hold a practice open to fans before the season starts. How cool would that be?

“I’m going to tell you first,” he said with a hint of secrecy to a room of 300 Knoxville-area Rotary Club members. “I’m working right now on having an open practice.”

Looks like Vol fans raring to get into Neyland Stadium early and start the 2013 Tennessee season may get a chance. Jones said he’s trying to crack the stadium doors open for a Saturday evening preseason practice that will be open to the public.

“Here’s my thought process: As their football coach, I’ve never seen our players live,” he explained from a stage at the Crowne Plaza Knoxville hotel. “I’ve seen them one time in front of fans and that was the spring game and it was a great venue. But now we’re playing for real.”

The Vols’ opener is slated for Aug. 31 against Austin Peay at Neyland Stadium. Jones said he hopes to make the open practice a reality, adding that he’s “trying to get the logistics worked out” and that the practice is “not definite.”

“I want to treat it like a preseason game,” he said. “I want to put people in the stands. I want to put (the team) in pressure situations. I want the kickers in pressure situations. Also it’s an opportunity to give back to our fans as well.”

For this and other things Butch has done that are known and unknown I have to say - Butch does get it. I want to be able to say the team gets it when the season rolls around. What I am hearing from a couple off site team building exercises that have not been publicized is that they do. Butch and staff are not only molding their bodies into top shape; they are molding their minds, character, and the Tennessee way.

Forget everything you have seen and heard about UT football over the past half dozen years until this year. That stuff is ancient history.

Can you imagine the publicity UT will get if we have an open practice & THOUSANDS of fans show up ... for PRACTICE!! It will be immeasurable! I hope he can pull this off.
Like someone said, Butch has been here 8 months & hasn't done a thing wrong yet !

On NSD I think instead of using a pretty co-ed to take the faxes off the machine like we have been doing, which I think was a Bammer idea, we should find 2 players who have the most Adonis-like bodies, and dress them in tight black Under Armour shirts with orange PowerT on them and have them stand on each side of the fax machine and look menacing and make sure it's available on the internet. Just to suggest to fence straddling recruits that if they come to UT they could end up looking like that cause Dave Lawson will turn them into men. Assuming all this isn't against some NCAA, OSHA, EPA, DHS, NSA, FBI, Or CIA rule. Could call them VIBs (VOLS IN BLACK) like MIB (Men in Black), see what I did there?
