RIP Keith Hatfield aka Hatvol

Yes. Honestly, a really good dude in person. He was just a little too honest for some people to handle on VN. Gone too soon.

Enjoy every day and make it to that game that you are having second thoughts about.

Well said. Nice to hear from someone who knew him.
 
So was Hatvol a Knoxville resident? He must have been well-known outside of VN, too.

An attorney that would hang out at downtown watering holes - maybe Clancy’s.

He was on the radio (the show was actually streamed on the internet) with Basilio after basketball games. He wouldn’t hold back on his criticism.
 
I was just thinking about the old days on this board and Hatvol was epic. I actually just googled Hatvol to see what would popup and this thread was the first thing. I really didn't expect to see he passed away 3 years ago. Very sad and way too young. I thought he had a spat with Freak and went to a rival site full time. Reading over this thread it sounds like he left for other reasons. I'm sure he's posting upstairs about how the Vols will blow it this year and how Heupel is a donut eating slob that covers his mouth on his microphone just to smell his own breath. The guy was ruthless.
 
I think we should have a memorial wall for fallen members. OWH is one that comes to mind too. Dude was salt of the earth.

Was thinking about Keith tonight and ran into this wonderful tribute to him by a man named Joe Ayres.
