Tony and the Pirates

[LAVol1]

When the camera pans over to the Vols dugout, It looks like a stalwart Vitello is at the helm of a ship with his pirate crew behind him, ready to storm the field and plunder the opponent at his command. I don't think I've ever seen a coach in any sport that exudes as much confidence and leadership from the sidelines. His players reflect that confidence when they take the field. I think Vitello is now my fav Vol coach of all time.

We are considered nice guys now. ESPN guys talking about how polite we are now.

At Hoover on Sunday some young punks were yelling insults at Tony when he came out to talk to the HP umpire. I just looked around & said, "We know you want him...but you'll never get him". That was the end of that, folks.
