Truly awesome...well done!

 

One of your best, if not the best, OV. That was really special. Thanks.

 

I've tried to figure out what this is without asking but I can't. Sorry OV, can you point me in the right direction?

 

Folks have asked me to do a blog from a former players day and things that we did. They are all under the blogs section.

 

Great read OV.

 

UT from my perspective.......pg.7 - Blogs - Tennessee Vols Sports Forum - 8th Maxim

 

Great blog. Loved reading this. i can remember the Big orange swagger back then. Would love to see some more smash-mouth football

 

Awesome read.

 

Thanks IV.

That was a great glimpse into the day to day and the feelings of the players. I certainly have, from time to time, forgotten that they are kids and are, for most of them, trying to do everything they can to win games for the fans. Great read!

 

I'm waiting on more off the field antics. The "Sumo Nights at Gibbs" is hilarious.

 

OV, I have a couple of questions about your last two blogs.

1. Were all of the SEC schools doing "lean and mean" thing? Do you think that hurt the team in the 70's?

2. Did you all use Nautilus machines? My dad always says that Bill Battle got rid of the free weights and put in Nautilus machines. He says Coach Majors changed that when he came back.

 

Pretty much everyone was doing the lean thing, not all though.

We had two weight rooms, the Nautilus and free weights. We used both. We used both rooms when Majors first got there.

 

Good job, Jim Dandy.

 

Thanks.

 

Very interesting read.
