Oh my, the basketball guys even got the new kid who isn't even on campus yet on the act. I also know of no athlete who's more of a Vol than Uros and the dude ain't even from this country. The plethora of current and former Vols who were cheering like us fans brings a tear to my eyes, too. There is a clear sea change in the athletic department.
Listening to the Chancellor and the President it feels like the change is everywhere. Perhaps rather than being jealous of the Athletic department, they are beginning to recognize its value (more applications, more out of state students paying higher tuition, greater enrollment, more revenue, etc.) Win-Win for everyone.
And what the hell are they making these goal posts out of these days? Titanium? The ones after the 98 Florida game came down in about 2.3 seconds.
