You hear coaches talk about a program "selling itself" all the time. This facility will sell itself to recruits once finished.

Did the virtual tour... Wowza! Anyone think a 5'7" 115 lb college freshman can walk on so I can get in there? Maybe a punter version of Brodus?

Hopefully, Vol fans will be saying "WOW" about Coach Dooley's football team in a good way this season. "Wowing" people with a practice facility is a given in the SEC. "Wowing" people with a successful football program has been up to Bama, LSU, Auburn, Florida, etc. lately, and by the way, they all have pretty nice facilties that "WOW"people. Fact of the matter is that the true big boys in the SEC are going to "Wow" people with their play on the field and their facilities. Tennessee has always had the "wow" facilities, and with this new building it's especially do or die time on the field.

Thanks for the link to the article. Used to spend a lot of time on this site until I joined 247. Now I rarely visit it. I only had to read about 4 or 5 comments after the article to remember why I left it. Guess we're just spoiled here. We've got the best, fastest and most accurate info on UT sports written by the hardest working bunch in the business. And to top it all off, we've got the best community of posters anywhere. Always civil, informative, intelligent(at least till I butt in), and enjoyable posts by folks that just want to talk about and share things about UT. GO VOLS!
BUTCH IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. GO VOLS!

I'd say I punt about 30 yards about 20 yards in the air. So probably about 2 seconds. Haha

Dana White is probably calling Dooley right now about doing a season of "Ultimate Fighter" in Knoxville...
