Preseason camp trip pleases Dooley

    ATLANTA — Preseason college football camps don't tend to leave town, but Tennessee's Derek Dooley is pleased that his Vols will enjoy the rare experience. But why?

    I can just see the smirk on Dooley's face when he tells these players 'yeah, it's gonna' be fun'. Brings back some good/nasty memories of Camp High Lake outside Sparta, Tn...Oh Lord.

  • Ya, those days were hot as hell, we would send at least 5 or 6 guys back home due to heat exhaustion and full body cramps. Three a days in August is brutal. We went to a camp at realfoot lake in Lake county. Don't miss those days at all, pure hell.

    I hear you. High Lake had one practice field we called the hole. It was down in this natural bowl and we swore to a man that a breeze had never touched it.

  • Get it done DB. Good to see him get some recognition after he has kinda been pushed out of the forefront with all this reshaping of the athletic department

    Agreed! Glad to see Hart realizes what a valuable employee that David is. He is a true VFL!

  • This is a great idea. The movie, "The Junction Boys" comes to mind. That was a great movie except for the Bear Bryant and Alabama parts. Anyway, they could do something like this every 4 years or so. I do agree it will be a great team building experience.

  • Are you guys planning to go up there with them? I realize they won't let you watch practice, but would there be a set up like camp on campus where you talk to players or coaches before or after practice?

    “The players are excited about it, but they don’t realize what’s coming,” he said. “They’ve never been through one of these. We’re telling them, ‘Yeah, it’s gonna be great. It’s gonna be fun.’” lol

    I can hear Dooley on the morning of the first wake up in his Wyatt Earp Tombstone voice...."you tell I'm coming, cause hell is coming with me!"

    'He's their huckleberry' Love that movie

  • Ok so I have a question.. I go to Milligan College in grad school and I am a big time football fan. Will we actually get to see a practice and how will the campus be that week?

    Makes no sense but thats become a Dooley trademark! Its just shows how worried he is that he will be fired. Hes trying to make it appear hes doing everything in his power to win, but that takes talent on the feild and on the sidelines which UT has neither.

    Truth,

    We don't insult other posters here. Not what we do. Plenty of other sites around for you to do that. No personal attacks, name-calling, etc. You can disagree, but do it with some maturity.

  • Pretty excited about them heading up to Milligan, as my dad played baseball there back in the day and they recruited me to come play there as well. My dad's side of the family is all from Elizabethton

    Buddy read his response to me he called me fool first! Anytime you want to talk facts i'm ready..Lets have a honest discussion, i never call names i only respond in kind. So before you point the finger at me take a look at the other posters here! One negative comment bout Dooley and the attack dogs are out! So don;'t accues me without accusing the guy that started the name calling. If you will read through all my posts i haven't called anybody a name but for when i was called a fool by the poster above that responsed to my post. You have it the otherway around its not me doing the name calling its the people on here that don't like what i have to say bout Dooley! Again i'm waiting for something that gives any street cred to what the Dooley supporters say bout Dooley. Like i said the info is in on Dooley too this point.

    As for Maturity gos you need to talk to the others on here that call posters that don't drink the koolaid "trolls and"fools" Thats not me! , Thats never been me!, And never will be me!
