Wow, that's huge!!! To bad it's been a long time since our former players have had that kind of feeling. I think we have our leader in coach jones that can bring us back. I know he has yet to prove how good he is as a coach, but I don't know about you guys but I have not been this excited about Tennessee football in a long long time.

After watching that video and the passion from bill's voice I will find it hard to believe that his son will not be in orange next year. The love for Tennessee football from his dad will play a big role for Dillon.
