If Tennessee’s football players needed any motivation to start and finish their second Habitat for Humanity home build in two summers, they only needed to look next door.

I love this. Not only are they doing something great for the community. It's a great way to build personal character and there is not a better way to build team chemistry.

Wes, heard you on the radio this morning - talking smack with the mouth of the south - no not findabomb - but Bill the radio salesperson King. Glad I heard you up here in Wisconsin.
Regarding the article, having worked on a Habitat House, this is a good exercise. The one I worked on was done mostly by women and they worked their tales off. Of course, I thought I worked harder, but it arguable. Good for the team, nice positive contribution.

Dallas Thomas sounds like a classy kid. Great to see these guys giving back to the community. The VFL program may turn out to be the biggest thing that ever happened to UT sports.
BUTCH IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. GO VOLS!
