Awesome! It's nice to see another(one of many) former University of Tennessee student-athlete continuing to succeed after his college days are through. He's just another reason we are called, "Wide Receiver U" .

nakamine, if you don't like Vol fans being happy when our guys do well you can go elsewhere. If you know anything about the history of UT, you'd know that Clinkscales is part of the tradition that helped give the University of Tennessee the name, "Wide Receiver U."
Congrats Joey.

Congragulations Joey...
I have enjoyed watching your highlights on the Greatest Vols Wide Recievers video. I was a couple of years too late.

Joey C. brought a different dimension to Wide Receiver U. We had the speed merchants like Mike Miller, Willie Gault, Anthony Hancock, Anthony Morgan, etc., etc., but Joey C. had incredible leaping ability, somewhat like Larry Seivers. Only old timers will get this, but as a Bearden guy we used to joke that we could read Joey C.'s shoe size when he jumped over us (back in "the day" when Converse ruled basketball shoes and put the shoe size on the bottom of the sneaker). The guy made circus catches for us in that magical 85 Sugar Bowl season.
