The start of spring practice is a little more than a week away.
Tennessee has now nailed down exactly when it will end.
The Vols will wrap up Derek Dooley's first spring with the Orange and White Game on April 17, and the school announced today that it will be a 2 p.m. kickoff. UT will open with the first of 14 practices on March 18, officially going through Dooley's first workout with the team at 4 p.m.

Looking forward to a great year. I'm sure we will all be surprised. Personally thinking seven wins and a better
coaching job that last year...GO VOLS...

Those of us with a life will not be attending a practice. See you in August.

You aint chit- definately not a VOLUNTEER!!!Or you would be supporting the players and coaches!
davethevol writes:
Attendance was maxed out last year, so that won't happen. I think they only allowed 50,000 or so in due to construction and turned away several people. It will be the same max number this year.

Speak for yourself butthole. I for one am glad to get any chance to be inside Neyland watching my Vols

Anyone know when or where I can get my tickets for the orange and white game?
PoochPuntOn3rdDown writes:
Wrong, they'll let more people in this year, and the press release will conveniently omit the fact they capped last year's game at 50,000. And in no way do I disagree with this. Anything to make it look like the team has more support under Dooley than Kiffin is fine with me.
P.S. I have thought about posting this for a long time, but thought it might be stupid. The spell check on my computer recognizes the name 'Dooley', but puts a big red line under the name 'Kiffin'. Something about that is inherently hilarious to me...

Last year ESPNU televised a couple of spring games from various schools.... Does anyone know if they will pick-up the orange and white game this year???? I can't make it and would like to watch it....

My compliments. Butthole is such a richly descriptive term and obviously, it isn't yet in KNS' program to flag it as a no-no..

Back in January I called UT Sports office and they told me the O&W game would be on April 10, so I went ahead and made work plans on the 17th so I could be at the game on the 10th. I blame Lane Kiffin for this problem. So you guys cheer for me since I can't be there!

Ha.... I'm still waiting for the KNS to go all Hugo Chavez and start censoring all of the posts that bash them!!!!

My birthday is April 18, last years O&W game was exactly how I want to spend it. I hope this year they are going to do the same thing as far as pre-purchasing tix again.....worked out great.
AtLeastMyTeamHasPerfectSeasons writes:
As far as TV coverage goes, I have only heard UGA's so far as being televised live. Last year Tennessee's was shown like 2 weeks after it occurred. So going to it and then seeing it again later will be fine by me also.

There's one in every crowd. I am glad you are not a Hamilton "Fan". "Fan" of a team absolutly, a "Fan" of another man is just weird.

I can't stop laughing, LOL, nice come back and it's under the radar. I can't stop seriously..

Sucks for you that he actually has a point, but here...I'll break it down for you: DOOOLEEE GUD, KIFFIN BAAD.

Would not miss it for anything. We will even be tailgating to stay in practice for the season. My wife (a major Vol fan) is hosting a baby shower that day and has already made plans to quietly escape in time for kick-off. Sorry girls - momma's got more important things to do...

That's what I tell my wife 3-4 times a week.
And yes, I plan to be there!

I just recently got direct tv and feel I'm going to be missing out on a lot of the UT games this year. Please tell this isn't true? I hope not! Does anyone know if direct tv will air the O&W game on any of the sports package channels?

i'm surprised hooker hasn't written an article that the vols have a lot of catching up to do when it comes to spring practice.
some teams in the SEC have already begun their spring practice.
i still can't believe his article regarding 2011 commitments.
GerryOP writes:
99, let's just say that Hooker has been informed of his insufficiencies. He is an inpatient being treated for post-Kiffin-separation-depression. We are praying for his recovery. There will probably be occasional relapses which will be handled appropriately. We will pass on your kind regards.

The defending SEC and National Champion Alabama Crimson Tide will have their A Day game shown live on ESPN for the 3rd year in a row. April 17,
3PM, expect another 80K plus in attendance. There is no interest in UT outside of Tn. Alabama once again is a national attraction.
BIGGESTBPBREBORN writes:
Yeah, that's why you are posting on a UT site, Dingleberry!!

Alabubba who gives a S--T! Will any of the 80,000 have any teeth? No wait they all are getting their dental work done in the auto department at WalMart!
Alabubba, we are so scared, woo!

Win the SEC and the NC still doesn't fill that void does it? You still have to come to Tennessee to see how real men play football! I'll see you at the Orange and White game...I know you can't miss it!!
