<br />
<strong>KNOXVILLE -- </strong><a href="http://www.utladyvols.com/sports/w-soccer/mtt/dowd_emily00.html">Emily Dowd</a> and <a href="http://www.utladyvols.com/sports/w-soccer/mtt/shore_emily00.html">Emily Shore</a> share more than just a first name. <br />
As kids, they shared mini-van rides. They shared friends and teammates. They played on their first club team together, and they stuck together as they progressed through the club ranks as teenagers. <br />
They even shared the same college choice - even if it wasn't the obvious one for two soccer players who grew up in Gainesville, Fla. <br />

Lane Kiffin was still UT's football coach. Miley Cyrus was still in her horrible music-making prime. Nobody knew who Rebecca Black was.<br /><br />So what happened? I got Twitter. It's quick, easy, and worked on my phone. For all of their world-dominating ways, Google has struggled with making Blogger mobile-friendly.<br /><br />But, I've been fortunate enough to start contributing to UTSports.com and UTLadyVols.com on a semi-frequent basis over the last few months, and those contributions will become more frequent in the near future. You'll notice I've linked to most of my features over the last year here in the blog. I'll continue to link to the full stories posted there. I'll also run some fresh stuff here, maybe excerpts from interviews that were cut from a story, sometime full stories that I'll write but we just don't have a place for on the UT sites.<br /><br />You'll also notice that I haven't monetized the blog, so I'm not making anything off of it. It wouldn't be fair or appropriate to gain financially from some of the behind-the-scenes access that I'm granted to write and to help out at events.<br /><br />Hope you enjoy what's been posted and what's coming soon.Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17214103295194754748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710467007553143454.post-56352359925692592362011-07-31T22:13:00.001-04:002011-07-31T22:16:22.516-04:00Connecting Through Camps<p><b>Posted to UTSports.com July 29, 2011</b></p><p><strong>KNOXVILLE -- </strong> Hundreds of young athletes spend part of their summer vacations improving their games and skills at one of Tennessee's summer sports camps.

But just two days without it and I'd give anything to be with those guys for one more day."<br /><br />That's why Josh McNeil is coming back to football, even though he'll pay for every step and may not be as dominant as before. "I would rather be out there 75 percent of what I used to be and knowing the next play could cripple me for life than wonder what could have been.""</blockquote><br /><a href="http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/2009/09/08/pain-wont-keep-josh-mcneil-from-his-senior-season/">http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/2009/09/08/pain-wont-keep-josh-mcneil-from-his-senior-season/</a>Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17214103295194754748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710467007553143454.post-56510472153544697632009-09-04T15:06:00.001-04:002009-09-04T15:07:45.152-04:00Hilarious post from an LSU board<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvv9XZVL70Llp2qliokCboLPRi-jFWnMD64YxKzYAWzGAE9-FJdibtH94U8dcZiGlJ2-rsGIx50VL8Gzmfc2TxqSNoverTtALBi9FRHpAwT5cz3rB9FphjGoGFSXrSB61_uv5ELGLatwc/s1600-h/crosswalks.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 372px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvv9XZVL70Llp2qliokCboLPRi-jFWnMD64YxKzYAWzGAE9-FJdibtH94U8dcZiGlJ2-rsGIx50VL8Gzmfc2TxqSNoverTtALBi9FRHpAwT5cz3rB9FphjGoGFSXrSB61_uv5ELGLatwc/s400/crosswalks.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377690998618475122" border="0" /></a><br />This is the funniest thing I've seen in quite awhile.Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17214103295194754748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710467007553143454.post-38254193030002189892009-08-17T22:44:00.003-04:002009-08-17T22:49:21.713-04:00I'd like to see Ed Orgeron coach this guy.
