I got this picture off another board. I`m also including the accompanying post that explains it. Now this is pretty COOL!! :D

This water tower posted above was done by troops from the 101st Airborne from Ft. Campbell who have been in Iraq since March. Thought I would share it with all Vols on here!

 

As seen from the photo taken in front of Uday Hussein's Mosul bachelor pad overlooking the Tigris River, even he was gearing up for football time in Tennessee!

 

The commander is a die-hard UT fan and thought he and his guys would put a little bit of UT pride in Iraq! Thought you all would appreciate this.

 

The 101st has been very busy in Iraq collecting weapons, commanding soldiers, etc. However, these past few days the commander took on a mission of a different kind. In his bitterness, as a proud UT Alumnus, he will probably not be here for this football season. However, even in Iraq, he has still found a way to support his team. This week, the commander hired several Iraqi civilians, using his own soldiers to pull security, to paint this water tower --- I guess now he feels a little more at home.

 

GO VOLS! AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!

 

With the help of & thanks to FerrisHall, I am able to show you this Iraqi Utilities Improvement Project, Big Orange with White Power "T", courtesy of the Red, White, & Blue:

    • Jason Lambert should be the only choice for the Baseball coaching position. 
    • From the stats I found online it looks like Gabe Eddington- .484, 44 total hits, 43 runs scored and 42 stolen bases.Meanwhile, on the mound, the Austin Peay commit had a record of 8-2, while compiling 50 innings pitched with an ERA of 1.82. Carson Parrott - 7-0 overall as a starting pitcher with a 1.41 ERA, 95 strikeouts and a save in 53 and 1/3 innings pitched. Parrott hit .392 with 3 home runs, 21 RBIs with a .566 OBP and .716 SLG. Jaxon Walker - .454, 53 hits, 38 RBI’s, 9 HRs.   Not saying the other three aren’t deserving but Quillen had better BA than all three and was just as dominate pitching.  Like I said I don’t know how you leave off the 3a Baseball player of the year last year when he put up better numbers.  I know Greeneville’s Coach wasn’t happy about it saying “I don’t give a s*** what anybody else says. That kid is the best player in Tennessee, and everybody else on our team rises to his level“.  I’m sure winning another State Championship as a junior is more important to Carson than the individual award, it’s just a head scratcher to not be nominated
    • What coach in their right mind would want to come here and set theirself on fire to keep her warm.
