WBIR Videos of the UT Bar Fight Incident, Including Will Overstreet and Derek Dooley's Statement

by David Hooper on Jul 9, 2010 9:38 PM EDT in Tennessee Volunteer Football

A hearty note of thanks to WBIR for making these videos available for sharing. The first is Dooley's statement. The original plan was to not take questions, but he did allow a couple of general queries from the press corps. That was probably a nice touch, given that the Knoxville media has been a little disappointed with the Sabanesque access limitations.

The next video is a short interview with the owner of Bar Knoxville and with Will Overstreet (again from WBIR ). A little more detail is available on what started the incident and on the VIP status.

Yet another video, though you probably know most of this already.

Dooley is great for the UT Football program

Tough, honest, fair, down-to-earth, former lawyer, former AD, and – we think – pretty darn good football coach and recruiter.

Can’t wait for the season to start…

COEXISTence is difficult when core beliefs are mutually exclusive and those on the other side keep blowing up buildings, people, etc.

And just so everybody knows,

we’ll be settling into maintenance mode from here on out. If major news happens, we’ll discuss, but I don’t see this saturating our daily routine otherwise.

There are still a lot of other things to talk about in Vols sports.

I, for one, commend you guys at RTT for your leadership thru this "crisis"

No idea what went on behind the scenes, but what showed up in the posts and comments is among the best out there “on a little thing I like to call the Internet”.

And, no five day waiting period.

(Is a comment by a visitor on the Trojan website the equivalent of felon screening for a handgun purchase?)
