This is a quick video I edited together about Inky Johnson's Motivational Speech To The Vols. It was a GREAT speech and I thought it deserved some epic motivational music with a quick look into the past.
SONGS USED IN THIS VIDEO:
#1 Ongmanibamai. Artist: Daiqing Tana - Album: Silent Sky
#2 Unbroken Road. Artist: Jeremy Soule. Album: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - The Original Videogame Soundtrack
#3 Fearful Odds. Album: Oblivion (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
NOTE: I do not own any of the footage in my Fan Videos. I only edit these videos together for fun.

Inky was going to be an awesome football player. But God found another use for his skill set.

Even if you are a Georgia, LSU, Florida, Tide, or any other fan of football you should enjoy this video. Inky Johnson was simply comparing football to life. Leave it all on the line, and give your all every day. Beautiful speech.

you are truly classy and much more than the Alabama fan who posted earlier, he doesn't even begin to know the true meaning of a volunteer for life!

When General Austin Shofner returned from WWII one of the first things he did was to visit his former Coach, General Robert Neyland. General Shofner had led the only escape from the Japanese POW camps in the Philippines, worked with the Filipino Resistance, reported to FDR (for the first time) the real conditions of Allied POWs; asked for another combat assignment and was wounded on the second day of the Liberation of Peleliu. After recovery was Headquarters Chief of Staff for the Invasion of Okinawa and lead a Diplomatic Liaison for the Liberation of China.... The two men were delighted to see one another, shook hands, and Shofner took a seat.... After some small talk, among Neyland and those few gathered, General Bob Neyland asked General Shofner how he was able to escape..... "Well, sir, I took one of you examples......., I looked for an Opportunity and I seized it..." Bob Neyland looked his former player dead in the eye.....and, the others in the room saw the only time tears came to Neyland's face, as these tears had mates. Neyland hugged Shofner and said, "Son, I am so Proud YOU are Home...!" A student athlete had taken the lesson to heart..... General Neyland's Maxims......, No. 2. Play for and make the breaks and when one comes your way - SCORE. The lesson NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER LET DOWN...... From the Smoky Mountains, to the Mighty Muddy, from Rolling Bluegrass, to Crimson Clover; MY, Our Tennessee and, at the end of the day, may She wrap her arms of Honor around me and Hold me Tight in Her Clay.... www.nytimes.com/1999/11/17/us/austin-conner-shofner-83-led-escape-at-pow-camp.html

I have always been a Vol fan. I grew up going to the games and have being going to home games since I was in 4th grade. I am about to graduate from UT this year, and I will always be a Vols fan - it's in my blood.
