Trey Smith

Worth reading 8.3.18: The entire Trey Smith story, plus pre-practice news

If you read only one thing about the Vols today . . .

. . . make it this, from ESPN’s Chris Low:

Yes, that Smith has been treated for blood clots and is anticipated to be back this fall has already been reported, but this is a more in-depth look at what and how it all happened, with some great perspective directly from Smith and those closest to him. Definitely worth the read even a day or two after the “news.”

This edition of Worth Reading is brought to you by . . . a HAT!

Sure, the Vols may be mothballing those smokey grey jerseys, but that doesn’t mean you can’t buck the trend by wearing an awesome grey hat in the stands. This one has a Power T on the front and “Tennessee” on the back, so you’re reppin’ the team even if you’re walking backwards. The hat is also apparently made with “AeroBill technology.” I don’t know what that is, but it sounds fancy. (It’s wicking technology that is designed to keep you cool.)
