I will no longer post recruiting or rock painting updates on this blog. Last year VN asked us to stop soliciting donations on the VN site so I created this blog for that purpose. They seemed fine with it at that point.
Fast forward to 2013 ... every post I've tried to initiate about this blog gets removed by the VN mods almost immediately. Apparently, I upset the mods at VN. I can't even redirect people to this site from the VN forums. The only purpose of this site was to have a separate conduit for donations to the rock painting fund. I've always been above board with donations and making sure the funds were used for rock paintings.
Again, I'd like to thank the generous VFLs that made donations to the Rock Painting fund over the past two years. It's a fun way for Vol fans to getr involved with the process. And I do believe it makes a difference in our recruiting.
Ertel and Jake ... If you read this -- sorry guys, you're on your own. Not much else I can do from my side. I'll make sure you guys get the donations made the past couple of weeks. Good luck with the painting.
I'll conintue to monitor the blog peridocially for comments and such but will be making no new posts.

2013 Official Visits
UPDATE: We got enough donations to complete the 2013 rock paintings. Thanks to our generous donors! Ertel and crew will have the funds by Friday. Check back here for pictures of the rock paintings. Go Vols!!
------------------------------------
Numerous recruits will be in town to see our beautiful campus this weekend. Ertel plans to paint each recruiting weekend up until signing day. We're in the hunt for some big time recruits and it's time VN did our part. Let's show them how serious we are about our football. You guys remember last year the kind of impression the rock paintings made on several recruits.
We need your help, though. The supplies needed for painting can be expensive. I volunteered again to donate my time and PayPal account this year to help distribute funds to Ertel and his painting crew. If you would like to contribute, please logon to the PayPal website and use your credit or debit card to make a payment to my e-mail account (mjsmith1967@yahoo.com). This is the same process we used last year with success. We just need some VFLs to help us.
Disclaimer: All funds donated to my PayPal account for the purpose of painting the rock will be distributed to Ertel for the purchase of paint and supplies. No money will be kept by me or Ertel for our own personal gain. We just love the Vols and want to help our school any way possible.
