HAS BIG PLANS FOR VOLUNTEER ATHLETICS
KNOXVILLE - For decades, Tennessee fans have painted The Rock, with messages ranging from marriage proposals to football-frustration related threats. Yesterday, however, heat and humidity caused the accumulated paint to slide off The Rock in one heavy mass. But it's what local officials found wedged into the paint mass that's really amazing: former athletic director Mike Hamilton. Hamilton remains under observation in a Knoxville hospital, but we interviewed him over the phone.
EDSBS: Mr. Hamilton, how did you end up paint-entombed into The Rock?
HAMILTON: It's still pretty fuzzy.
