A Farewell To Josh Dobbs

You'll always be our QB1.

A Farewell To Josh Dobbs
Sports on Earth

Josh "Astro" Dobbs,

The day finally came–you played your last game as quarterback for the University of Tennessee. While myself and thousands of other Vols fans are very sad to see you leave and prepare for graduation, we also are very grateful that you gave your all for Tennessee during the past four years.


During your time as QB1 for the Vols, you demonstrated way more than just being able to make a great pass. You showed fans all over the world that the Volunteer Spirit is upheld both on and off the field. Besides working hard every day at practice, you kept an outstanding GPA as an aerospace engineering major, volunteered in the local Knoxville community, and served as a role model for younger Vol fans, who hope to grow up to play football just like you.

This past football season, you helped make history for the Vols. You lead your team 5-0 for the beginning of the season. You can look back and say with a smile that you were the quarterback when the Vols broke the 11-year losing streak against Florida. And if that's not enough, no one will ever forget the "Hail Mary" pass against Georgia. (Seriously, I think we all had heart attacks.)

As a current student at UT, I can truly say so it was incredible to have you as our quarterback. We are your family and will continue to be after graduation. I have to admit that I'm going to miss seeing students dress up like astronauts or wearing pins that say "Astro Dobbs" at every game next year. But, it really was fun while it lasted. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.


Whatever your plans are after graduation, I know without a shadow of a doubt in my mind you will succeed. Your hard-work, dedication, integrity, and outstanding attitude will take you far in life. We will miss you. So, thank you, Josh Dobbs, for giving your all for Tennessee. Go Dobbs. Go Butch. Go Vols.


Sincerely,


A fellow Volunteer

There is always a time in the semester when you have about three papers, four tests, five assignments and two projects due within the same time period. Isn't that just the best?

It's almost as if the professors all plot against you just to make college even more stressful than it already is. No matter how many people try to make you feel better, no one ever compares to your mom. Moms always know exactly what to say.
