spain Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 (edited) The on-field mascot for my beloved Tennessee Volunteers is a Bluetick Coonhood named Smokey IX. Blueticks have an incredible sense of smell. They can track the faintest scent over miles of rugged terrain in the worst conditions. Escaped convicts and wild game essentially stand no chance when these fellas get on their scent. But they are lovers, not fighters. They are a handsome breed. A better hunting dogs you will not find. Sure and strong and proud with a distinctive bark. But they arent getting into the pit with a Pit Bull. Maybe thats why Vick chose to go to school somewhere else.

Randall Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Nice looking canine. I've never heard of that breed before. Mike Vick and his co-conspirators should get in the pit with the Pit Bulls. Dogs are wonderful animals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffian Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Nice looking canine. I've never heard of that breed before. Mike Vick and his co-conspirators should get in the pit with the Pit Bulls. Dogs are wonderful animals. Maybe Vick's legendary foot speed can be attributed to a more logical reason... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBone Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Nice looking canine. I've never heard of that breed before. I had never heard of them either, until a stray Blue Tick pup wander into my life. He's bout 3 years old now and that dog was born to run, and hunt. Already this summer he has brought me three rabbits. I hope Vick gets whats comming to him.

polksalet Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 I remember when he was offered to play for uf. He took the ACT and made like a 12. Admissions rejected him for scoring so high. They said anyone who made over a 10 must have cheated somehow as that had never heard of a score that high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
