Casting ‘Tennessee: The Dave Hart Era’

Casting ‘Tennessee: The Dave Hart Era’

Sports 180 had its traditional Tennessee sports movie casting on Wednesday.

The idea is pretty simple: When a key figure leaves the Tennessee athletic department, we cast the movie of the major players from that time period.

Dave Hart’s tenure as the athletic director at Tennessee ended on Friday, which meant it was time for another casting call.

As always, we allowed ourselves an unlimited budget. And as always, we cast ourselves into the movie. After all, it’s our “movie.”

Many thanks to the listeners for your suggestions. They sure kept us entertained.

Here’s the cast for “Tennessee: The Dave Hart Era” as it stands today. It always remains subject to change. (Click each actor’s name for his or her IMDB bio.)
