The Tennessee Titans pay a visit Fort Campbell
April 23, 2010
The Tennessee Titans closed out their thirteenth Titan’s Caravan yesterday with a visit to the Fort Campbell Kentucky Army Base. The caravan made 5 stops on base, including the Fort Campbell High School Football team, visiting with wounded soldiers at the base hospital, a visit to the 160th SOAR (Nightstalkers), and a stop at the Fort Campbell PX. “We always save the best for last, and Fort Campbell is our final date” said Bob Hyde the Vice President of Community Relations for the Tennessee Titans.

Unlike most of the Caravan stops which generally feature only one Titans player, for the Fort Campbell visit five Titans players were on hand, Jared Cook, Jacob Ford, Ahamard Hall, Donnie Nickey and Craig Stevens. In addition to the players there were 4 Titans cheerleaders: Briane B., Chocez H., Jena L., and Jessi P. Last and certainly not least, who could forget the ever flamboyant T-RAC!
The Titan’s take very seriously this opportunity to come and say thank you to the Soldiers and their families at Fort Campbell, as Bob Hyde said, “When we go through and the guys find out that it’s recruiting day to see who’s goes to Fort Campbell, we have more volunteers than we can handle. I sheepishly go though and get a couple of guys and then go because they are all going to be mad at me because they don’t get to come.”

The Titans Caravan paid a visit to Clarksville
April 17, 2010
The Tennessee Titans Caravan stopped in Clarksville, TN yesterday at the Shoe Carnival on Wilma Rudolph Blvd. Each day a different player headlines the Titans Caravan, on this day it was #71 Michael Roos, one of the NFL’s top linemen and a building block of the Titans’ future. He was joined by Titans mascot T-Rac, the “Voice of the Titans” Mike Keith, Titans Radio Gameday Host Larry Stone and other Titans staff members. The vast majority of Caravan visits are presented by one of the nearly 70 affiliates of the Titans Radio Network, the exclusive radio home of the Titans, in this case it was local Radio Station WJZM, which was represented by its owner Hank Bonecutter and other station staff.
