GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- Tusculum College hosted its annual football media day Thursday afternoon at Pioneer Field with a number of media representatives in attendance. TC football players, coaches and staff were present for interviews and photos with regional media outlets from the East Tennessee region.

Eight scribes and sportscasters, representing four newspapers (Greeneville Sun, Knoxville News Sentinel, Morristown Citizen Tribune and Johnson City Press), one radio station (Radio Greeneville, Inc.) and one television outlet (WJHL-TV), were present as TC head coach Frankie DeBusk and players answered questions about the upcoming 2007 campaign, which will kickoff Saturday, Aug. 25 when the Pioneers travel to West Virginia to battle the University of Charleston.

"We are very excited about this year's team and are pleased to speak to everyone about what's going on with Tusculum Football," said DeBusk. "We are very fortunate for the outstanding media coverage we receive and appreciate everyone's interest in our program. It means a great deal to our fans, alumni, parents, but most importantly, our student-athletes."

The Pioneers open practice Friday morning at 6:30 a.m. Full-speed practices will commence on Tuesday, Aug. 7.
