*****Freak’s Night Before the Oklahoma game admittedly off topic thread

This is kind of strange but this is the first time I’ve looked forward to a “big game” in a long time. I recall being favored going into the Florida game just knowing somehow, someway the wheels would fall off before most people were settled into their seat.Even though we beat Bama in’22 at no point on the Friday night before did I feel an air of excitement about the next day. There’s been this sense of both having football to look forward to and dread all at the same time. I doubt anyone here needs me to explain that feeling.

But tonight I’m actually excited about a truly big game, about the program, and chances of playing well in one of these types of games. And things may go wrong. We may not play well and lose this game, but I don’t have that sense of dread and almost a pit in the stomach of the inevitability of the train wreck to follow. So, tonight I guess from a psychological perspective it just feels nice to not feel that.
 
I played a gig tonight, and so many Vol fans came up to say "Go Vols". I love Perdido Key!View attachment 679075
Hell yeah! I played for about an hour and half on the piano at the homestead. My brain won't turn off. It's so nice to be excited about being on the national stage once again.

Goodnight Vol Brethren. We can always sleep on Sunday!
 
Daddy daughter date tonight (pizza followed by ice cream) while my wife had some friends over to the house for a girls’ night. Gonna do some prep for our upcoming camping trip tomorrow and basically kill time until kickoff. Haven’t been this excited for a game in a while. GBO!!

For the first time in two decades, it doesn’t feel like we need everything to go smoothly for our team to compete and win. We finally seem to have some depth and smart game planning.

Oddly enough, I just got back from Dreamland BBQ while spending the night in Tuscaloosa. Going to the MSU v Fla game in Starkville tomorrow. I feel a bit traitorous. Will catch the game in my daughter’s apartment tomorrow night .
Next time in Ttown, go to Archibald’s for your Q. Much better!!
