Freak's Friday before the Austin Peay game, admittedly off topic thread

[Freak]

Home opener tomorrow! What does everyone have planned for the weekend?

Who's going? Anyone traveling a long distance to get here?

Those not planning to attend, what are your game day plans? Food menu?

Other college games you're looking forward to?

Anyone catching a high school game tonight?

It's an off topic thread, so post about whatever is on your mind tonight.

Go Vols!

Going tomorrow, the wife and I are coming to Knoxville from Kingsport for her first time in Neyland Stadium! I’m so freaking pumped up right now. I know it’s just Austin Peay but I have never been to a home game with an alternate uniform so pretty stoked about that also!

Today's Knoxville News Sentinel has you covered on game options to eat and park in the Go Knoxville section of the paper.

There are also articles on Spyre Sports and a couple of Florida watch parties being given by the Volunteer Club at Neyland Stadium and at the Jacob Building Tent at Chilhowee Park
during the Tennessee Valley Fair.

Also an article on how the Condredge Holloway Smokey Gray Uniforms came into existence.

Gonna have to just listen to WIVK.

Spectrum takes my money for the SEC Channel and gives me *$%@.

 

[malinoisvol]

I plan on cussing ESPN+ at 5pm. By 5:10 the game will finally show up on my screen. Happens every time we on da plus. Smh

???

Wait, what? Did Disney cut off Comcast also?

 

[McDad]

I'm gonna listen to the radio broadcast. Starting a major renovation next week which means I've got prep work to do. Hearing "into the cheggarboards" multiple times will make the work go faster.

 

[ohhbother]

I’ll be traveling to Chicago for work tomorrow and am hoping to see at least some of the game after my flight lands but before I have to go to a meeting and dinner. I already have my TiVo set to record the game replay on SEC Network next week, so I’ll see it all - eventually.

 

[orangepenez]

Headed to the beach with the fam tomorrow morning. It’s planes, trains and automobiles to get there from Colorado so I’m going to record it and watch it over a bucket of fried shrimp tomorrow night. GBO!!!

Today's my birthday...starting the last of the 40s.
Wife is taking me to dinner and then to the VFW for karaoke (yes, I always rip out a rendition of Rocky Top) where the IU fans will have the IU game on tv...and I agree with Coach Tom Allen - College ball should never be played on a Friday night.

Friend of ours is having a cookout tomorrow to christen his new "workshop" that happens to have a 55" TV. He's already stated he gets ESPN+ and the game will.be on for us transplants !!!

 

[bray2milton]

Nervously counting down a double spinal fusion in C5 C6 and C6 C7. Set my date today for the surgery. September 22. I am in misery now so I have to have it. I hate surgeries though!

Work..

I was finishing our basement during football season several years ago. Listening to us lose to Florida while framing up one of the corners. Took all my frustrations out driving nails into that multi-stud corner. The whole house may fall down before that corner does.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Not saying I'll actually watch them but:
CO - Nebraska
aTm - Miami
TX - Bama
will get my attention at some point.

Burgers I don't have to grill.
Bourbon I don't have to pour.
Beatdown I don't have to worry about happening.

The way Saturday should be in TN.

 

[Starchief13VFL]

Not venturing into town today or tomorrow, Texas is coming. The University of Burnt warned my son on Mon that they are bringing an estimated 80,000 folks. They have rented every venue available for parties.
Be watching:
Nebraska v Colorado (eldest son lives in Lincoln)
My Beloved Vols
Burnt v Bama

 

[Vol$_Deep_11_9]

Football for the youngest boy tomorrow morning, going to get home and catch some games before ours. Always look forward to our games. Best game of the day though, IMO, will be Bama/Texas. Going to watch with a few friends and kill some suds.

Happy Birthday dude. Hope you get a resounding Vol victory as a late gift

My friend I’ve had 10 back surgeries. I’ll be praying for you that all goes well and smooth for you.

I’m leaving tomorrow going to Norris lake for a few days. I live in Kingsport so it’s about 1hr 40min drive. Check in is 4pm so I’ll be watching the game at the house I’m renting there then get up early the next day to do some all day fishing.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

I’ll be wishing we were playing someone relevant

 

[YankeeVol]

Camping tonight and tomorrow night in Lenoir City for the game. I'll make the game thread when I get there.

 

[Voltopia]

I'll spend tonight wishing I had NCAA Football 2023 so I could be creating Austin-Peay in the "Create A Team" editor, so I could then play a game as Tennessee against them and find out if the scoreboard actually does break after 200 points. And probably playing a game called Starfield to pass the time until kickoff. *exhale* It's a living.

 

[volfan4evr]

The HOA is having the parking lot sealed tomorrow. Guess I'll just have to stay in and watch football.....

I'm also looking forward to those. Ole Miss at Tulane, Texas A&M at Miami and (if you can stay up late enough) Auburn at Cal are also watch-worthy, IMO.
