I’ll be watching the game for McMinnville Tennessee. I’m housesitting the weekend and looking forward to an exciting game tomorrow. I think of monster hamburger with bacon and cheese then a small pile of fries will be necessary tomorrow afternoon. Grilled burger and baked fries.

Bo Big Joe!!!

How is an undefeated Tennessee ranked below Alabama in the AP Top 25, when 'Bama has already lost a game? I know they lost to a highly ranked team, but UT is very good and I view this as unacceptable or at the very least, very, very annoying.

IDK, I don't care WHO they lost to, it seems like it should drop them out of the 15 or 20 and that several schools should have a similar complaint.

I mentioned in this thread last week about a possible transplant for my wife. We just had a zoom call with the team at USC Keck medical center, and it looks like she's going to be the world's first ever bladder transplant patient. There's some ground work to do, so it'll likely be a couple of months. I'm just mentioning, because we need folks who pray to be praying if you will.

I moved to Florida in 1990, the same year SOS arrived in Gainesville as HC.
The timing could not have been worse. I thought getting to see my Vols every
other year at an “ away “ game would be great. We all know how that worked
out. To make matters worse, 90% of the folks in the very large office complex
where I worked were Gator fans. Oh the abuse I took for all those years.
On a more positive note, the last game I attended in The Swamp was 2001.
Gators heavy favorite; SOS ‘s last Gator game ; before the game Gator fans
were throwing roses, certain that they would be playing for the natty in that
venue. We all know what happened. That was my last trip to The Swamp.
I retired on a winning note. We’ve been abused many times since then, but
” I’ll always have 2001 “.

It’s been a long week. Wednesday at 530 I get a call that my dad is having a stroke and is headed to the hospital. So I spent most of the day there with him. He kept having spells of aphasia and weakness. Fast forward of three days of testing and therapy he’s doing well now but they don’t know what caused the episodes. He is in good spirits and said it was because of the Austin Peay game. Anyway, he’s stable and doing well so I’m headed to yee haw brew to see a concert tonight then relax tmr eat lots of food and watch our vols beat them gators tmr

Traveling back home to CO from Gulf Shores and it’s been a doozy with mechanical problems on the first plane, multiple schedule changes, etc. 3 plane rides back to back with our 18-month old, who is taking it like a champ! Going to watch the game tomorrow at a bar with some friends then we’re walking straight into Ball Arena after it’s over to see Eric Clapton! Go VOLS!!!!!!!

“ friends “ should NEVER schedule weddings during football season.
Click to expand...

I think all or almost all weddings should happen the week before the Superbowl because there's always a major golf tournament, NCAA hoops game, NBA play off game, national holiday, NCAA football game, NFL regular or post season game, MLB play off game, Braves game, I like 1-4 NASCAR races a year,

I mean, C'mon people, say the vows at half time or seventh inning stretch or SOMETHING..... give sports fans the opportunity without out any social pressure to pretend they don't really, really want to at LEAST be checking the score if not out and out totallyyyyyyy focused on a game OR cast/project the game on to the wedding dress or on some wall the reception area.

Give us SOMETHING to work with.

"said it was because of the Austin Peay game."

Love that because he sounds like he's doing well enough to have a sense of humor about it, but I'm glad he's getting checked out anyway.
