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

Wife and I are headed down I-75 to Gainesville for our first experience in the swamp. Have heard all the horror stories some have posted on here, but we'll just have to take our chances. Plus, when you're 6'3" and 250+ lbs, people tend to leave you alone. Went to Baton Rouge last year and had a wonderful time. Here's hoping this trip turns out the same. After that we're heading on to Cocoa Beach for a few days. Go Vols!!!

It was a terrrible place to be a visitor in the 2000s. They were rough, but I expect they have calmed in the last 15 years. There is much less to feel superior about.

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.

Mentioned last week, Joe, the company I work for is tops in Urology devices and we do a lot of work with USC Keck...trust me, she can not be in better hands !!!

That said, imma still pray for you, her, the doctors, and everyone involved for an amazing outcome.

I would be interested in trying it with coconut vodka.

  • 1/2 cup pulpless orange juice
  • 2 oz whipped cream vodka (Pinnacle is my personal favorite!) Garnish: whipped cream, orange slices
    • Serve over Sonic Ice

I think you will enjoy the role reversal in tomorrows game.

My prediction is that Florida wins the majority of “snaps”. But, because of Tennessee’s style of play, they make the snaps that they win count

Thank you, and you could tell how intelligent these folks were in the zoom call. It may sound weird, but you could see that main Dr thinking .

Our high school, in their infinite wisdom, agreed to reschedule our high school football game to tomorrow night at 7. Our daughter is in the band and we volunteer, so we are there. In addition, the Bristol night Nascar race is going on at the same time as well. I plan to record and watch in the middle of the night.

Right before the game, we will be feeding our dog biscuits shaped like Florida gators. There’s also a gator toy we give him to chomp (where he’s already removed most of the legs). He also has a storm trooper jersey.

Flashback to Rocky's first vols vs. gators game. The gator no longer exists...

Just arrived in FL. Going to grab a bite to eat and rest up for tomorrow after a 7 hour trip down here.

Last year I broke a bad streak of my own. Had been to 5 consecutive games and the Vols had lost every one of them...including to UCLA in Pasadena and GA State.

Things turned around last year when I traveled to K- town to see TN beat the gators. I'm looking for the Vols to break the streak at the Swamp and me break the same streak as we lost the last two games I attended in Gainesville.

Will be starting tailgating activities around 3:30 tomorrow, so looking forward to meeting some Vol brothers and sisters before the game.
