This is the first weekend I'll be able to watch the game from the comfort of my own couch since the UVA game and I can't wait. We have some friends coming over who we converted to quasi-Vols fans back in the butch jones era if you can believe that. They contracted BVS REAL quick but still root for the big orange with us. We're either picking up indian food or firing up the big green egg and cooking ribeyes T-Rex style. It depends on how the day's going with the tiny dictator. Toddlers have a way of wrecking your plans one way or another, or at least ours does.

I've got my eye on the exact same games that you mentioned, Freak. Pretty good lineup of games tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great weekend and Go Vols!!!!!

You must be quite the salesperson if you converted fans to Tennessee while Butch Jones was here.

Grilling some ribeyes tonight and watching some of these games . Pretty solid Friday night slate. Taking my 2 and a half yo to Gameday in the morning at Duke. It’s kind of a once in a lifetime thing around here. I’m going to tailgate before the Duke vs Notre Dame and I have a ticket for the game, but I said NO. I’m not missing our game versus South Carolina . I’ve been waiting for this since last November .

Ribeye is always the right move.

Gameday is at Duke tomorrow? Who knew?

Finishing up bathroom remodel in the morning then heading to downtown Rocky Mount VA for their big 150th birthday celebration. Lots of bands, beer and tasty food. I’ll be back home in plenty of time to watch us crush the chickens.

Sounds fun. You must be getting an early start to make it back by game time.

Going fishing in the morning and just maybe if we have any luck we will be frying fish before the game.

Go Vols!

Let us know if you catch anything. I wish I was into fishing. Seems like it would be a fun hobby.

Late to the party this week.
Took the wife to see her ABSOLUTE favorite performer...Elle King with Jelly Roll tonight.

Going to have a very low key Saturday and probably do Taco Soup in the Crockpot for gametime.

I'll be watching at my friend's son's birthday party, probably on my phone since I'll be outnumbered by Bama fans. If i can pull off a miracle I'll watch it on his projector on the big screen.

I'm at work, was only staying until midnight, but they have 3 people out, so I'll probably stay later 😭. Off till next Friday after this though. Was going to Florida for a few days fishing, but everything with my wife going on, gotta wait on that.

I keep trying to tell you that you work too much.

Dear Dr Freak,
I live far away and will be watching the game at home on tv. My question is, should I wear all black?

Other than potential bad juju that could occur due to me not wearing orange on gameday, I am also very concerned that dark mode (turning living room lights off) might cause my wife to spill the beers she will bring me on demand.

Your advice is greatly appreciated.
- I4Vols

Ps: Patient confidentiality means you can't tell my wife about the second concern.

I think orange is always the safe move. If you have concerns, stick with what always works.

It’s the last of the dark. Saturday morning dawn will be creeping in. It’s Game Day! Capons for dinner!

View attachment 583217i hate Georgia! Auburn is the first of 3 losses for Georgia!

I'm going to tilt a windmill because I can't sleep:

1. Why hate any team or state? It seems like it's a lot of emotion and energy that could be used elsewhere?

2. Georgia is one of the states Tennessee relies on to form it's team. So do you think UT should stop recruiting from there? ie, Can your hate be that deep if you have GA players on your team?

3. What did Georgia do that's hate-worthy?

The ribeyes worked out pretty well and the football games were pretty entertaining last night.

I’ve lived in this area for most of my life and I never thought I’d see the day where Gameday came to Duke for football. This may not ever happen again in my lifetime. Just to make sure everyone knows that we’re keeping our little guy on the right path, he’s more excited about singing Rocky Top and wearing his new Tennessee Jersey than going to Gameday. He wants us to play Rocky Top on YouTube so that he can dance when we score.

I've only had Taco Soup once. My mom made it and she didn't like how it came out. I liked it, most people did. I look for it on menu's and food trucks, but have never seen it since.

IF your in the mood, I think several to many people here would be interested in the recipe you're going to follow if it's something that's written down. And/or pics of your process as you make it. Many of us like food prep pics.
