Here's a Shea Ralph interview about the rivalry:

Fun quote from Shea Ralph on history with UT

Ralph quote about a national championship game: They (meaning TN) were really well-known for their pressure defense back in the day. So I remember in our championship game getting like 100 backdoor layups, and that was a lot of fun."

Another Vanderbilt Coach Shea Ralph quote:
"I just remember getting so sick of that song. That 'Rocky Top.' Like, 'Oh gosh, if they play it one more time.' And then all the orange when you go and play at their gym. It's so much orange."

Yep that was the national championship game in Philly we were talking about the other day. Catch was out and Ace turned her ankle in shoot around and was out. The back door beating was not only agonizing, it was the moment where it became apparent Geno's offense had overtaken Pat's fabled defense. And the LVs had no offensive answer, until they got the same offensive answer they had always relied on - the best player by miles, Ms Candace Parker.

As far as Dear Shea's assessment of TBA, which at that time was orange all the way down to the seats, what she actually said was TBA looked like someone threw up orange all over it. I've never forgotten that one.

No you're right. I'm not quite old enough to remember the early 1900s, but as a kid in the 1960s I remember "TB Hospitals" or "Sanitoriums". They were old and dilapidated and scary at that point, but definitely had been in use. Not sure if people w TB were forced into them but they existed. My great grandmother, an Irish immigrant, died of TB in the 1920s but she died at home.

Since people started going to school, traveling internationally, joining the military . . . Basically since people started doing activities where they mingled closely with others who may catch a disease from them.

virus, infection, 'desease' whatever you call it. I'm about to have a grandbaby and have been advised we all need DPT shots bc whooping cough, pertussis, is making a comeback. Vaccines to fight transmissible disease is not new, nor is public disclosure of them to enter public settings. It's basic public health. Wasn't controversial until made political recently. If you don't want to disclose your vaccine status that's fine, but stay the hell away from breathing on me.

Asking to see a part of someone's medical history before admission to a sporting or other similar event is unprecedented in the USA, as far as my memory goes. And it goes a long way back now. (Not always accurate, but.........) It is a very disturbing development IMO, especially since the vaccines do not stop the spread of the disease, ie. - those who are vaccinated can transmit it just as if they weren't vaccinated. Admission should be based on free will: If you are unsure, don't show up. If you are willing to take the risk of infection, go ahead and attend. Again, vaccinated people are disease spreaders as are unvaccinated, so what is the point of this policy?

The town I grew up in had a TB sanitarium (I guess the name has something to do with sanitizing) that was a “Mental Hospital” when I was young. Very scary looking stone Victorian edifice.
My mother had an Uncle that died of TB when she was a girl. Horrible disease.

So, I think if you are vaccinated and are asymptomatic you would carry a lesser load of the virus and are therefore less likely to spread it. Hopefully a medical person, not an optometrist😳, will make a correction if I am wrong on that.
Don’t you just look forward to the day when you can go a whole day without hearing the word Covid!!

We were talking about tuberculosis. Another airborne virus that attacked the lungs causing hemorrhaging in the lungs. A big killer for many years. I can remember as a little kid getting tested at school every year for tuberculosis. Test was a skin prick. Some folks now would lose their doo doo if their kids was being tested for a disease at school. It was just part of public health policy in the sixties.

Maybe they went with the 9 p.m. tip-off thinking it might keep some of the orange-wearing fans from making the drive to Nashville if the game starting so late would put them getting back home at 2 a.m. :confused:

Remember this is an 8 pm start in Nashville, prime time for crowd and much of the SEC for TV

Per your point, when it comes to epidemiology, it does not make sense to talk in absolute terms (i.e. vaxxed people do or do not spread the virus). It is a matter of probabilities. Vaxxed people can get breakthrough cases, particularly with omicron, and they can be asymptomatic spreaders. However, your odds of contracting covid are much lower if you are vaxxed; your odds of significant, life threatening or debilitating long haul systems are much lower if you are vaxxed; and your odds of being an asymptomatic spreader are much lower if you are vaxxed; and as you note, vaxxed people, if they are in the small fraction of those spreading, carry a much lower viral load than the non-vaxxed. But in the days of omicron, masking and socially distancing are still excellent practices even if someone is fully vaxxed.

I was in France last month, right when omicron was hitting, To go anywhere (ride a train, eat in a cafe, go to an indoor entertainment event), you have to show proof of vax status or a negative covid test in the last 48 hours (all the pharmacies do walk-in tests). No French person i knew saw these precautions as a slippery slope to totalitarianism. They appreciated the piece of mind it brought (call it freedom from anxiety).

Also, youcancallmeAl, vaccine passports are not unprecedented in US history; a version of the vax passport was key to eradicating small pox:

History of vaccine passports in the US

Plus, public schools require proof of vaccination (or a religious exemption).
