Grounds crew is pisssssssed. Luckily they have 7 months before kickoff. Well worth it.

Not 7 months till spring practice and the orange and white game. I wouldn't be happy either if I was the grounds crew either.

However I was part of a huge snowball fight across campus and my wife still talks about it every time it snows. Would be even cooler if it had happened at Neyland.

Back in early 70s I learned a hard lesson in front of Reese hall. Don't get into a snowball fight with a group of strangers who turn out to be the UT baseball team. Ouch

When I was a student there was still turf on the field (until my last year). They didn't care if you went on the field. There wasn't even a locked gate. People threw Frisbee or played pickup football all the time in Neyland.

They they put in the real grass. The fun was over.

I hope no student got shot and killed like in 1965, during a snowball fight on Cumberland, in front of the Hill.

During the biggest snow we had when I was in school, about a dozen people got on top of Alumni Hall and rained down snowballs as class let out of Cox. Funniest thing I've ever seen.

After many hours giving thought to this post I made, I felt the need to post again letting everyone know that it was sarcasm.
Which is sad.

Yep.
Sarcasm: noun
1.
harsh or bitter derision or irony.
2.
a sharply ironical taunt; sneering or cutting remark: a review full of sarcasms.
Sad indeed to have to clarify. LOL

I was part of an epic snowball fight in December '84 or January '85. There was so much snow that the University actually cancelled classes that day.

I lived in Clement Hall. The fight lasted about two hours, ranging back and forth across Cumberland Avenue. The biggest battles occurred for control of the pedestrian bridge over Cumberland. I remember two or three KPD cruisers stopping to tell us to break it up. One of the officers was *ahem* brave enough to step out of her cruiser (leaving the driver's side door open) and loudly state "The next person who throws a snowball is going to jail!"

There were about fifty of us standing on or around the bridge at the time. It took her about ten minutes to get all the snow out of her cruiser by the time we were finished.

I remember not being able to move my right arm for a day or so after that fight. It just don't get much better than that day.
