Sounds like you're describing your football season.

Catch it if you can seems to describe our receiving corps.

Biggest memory of Norm Macdonald was when he dropped the F bomb on SNL.

His final broadcast too...

funniest man that used to be alive

^^^ this. Love that man. My daughter and I still periodically watch his "weekend updates" and the endless OJ references...LONG after he was told to stop. So hilarious. He was a national treasure. His Burt Reynolds on SNL Jeopardy is a great compliment to the hilarious Sean Connery. Back when SNL was funny. RIP Norm. RIP Robin Williams too. Miss them both.

Went to the TOOL concert at TBA last November. Buddy and I each grabbed 2 big 22oz or 24oz beers before going to our seats, didnt want to have to come back. I paid for em...$60. $15 a beer. Big beers...but still. $15 each at the home of the basketVols. Never again. Went to the UT/NCSU game this year. Grabbed a pint of Jack beforehand. Bought 1 big Pepsi in the stadium. Lesson learned.

Yeah, but you just rent beer. You have to return it at some point - probably more more than once in that quantity. There's always the Burt Reynolds collection system, too, but you'd need a big collection bottle.

I don't think Airwolf has that "triggering" effect as the other shows I listed. I tried to cover all the bases..... the Rebel flag, nazis, church going Southern white people, and Veterans with guns.


I would like to add a monthly marathon day of Blazing Saddles, Smokey and the Bandit, and old Clint Eastwood movies.


That actually sounds like an awesome channel. MSNBC ratings would go through the roof.

Somewhat funny story about the classic American epic we know as "Airplane!" .

I have seen the movie dozens of times growing up, as I bet many of you have. Know most of the bits in it verbatim, yet still laugh every time.

So...I sit down to watch it with my 13yo daughter for her 1st time. For the first time I can remember, didn't bother to look it up on IMDB and check the parents guide...we ALWAYS do before watching a movie with the kids. It tells you about any nudity, sexual innuendo, which 4 letter words and how many times etc. This determines whether or not a movie gets watched in our household. Not this time though...Airplane is rated PG...and i have seen it dozens of times and nearly know it by memory, right?

Apparently I had only ever seen the movie on network TV...and apparently PG ratings circa 1980 were WAY DIFFERENT than PG in the 2000s. So we start watching it....profanity...ouch, but OK...sexual references throughout including the blowjob in the pilots seat which is apparently cut way shorter on TV too...and BIG BARE TITS about halfway thru the movie, which I had obviously never seen before. LMAO. We laughed and laughed about it...but theres at least 5 mins of that movie not seen on cable TV that is actually in the movie if you stream it. Also, I couldn't believe that a dead-on full frontal shot of some big DD boobs was rated PG back in the 80s. It wasnt a quick glance, or "side boob" or a partial view etc...it was gratuitous BIG knockers bouncing up and down while the airplane is in turbulence. For like 3 seconds lmao. Theres other sexual references, people making out, profanity etc throughout. This was not the same movie that I have watched and laughed at as a kid with my parents and grandparents. It was hilarious. So...fair warning. You probably do NOT want to stream Airplane and watch it with children. Better to wait til next time the safer TV version comes on.

AirWolf!!! Yessir. Loved that when i was a kid. Nice.

The Incredible Hulk with Lyle Alzado was my jam too. Sad what the steroids did to him. He died in his early 40s IIRC. When your heart gets enlarged from the Juice, the results are catastrophic. I read an article about it when he died...think it was in Sports Illustrated. He was a solid player for the Raiders for a while too. Every little boy in the 80s knew the line " You won't like me when I'm angry." Good times

The PG-13 rating killed the movies

Plus people are just way to uptight now.

Can't make TV great again without doing away with all of cable news. Fox News is just as bad.

Ferigno was the Hulk and I'm pretty sure Lyle Alzado was the bear.

Lou > Lyle

I need to find a copy of blazing saddles before the libs have it banned. It comes on tv on occasion but it isn’t the same when they water it down.

Yep. I've got it on VHS, DVD, and blu-ray. Come and take it, libs!

I don't know what the future holds but I don't want to live in a world without Blazing Saddles.

Smokey and the bandit is classic too.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Smokey and the bandit is classic too.

absolutely. I have multiple types of media for it too and throw Caddy Shack in there to round out my top 3.



*I don't think either of them offend the left like Blazing Saddles does. Maybe, Caddy Shack....

 

[marcusluvsvols]

You talking about Lou Ferrigno as The Hulk?

Lmao. Yes. I got the 2 of them mixed up. Good catch. The OTHER huge italian looking guy that was roided out through the 1980s. Neither of them were like 5ft6 or 5ft7 either like Stallone. Actual huge dudes.

Remember what the WWF guys looked like back then? Ultimate Warrior etc? Those guys were ripped to shreds back in the heavy steroid era.

 

[marcusluvsvols]

Went to a few wrestling events as a kid because we got free tickets. Fwiw, the biggest guy I have ever seen in person that was still ripped was VFL Charles McRae. He and Antone Davis were both all SEC guards that played together in the 90s before going to the NFL. We were in Neyland before kickoff when the whole team is out there stretching out etc, and Charles took his pads and shirt off for whatever reason...he had a 6pack. Listed at 6ft7in and 295 lbs . No body fat. He was a monster. He ended up being a top 10 draft pick in the 1st round in 91 or 92. Wish we had him and Antone last week vs UGA...we would have run the ball right down their damn throats all game and made em put 8 men in the box. We outrushed them bigtime anyway, just couldnt do it in the 2nd half.

I did the same thing at my house when my sons were in middle school. "Hey boys. Let's watch Airplane! This is one of daddy's favorites". Oops. I couldn't get to the remote fast enough. The boys were giggling and I was red faced. My wife said "I can see why you like this one so much".



*I started using Common sense media after that incident but they limit how many movies you can look up. I've switched over to IMBD's parents guide and use it all the time. It's very informative and helpful for parents trying to do the right thing.

Must have
Tennessee over UTEP
Tennessee over Vanderbilt
Texas over A&M

Need 1
Florida over Ole Miss
Miss State over Ole Miss
Army over ND
USC over ND
Kentucky over Texas
Georgia Tech over Georgia
Oklahoma over Alabama
Auburn over Alabama

May be enough (50/50)
Ohio State 20+ over Indiana


Feel free to add any if I missed them, but I think this would put Tennessee into the playoffs safely.

^^^FWIW, this sums up our playoff scenarios well.

HOWEVER...if UGA vaults back up into the top 5 or 6 it helps us being 1 of our 2 losses. Every Arkansas win does also and they will be a bowl team.

My contention would be this:

Even if we win out, but NONE of the things in the 2nd group happen, UT should STILL get in the playoffs over Ole Miss for 2 reasons.

1. Our best win is arguably better than theirs...since Bama BEAT UGA...and

2. Ole Miss has 2 losses to unranked teams. UK and LSU. We only have losses to a playoff team in UGA on the road, and 1 unranked team on the road.

Also...should aTm beat Texas for their 2nd loss, a strong case can be made for us over texas as well because the ONLY ranked team Texas has played is UGA and they got BLOWN OUT at HOME. For whatever reason the polls love Texas now though. That all changes with another loss however. We still largely control our own destiny. Need to throttle UTEP and beat Vandy by a TD and we are in the playoffs as an 11 seed IMO.

I'm about to quit watching anything on Hulu. Seems like all the commercials you have to sit through are DEI oriented - like a liberal reeducation camp of some sort. It's like total immersion rather than just the run of the mill commercials that can't operate without families composed of every race and ethnicity. At some point, enough agenda pushing is enough.

We really need some trashing of non SEC teams with winning seasons and loser schedules - like IN getting blown away by OH St. Indiana is the poster child for teams in the top 10 without having played a real game throughout the season. In fact, when you look at it, none of the top four big10 teams has a solid resume. OR has one "credible" win - 1 point over OH St who has one "credible" win over PN St; otherwise PN St would be like IN, having played nobody of note at all. Any of those teams may be solid, but it's unproven and the season is nearing an end. The ACC and other dwarf conferences are as bad or worse than the big10.
