Official Gramps' Memorial Eternal OT Thread

the pop tarts bowl was the best... the ritual sacrifice of the winners choice of pop tart to the toaster was epic
no no. meaningless. No one cared.

We only want to watch the ones hand picked by a bunch of - God only knows who - people that want to ensure the maximum amount of money is taken in by the broadcasters and the conferences.
 
ya live in NC and don't like pimento cheese sammies? ya might wanna keep that to yer self or go into the witness protection program

True story:

As a kid I lived in Chattanooga. Went to Red Bank Elementary for kindergarten. Out of school for the summer, my sister and i were at our babysitters house all day because my mom worked full time for TVA. The lady had a pool in her backyard and kept 4 kids counting my sister and I. One day, bout 1130 or so she served lunch at her dinner table as usual. It was pimento cheese sammiches. I took a bite and gagged, nearly threw up and spit it out on my paper plate. The other kids somehow ate theirs, while i just sat there. I was nauseous. She told me i had to sit there until i ate it, no getting up from the table. The other kids ate fast because she made us wait 3omins to get in the pool after eating and they knew it. I sat there while they played and waited. I sat there alone inside while they all swam including my older sister. I sat there until my mom picked us up about 530 or so. About 6 hours. That was the last time we went to that babysitter. My mom took us to the car pissed, then went back to her front porch to talk to her. We couldn't hear what she was saying, but my sister said mom was really mad...i was in the back seat because i was little. My mom fired her for making a 6yo kid sit at the supper table for 6 hours by himself lmao. Thats the last time I ate pimento cheese. We have a 41 year vendetta 😄 the smell of that crap makes me nauseous. I had to look it up to learn that pimentos are the pits from the center of olives. I don't eat olives either...

I find it hilarious that all 4 conference champions that got 1st round byes in the playoffs...lost their 1st playoff game.

O-4. Conference Champs.

So of course next year the champs won't get a 1st round bye...it will be the teams ranked 1-4 in the playoff rankings. Now that the VOLS got screwed. Under the correct rules for 12 teams that will be used next season and thereafter...we would have played ASU in Neyland, then Boise State on a neutral site to make the final 4. I think we win both of those games. We just dont have the horses to beat OSU this year...neither does anyone else they could have hung 56 on Oregon easily if they didnt run the ball and punt for the entire 2nd half. Would have been great exposure and experience for our team to have a home playoff game, likely another win after, and finish the season with at least 12 wins. Plus all the extra practice time from advancing etc. Sucks that they had this ridiculous format this season. Very happy UGA lost their 1st game though...plus Bama AND SC lost their stinking bowlgames!!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

It’s difficult to place much gravitas to the complaints of a man that doesn’t like pimiento cheese sandwiches.
 
2025 sux so far... my high school coach (he graduated from Chattanooga at age 21 and I was a 14 yo frosh when he started teaching/coaching ... so really like an older wise brother who made us run until we puked) ... his only sibling passed away. He has lost his mom, dad, bride of about 50 years, oldest son (last June) all in the past 6 or 7 years and he has Parkinsons.

Sorry to hear this bro. The worst part of getting older is losing the ones that we care about. More than half the people that actually love me died in the last 5 years, back to back to back to back. These guys around here in the PF were always kind and supportive through it all. I am sorry you are having a hard time bud, wish the best for you and your family. You can always discuss it here...and people actually do care. Good group of guys that hang around these parts. Lucky to have yall as my VOL brethren. Keep your head up SR.

Lmao. Cal said "we got beat by 25...it could have been 50 the way we got manhandled!" 😄

As we have discussed since that tournament to start the season...this team is different. Can rebound, block shots frequently and score. All Barnes teams play great defense. This one is different though. The only real weakness is no depth. We need to stay very healthy...if we do, anything is possible with this team. Even a Title.
