I'm not caught up on posts but my friend is a UPS driver. I asked her. She just needs an address and tracking number.

Oh lawd, what'd you do now??

I'll figure it out when I sober up.

I believe you were at 95% yesterday.

Doc question. Probably inappropriate and rude, so, apologies.

I've never gotten a flu shot. Ever. Should I consider it this year because of the CDC report that this will be the worst year ever for influenza?

I didn't get the flu the last 2 years, if that helps with the answer.

They say that every year.

Edit: Not a doc

Sorry for your loss. I just lost my dad at age 97 - UT graduate from both Knoxville and Memphis. I’m not sure if I’ll ever get over it. Regardless of the statistical evidence, I’ll never take another flu shot again. Every time I have taken one, I’ve had flu-like symptoms beginning 12-24 hours afterward and sometimes continuing for two weeks. Since I abandoned them several years ago, I haven’t had the least scratchy throat. Evidence based medicine is a good way to practice for the most part; however, when population-derived evidence flies in the face of logic and reason, then we’re doing cookbook medicine and throwing our education and intellect out the window. Data from population based studies cannot always be applied to the individual. It’s a free society - do what you think is best for you. If you’re pretty healthy and choose to refuse a flu shot, you’ll get no argument from me.

While we’re at it, Gruden to the Hill.

I haven’t had one since. 2 y ars ago when work offered, I talked myself into getting it. But when I sat down, the warning was as on the table in plain sight. I walked away. Haven’t had the flu for many many years.

Which option would be your best guess?

I keep going back to something from this morning that didn’t seem to draw much discussion...

In the Seattle interview, everyone seemed to be focused on the unprompted Rocky Top reference... Which was a big deal in itself... But I’m still hung up on him specifically requesting that he not be questioned about the Tennessee job... That was just barely mentioned and seemed to get overshadowed by the RockyTop talk.

IMO, that is more telling than what he said at the end. It’s well known that he is a TN fan, so that shoutout could just be written off to him being fan. But the fact that he requested not to be asked about the job confirms 2 key pieces of information that we had no official proof of before.

- 1) It confirms that he is aware of all the speculation, and has a reason not to talk about it. Yesterday when he was asked, he made the “never say never” comment, which would have been the perfect opportunity to shut it down. Then the very next day, he tells them not to ask about it. Why was he fine with talking about it one day and not the next? Because he gave all the details he was willing to give the day before. He didn’t want them to dig any deeper.

- 2) The notion that we haven’t even reached out to him or that he isn’t being considered is officially debunked. It is now a FACT that he is being considered and has had at least 1 conversation with the UTAD or someone working on their behalf.

This may not seem like a big deal compared to all the inside info we’re getting... But to me it was huge... because it was the first real, concrete confirmation of something... Not a huge something, but something nonetheless.

Maybe after 5011 years he's tired of the dann question

Fulmer says he has 0 to do with the search

He is right though .. search was done when he came in to provide help

 

[sugarvol]

Okay, great! I'm on standby for your email.

As someone who works in the freight industry, I would never, ever, use UPS. Their logistics and “war room” as they call it, is unorganized chaos.

I’ve worked with Fedex and UPS and I would choose fedex every day bc they are organized and go above and beyond what they have to.

Just my experience but I completely disagree with you. FedEx Sux as far as tracking goes. I always use UPS.

 

[Sstterry]

I should be shot.

I thought you had been...remember Harambe?

 

[VolsCigarMan]

Dude, I asked you on the Twittersphere about what my first go at scotch should be. What would be best for tasting for a first timer?

Scotch is over-rated. Get you a nice bottle of Dominican Rum like Barcelo or the one from Nicaragua called Flor De Cana and torch a good Dominican cigar and your set!

 

[jefferson]

He was fun to talk to....

Was that the guy who suggested we implement relegation and promotion in the SEC like they do in English soccer? And was promptly tarred and feathered for it?

 

[esarmstrong]

You still got the best damn avi on vn.

A King Crimson fan, I see, or maybe just a fan of the album "Red". Either way:good!:

 

[allvolbaker12]

Ah okay. 88 here.

My mother and father graduated around the same time. My dad was apart of the 87 team for a lil bit but had to quit for a job

 

[andywilson001]

Which option would be your best guess?

I really hope it’s Sexton... but I feel like it’s probably Hyams.

 

[Coastypop]

Have I missed MITs surprise?

Yeah, sorry ... everybody got a bottle of scotch except me, I got Metamucil
