how many warm beers have you had today while watching NFL games? how many warm ones when your out eating wings with your buds? how many warm ones at anytime in life?

Not frosty doesn't mean warm. The vast majority of the beer I drink during the winter is best in the 45-55 degree range.

not to let the facts get in the way.. but my original analogy was that the invention of the refrigerator meant that more people went from drinking warm beer to drinking cold beer, which is much better.

because hat and his minions could not refute the point of my post, they tried to pretend that they don't like a1, worcestershire, or cold beer...which back in the late '40s may have gotten you a date with HUAC.

Not really. Check the number of regular season men's games on national television to the number Summit's teams had in that period. The only "national relevance" women's basketball has is among the subset of the sports media that apparently feels duty bound to push the sport. The women's final was opposite Wrestlemania a few years ago. More people paid 50 bucks to watch scripted sports entertainment than watched the signature event of the women's game. That should tell everyone how "relevant" women's basketball is nationally.

True, very true.

Yeah, don't let the fact the country that perfected beer laughs at anyone who feels the need for their beer to be chilled and no chef worth his salt would allow A1 within the doors of his restaurant get in the way. We should all bow down to your dumbed down standards.

moral of the story:

don't make any decisions for yourself.

If the Reich says that beer cannot be enjoyed cold, then thou shall not have cold beer.

If the chef says you cannot eat steak with A1, thou shall not have a1.

brilliant.

Definitely crappy steak... Maybe a ten ounce filet, nice crusty medium rare from an 1100 degree broiler. Eat your beef like a TRUE VOL, blood running down your chin!

I could go for worcestershire and butter mixed, brushed on the meat with the spice blend of your choice sprinkled on while on the grill. Still medium rare. GO VOLS!!!

No, the lesson is to take the advice of people who know what the Hell they are talking about, try it their way, and you'll usually find out they are right.

I drink my beer air temp and my steak medium rare with nothing but salt and pepper. If you need anything more you need to get out of Applebee's.

Who doesn't like steak from Shoney's? Who doesn't like Salmon from Captain D's? Who doesn't like the beer selection at Shell?

That's fine, I put my beer in the fridge to bring it to temperature. However, if you are drinking a Sammy Smith's Oatmeal Stout or Chimay Red or Blue at anything below 45 F then you are completely missing the point of good beer.

Also, a good piece of meat usually needs nothing more than salt and pepper or it isn't a good piece of meat. There are exceptions, but they are things like Steak Au Poivre, not Sirloin and steak sauce.

However, if you want to tell me I don't know beer, I would be more than happy to prove you flat wrong. Jump over into the beer thread and spout that nonsense.

twist it anyway you want.

Your average vol fan wants his bud light cold, not a warm guinness. Your average vol fan isn't as fortunate as us and can't get afford that filet that melts in your mouth, so he's happy with his sirloin and A1.

I could have have made any analogy and the hat-inites would still avoid the substance of the argument:

no era in tennessee hoops history is comparable to what CBP has done in his short time here, and in no other era has the team been as relevant on the national stage for this many seasons in a row....and that is upsetting to those who had the misfortune to sit through so many tough seasons when the fair weather fans were keeping warm at home....and especially upsetting when said long time fan has been so outspoken and so wrong about CBP.

Yeah, I really was out in left field on the guy's character and the eventual efficacy of "controlled chaos."

That's great for your average Vol fan. That doesn't change the fact that there are better beers than Bud Light and better cuts of meat than a bottom of the barrel sirloin.

I am nowhere near wealthy, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the finer things.

Looks like a writer who slept through the first half of Don DeVoe's tenure and operates under the fallacy that women's basketball has ever been more popular than men's hoops in Knoxville.

You must have missed the 90's and early 2000's when the women outdrew the men 6 years in a row.

You mean when women's tickets were a third the price of men's and you could get 5 with a cup of coffee at Pilot? Stick the same price on the two and see how many women's tickets you sell.

And I can't wait to get up later today and read the negative reaction to this article from the "I hate Pearl coalition."
