I'll be in Neyland Stadium this time next week. Hope to see you all there.

If you want to do your part to recruit, show up to the Spring game and impress recruits with a huge turnout. They notice.

Show up early. Tell your friends. Bring a crowd. Admission is free.

Unfortunately I have to work. But you can take my Ken Griffey Jr lifesize cardboard cutout whose uniform I painted orange as a kid. I will tape a voice recorder with me screaming to it and it can serve as my proxy.

Was planning on it for a few months, it seems I forgot to calculate my wife would be 38 weeks pregnant at the time though!

Eh, I'll go anyways, it's only a 2 hour drive. I can get back in time. Everyone gets great cell phone signal there right...:)

Is anyone broadcasting/streaming the game? I just checked my Watch Espn app and they are showing it until April 20.

This comes up a lot. In a way, I support this, despite being opposed to it. Oxymoron!!! True dat.

I like cold ones when I'm also eating a sit down at a table meal. No walking around or sitting around and swigging for me. That's just me. I've had hankerings for a chili bowl they serve at Neyland and a cold one to complement it.

But on the other end, having seen the worst of human behavior when alcohol has been consumed, I'm opposed to it being served at games. Too many fans are bad enough just being fans, pour alcohol into them and they make being obnoxious a virtue compared to their conduct after downing a combustible fuel.

My sole concern is that sooner or later such people will cause the harm of a child at a game. I just love seeing parents bring their kids to Neyland, Volunteerizing the little ones early. You Know, 'train up a child in the way s/he should go, and when s/he is older will not depart from it'. The makings of true VFL, I say. In any case, I've already seen what such people are capable of. In one incident, I saw a guy catch a kid (not at Neyland) from falling off a low railed terrace when some drunk jackal pushed the boy for accidentally stepping on his foot. And at Neyland, one guy seated behind me and Shirley intentionally laid down an open can of soda so it would spill down and wet our seats. Only a more typically higher class fan bringing to our attention spared us. The sad thing was this fat azzed jerk's, equally fat azzed son was doing the same thing. Way to raise a kid, jerk! We didn't have to do anything except move to an empty seat because folks who had seen this began having words with them. It continued until some lady brought out her cell phone at which point the fat man and fat kid got up and left. Point? Keep alcohol away so the tykes and pre-teens can have a FINE day with their parents while being Vol-ized. Because sooner or later, something will happen that puts a kid in genuine danger. The worse person on Earth is someone drunk or sober who would harm a kid.

Having been to many NFL games. I'm not completely opposed to it. But it would take such strategic planning and a lot of crowd security. Not that there isn't now. But the NFL drills the "Good Fan" message into you when you go to a game. And they have security in waiting for such incidents. Unruly fans are handled immediately. Ravens stadium has a jail and a judge (or equal) at the stadium. It would take much much planning to bring this to the college game. And I think the there would be more underage drinking at a college game than there is at a pro game. I'm sure that is the a major concern that keeps it illegal.

Just stick a big barge in the lake and let that be the jail cell.

Volcatraz!
