That would be a most unwelcome outcome. Add Kiffin to the curse? Even those very rare wins vs UF would disappear....at least during my lifetime.

I’d hate it. But Tennessee is about to drop Florida from its regular schedule. With that, I think the “curse” goes too. Teams aren’t in your head if you don’t play them every year. Florida would obviously improve, but with the new schedule format, we’re just trying to beat a good team, not one that’s in our heads. Would also help that we likely won’t be playing them on the same spot in the schedule every year (September). Let ‘em come to Knoxville in November.

As a Kiffy hater I hope all the transfers create NIL envy for the rest of the team and it blows up in his face. Be impossible to require character from his team with a straight face.

Lane Kiffin will be the next Alabama coach, and is doing everything he can to put himself in that position.

And he will probably be wildly successful there.

They may have been a little on the chewy side but the flavor was to die for!

We are at Disney World, and we were getting on Rise of the Resistance. One of the lady’s that worked there was named Even…I thought… that’s an odd name.

Related, that is hands down the coolest ride I've ever been on. It is a legit experience. Fast passed it the first time and almost hopped right back in the 2-hour line to do it again.

December 26, 1977
I was 7 years old.......and will never forget how fun this game was to watch.

1977 NFC playoff game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Los Angeles Rams.

When the Vikings traveled to Los Angeles Coliseum to take on the Rams, no one gave them much of a chance. Besides getting up there in age, they had been destroyed by the Rams to the tune of 35-3 earlier in the year, and that was with star quarterback Fran Tarkenton. Now that Tarkenton was out with an injury, Bob Lee, a former 17th round draft pick who spent part of his career as a punter, would fill in for the Vikings great.

Minnesota didn't have a prayer... or at least that's what everyone thought. When both teams arrived at the coliseum, a miracle had happened. Rainfall from the night before had turned the field into a swamp, and now whatever advantage the Rams had playing at home was thrown out the window.

"We knew it was tough to hold onto the ball, so we just tried to hold on, get what we could and go down and score. It was no day for heroics," said Vikings running back Chuck Foreman, who provided his team with most of their offense. Lee completed only five passes in the entire game, including none in the second half. But the muddy conditions had thrown off the Rams enough that they didn't score until the final minute of the game. Minnesota won 14-7, shocking everyone at nine-and-a-half point underdogs.

The game is also notable for being the final contest in which Joe Namath was on the active roster.
