When I got off work my mother texted me that I should wait before going into my post time job, that there was a possible tornado tracking toward Columbia.

My wife then informed me that our daughter was called into work, right into the path. And she couldn't leave work. Long story short I jumped into my truck and went to her, my 17 year old daughter.

I got there about 5 minutes before the worst of the storm hit. I saw the funnel cloud rotating but it wasn't on the ground, this thing was huge. We went into their cooler out back and rode it out. When we thought it safe we got out and watched it move toward the Northeast.

That's as close as I've ever been...... And ever want
to be.

There are a lot of people, contractors, excavation companies and local equipment rental places that have volunteered their services tonight. There was literally an army of people with chainsaws that showed up to help according to my State Trooper neighbor.

Scary stuff, glad everyone is ok though

The only time KH was funny was his Cameo in 40 year old Virgin.

dang great point, forgot about that one

 

[Jackcrevol]

Yes, it's so popular...that it hardly even gets TV airings Softball gets more airtime than baseball.

I'm talking in comparison to anything meaningful, it's not even not on the national radar at all. Maybe South Carolina is the outlier.

But at least some folks talk about it now because of what TV has brought to the scene. We're marketable in an unmarketable sport stuck between MLB and minor leagues everywhere.

i'd rather watch minors and college.... all day long.

Happy Thursday

May 9, 2024: For those who have been traveling on a rough road, which has seemed insurmountable, it will begin to smooth out. But, you must let go of issues that have kept you in turmoil. You can do this by putting them in My capable hands, says the Lord. You must stop fretting about things that have no eternal value, and put your trust in Me for guidance and protection. Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Getting a lot of tales woven with NIL thread this offseason

Glad your family is safe. Prayers for everyone impacted.

I was hoping we might hear from you today.

Pray for me, that I might keep a right spirit towards the other grandparents and not think/say "racca" towards them.

Prayers for peace

I'm drunk running on fumes in Ireland

Good lawd. Me and the wife started drinking with some Germans so I had to show them what us Americans were all about....even though I'm on zero hours asleep

Giving my all for Tennessee.

Have fun, sounds like you are

 

[Glitch]

Oh Lawd Boise State is done.

 

[Glitch]

Hogwash

 

[DD4ME]

Yes

Live look at Tennesssee baseball as described by a game day thread.

More fishing: When my son was about 9 or 10 years old I took him bluegill fishing with worms at the pond where Hungry Fisherman used to be. He hooked a baby warmouth about 3 inches long and yanked the line to set the hook. He was fishing about 3 feet off the bank. It jerked the small fish about 6 to 8 feet into the air and it came off the hook and landed again about 3 feet off the bank but 10 feet down from where it began this journey. He quickly dropped his worm where it landed and caught that fish in a couple of seconds. I have never seen such voracious and hard hitting fish like warmouth. I love that fish.

Try fishing for Northern Pike.
Voracious and savage in their attacks.
Great fight once they are hooked too.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Yes

Love seeing this kind of stuff all the time, but I'm ready for one of these sports to go all the way.

Now we know what @nicksjuzunk is doing now…

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Gun to your head…. List me 2 uncommitted guys who you think will be in this class.

Put me down for David Sanders and Travis Smith

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

TV is a made man now. He has the rare chance to go down as legendary and he knows that. That really means something to an Italian, the only thing more important is family.

VolNation is his family.

Wisconsin is the same way. When I was a kid, as long as you had parental consent, you could drink at a bar. A lot of German immigrants and those not to far removed from coming over. Also the largest Oktoberfest celebration in the U.S. is in La Crosse, WI.

Spent some time at Ft. McCoy before deployment. Probably would have enjoyed it more under different circumstances but it seemed like a nice place overall.

 

[mrMet]

35 days on the dot in the house and an insurance claim already. Is that a record?

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

He still has college eligibility.

There used to be a rule that you had x number of years to complete your eligibility.
I think that there was also an age limit in
D-1 level sports.

I could be wrong on both counts.
I may be right too.

How does Ohio State continue to get the top WR in every class it seems? They got the top in 2026.

Well… they’ve had like 6 draft picks in the first round in the last 3 years lol

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Totally agree……I also think he appreciates UT giving him his first shot AND DW providing all the support he wants. I can see him being here for a very long time.

The culture at this University is unreal right now…..everyone is paddling in the same direction and they are going downstream!!

Life is good if you are “clad in BIG ORANGE “!

Ha, Tennessee is paddling wherever they want and the water is flowing in support.
