I would like an Omega Seamaster in the latest model please except they need to reduce the size a few mm’s.

That sounds like the mentality of a customer, not a fan.

If you write thousands of dollars worth of checks for season tickets, donations, etc. Then you have an emotional and large monetary commitment to a program. You can be upset when a team lacks care and plays bad. I did not say boo individual players. But you have every right to be mad. It doesn’t change your fandom. Your mad because you care and your pouring what you can to make that program better.

Looked more like a personal observation to me. He’s not beholden to either political party or ideology. I do think toeing woke lines in sports annoys the bejesus out of him and it’s omnipresent these days.

The only thing dumber than him taking the time to tweet about Taylor Swift, is the retort from the other side that the “30 years” reference implies that this would have been planned specifically for her when she was 3 years old.

Just dumb all around.

LSU is going to kill Mizzou this weekend.

Can’t wait so they can stop acting like they may be good when they haven’t played anyone yet.

It wasn't the deep pockets making the most noise.

Being a public figure begets scrutiny, justified or not. Kamal is not going to fix all the idiots in the world by tweeting. Do you know how dumb the average person is? Half are dumber than that. If you put 100,000 human beings mixed from any race, class, religion, ethnic group in a bowl there are going to be plenty of bad apples. Its just math. Hope Kamal balls out the rest of the year and good luck in future endeavors.

No but maybe he should focus on fixing one.
He may not be an idiot but he acts like one sometimes. That’s the cause of a lot of the booing.

 

[85SugarVol]

. . . and that's where "dont be an idiot" should enter a lot of people's minds. . . problem is, it doesn't, because. . . they  are idiots.

Sure. We got idiots. Every passionate fanbase does. Wish we had fewer.

Vandy doesn’t have many idiot fans. Their fanbase is mostly apathetic.

You can argue we should only have the positive. But we don’t. No one does. The more passionate the fanbase, the more wild the swings.

Can't do much about the idiot margin, except hope they have enough sense to realize they are acting like a true idiot and stop acting that way. . . catch 22. . .they don't know they are idiots, because they are idiots, so they'll just try to find ways to justify their idiocy. At least this makes them easy to identify,

Okay, serious question:
If kickoff for the Aggies game is 3:30, what’s the best time to get there for the Vol Walk?
Do opposing teams fans ever show up for the Vol Walk?


I will had 4 Aggies with me…

Vol Walk starts 2 hours and 15 minutes before kickoff. So, if it’s a 3:30 kickoff then it’ll start around 1:15. The earlier the better to get a good spot. I definitely would take the Aggies. Don’t think they will be treated badly.

 

[Orange.]

Unpopular take incoming:

I actually liked us slowing it down against SC and killing clock.

Sorry not sorry

Me too. We did that at LSU last year, too, iirc.

I love Patek. Exceptional quality and craftsmanship.

But that Patek you posted is crusted in diamond, has sapphire baton markers. Just not for me. Too much bling.

Gimme this Grand Complication

I literally expect the Vols to win every single game at kickoff. I get that is not reasonable. It’s also why I’m a fan and I don’t bet on the good guys.

I guess Rattler said the game was like UT's Super Bowl?

Facts:
- we are bitter about losing our potential first heisman player to season ending injury during the game last year
- we are bitter about missing the playoffs likely due to having lost this game last year
- this game last year was more of a reflection on UT not being ready for the playoffs than it was about USCjr making a move towards relevance. Clemson would say the same of their game. Results this year back that up.
- we were looking forward to getting revenge, though it still doesn’t make up for the loss
- we wore black jerseys, but it was not a blackout. Really no other game that makes sense for black jerseys (tamu is day time game and I don’t see us ever wearing black for a day time game, uga will see us wear our classics - no need to create artificial interest for that game, vandy and UConn will have limited visitors, just leaves gamecocks)
- this was an important game to “not lose”. Florida was awfully bad, but people will rationalize it due to the streak. There would have been no rationalizing a loss to this gamecock team at home
- this was not our Super Bowl, not even close. As a team that has won a national championship before, we won’t be in a “Super Bowl” until we reach the CFP finals
- florida, uk, bama, uga, vandy all more important games than gamecocks. Truth hurts. Don’t know where the Super Bowl comment came from, but I’d bet it was a part of either the pre or post game locker room speech from beamer. Sour lemons comment, no matter how much or how little the opposing team cared, says more about rattler than it does about us or the game at all.

How does that work out for you when you get annihilated 63-38 and ruins the first shot at a title we've had in 25 years?

You do you...I love being surprised for something good happening vs being absolutely gutted because you didn't see the knife coming.

Champion hopefuls don’t expect to lose. Champions don’t lose.

If I cared more about how I felt one week out of the year, I wouldn’t be the rabid Tennessee fan that I am. For better or worse, that’s the way it is, and it was a precedent and mindset that was set in my formative years watching Tennessee win the 98 title having known nothing else due to my age. Dooley and Butch Jones helped me care a little less, but not much. I don’t regret the cards I was dealt. Suffering through those down years from middle school age until early independent adulthood has made me a “slightly” more rational fan and will make it all the more sweeter when we return to the prominence of the championship days of old. I don’t think it’s too far away at this point. The pieces are 90% there.

Just rewatched some of the South Carolina game, look at the first touchdown they score and how bad Pearce gets held lol. I mean it was egregious.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Well, I remember George Rogers winning the Heisman and it wasn't in the 60s, because I wasn't born until '71. Pretty sure, Rogers won that Heisman in 1980, but I smell what you are cooking

Whatever. I was born in 92. 1980 might as well be 1920 as far as I’m concerned.

Appreciate the fact check nonetheless.

Kamal Hadden appreciation post. You'd never know it given the way he's talked about here but...

10 catches allowed on 26 targets / 38% completion percentage / 2.46 YPA / 2 INT (1 pick-six) / 0 TD / 5 PBU / 14.6 NFL QBR. Only 2 PI calls and both were against Austin Peay. Pretend those are 15 yard catches and you've got 12/26 for 3.6 YPA.

That's dominant, and if it's not apparent just how dominant, how would y'all feel if Milton had a game where he went 10/26 for 64 yards, 0 TDs, and 2 INTs with a pick six and a 14.6 QBR. How many would say, "Well Milton got a couple PI calls so it's still a good game" lol.

Among CBs with 20+ targets in the country:
1st in NFL QB Rating allowed
2nd in YPA
3rd in coverage rating (PFF)
8th in completion%

He's #1 in the SEC in every one of those categories.

I said Kamal Hadden was Elite earlier in the week and people thought I was crazy. He has had some stupid plays but overall he is an Elite DB.

Yeah, but he trash talked USC East that one time…
