On a serious note, people in the Knoxville area will most likely have heard about this. A 29 YO Knoxville deputy was shot and killed on a domestic violence call. He's a former Powell High school graduate, was in school when my daughter graduated. He leaves behind two small children and a wife. He was on his last shift as a patrol officer and was going to be a K9 officer.

Please keep his family in your thoughts and say a little prayer for them. I'm sure they are struggling mightily.

The scum that killed him did take the asphalt temperature challenge thankfully.

Terribly sad situation all around. His best friend (Let's call the friend "X" for now) is close friends with the guy I fished with this past weekend and close friends with one of my groomsmen. I also did the taxidermy work on X's first duck. X is also a deputy and showed up a minute or two after the first shots were fired and I think he ended up in the firefight.

The guy who killed the officer (and was killed at the scene) was schizophrenic and bipolar and started having an episode that night. He freaked out and locked himself in a bedroom with the kids. Wife called the police for help. When he heard the officers' radio coming up the stairs he started shooting through the walls and struck him. It was unexpected. Of course then there was a firefight with children in the bedroom, who undoubtably had to watch their dad get killed too. [This is my understanding of the events secondhand from the officer I know who lost his best friend]

It really is sobering and tragic.

(On another note- @InVOLuntary your daughter might know the guy I fished with Saturday who has the YouTube channel)

I watched the video you were in. Y'all wore them out. Did he go to Powell?

I heard a different account. Who knows what really happened?

what's the odds we get gameday or sec nation for the texas a&m game

Gameday… Very low. Oregon vs Washington is 2:30 ABC game. I’d think that one gets it. If not that game USC/Notre Dame or Miami/UNC get it.

SEC Nation… Probably but they don’t always go the best game so you never know.

I believe I saw where only one of those is from a blitz. The OL is just getting home.

Can't be right. Beasley definitely has at least 1 and I'm pretty sure he has 2. Wesley Walker has 1 as well unless my memory is wrong and it was just a TFL that ended a drive. Pretty sure that one other DB has a sack (no TWSS joke please, @Glitch ).

I’ve been to Gainesville. Florida isn’t louder than us. The rest I’ve never been to, but I’d only consider LSU and A&M seriously. Maybe Penn State.

Neutral parties have claimed in the past that Neyland is the loudest they've ever heard.

Didn't Cole Cubelic say this recently?

Quick movement. Now at 6.5 to 6.0

I was thinking 6-8 would be about right. Maybe it moves up, but a small discount atm?

The true x-factor is do they get waxed or wrecked vs Bama or build momentum? Not sure I'd touch it rn. Curious to see their backup vs a defense as good as ours.

True, this weekend will tell, smart money is late money.
