You should have cared decades ago when it stopped existing. Billions of dollars pouring into a sport eliminates any claim of amateurism. One sided amateurism isn't amateurism.

Exactly. I just can't understand how fans don't grasp the reality of the situation. You can't just force amateurism into a market that generates billions of dollars because you prefer it that way. Just because it was unfairly set up that way for decades does not mean it should stay that way. Where does the billions of dollars go if not to the individuals that generate the revenue? Are we arguing for socialism in the sports marketplace for some reason? Should athletes that fans are willing to spend money to watch choose to do it for free for some logical reason? That's an honest question. Why? I pay when I go to the doctor. Should that money go to the hospital but the doctor perform the service without being paid? Oh because they are currently in school during this time. Then when I pay that college student who delivered by pizza that money should all go to Domino's Pizza and the delivery driver should perform his service for free. It's just not logical no matter how much we enjoyed the system for the last 100 years.

Out of the blue (no pun intended) my daughter asked if we could go to a Tennessee game at Neyland! She goes to TCU.

TCU has a bye weekend on 11/2.

So she and I are going to be there for the Kentucky game! I’m ecstatic. We’ve already got plane tickets, hotel rooms, rental car and football tickets! Pricey but worth it!

I know you’re busy this week with the BIG game this week, but can I ask you to give a tutorial to other fanbases on how to go on a rival fanbase board on how to act. Gators need it. I won’t like any of your posts, that’s not how we do things.

Just cause we hate each other doesn’t mean we have to act like it.

No, I watched the presser. Heup was asked and answered about Dayne Davis and Larry Johnson. Then about the status of Heard and Campbell. Then a second question about Johnson. There was no mention of Perry and Warren. @johnfnkelly is right that it was VQ. Someone else also verified VQ.

I don't know if someone asked about Perry and Warren by name or whether AP initiated the remark on his own, being more thorough and including the 3s.

I believe it was his Wednesday presser then.

How many people are able to pay 8K for season tickets? Who is going to be going to those games? At that rate, I'll mostly be sitting on my couch rooting on my beloved vols.

Dude. He might have several tix with a donation or club level. The point is there is a wait list from the cheapest to the most expensive.

Likely came up I26 to I81. This I40 shut down and I26 is now underwater in NC and TN in multiple spots. Basically can't get into Western NC right now.

We were just in Bryson City, NC over the weekend to ride the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad with my FIL. Craziness.
