Brothers and sisters I made it out with my MC and others to feed folks in need today along the Nolichucky in Jonesborough. I couldn’t believe the destruction and horrific stories I heard😪

Food Lion in JC gave all our food at cost (good on them) and we had everything from smoked meats to collards straight from smoker to plate or packed to go. The people giving right now of themselves is truly a blessing in our local communities. The thankful tears and hugs from those who were in need were genuine and heartfelt. I’m so proud to be from East Tennessee ❤️ we good people!! Gods’s country has a few scars, but I know the soul of me, mine, ,and my neighbors and we are strong and country folk will survive!

I’m so happy my Volnation family mostly came out ok. Y’all important in my life.

Now how ‘bout an orange britches 50 Burger to share on prime time Saturday night 🍊🔥🏈

A nice 50 burger would help take a lot of folks' minds off it, if only for a couple hours.

Not me..I hit my early bet to win for the day 🤙🏻
But I’m doubling down on my $24 with Teaxas St. and Sam Houston. I prayed for a day I could a grand down on a -500. I’m in til the end!!

If I win I’ll likely donate it anyway so whatever on that. I’m blessed and not judging in any way. If you in need then take what you need 👊🏻

We bought 5 acres (off Raccoon Valley) in 2019 for our "dream house". It's got 1 good build site now. It will take a whole lot of dirt moving and excavating to put 3 houses (we've got 2 kids) on it but I'm afraid that's what we're heading for. It sucks what's happened around our area since Covid and JB hit. The children of families that have lived here all their lives have been screwed over. That's why seeing videos about "Knoxville being a perfect place to live" burn me up. It was perfect.....5 years ago.

We've got about 50 here but my kids need to get their own property. 😂

Seriously, my concern is that I let them build and then in a few years there job(s) take them somewhere else and I've got new neighbors that I don't know.

Not really. Your home has gone up in value yes. Your property taxes have as well without wages rising in proportion. If you sell your home you will get a nice payday that will disappear when you try to buy another home that has also doubled in value and get into a bidding war with people willing to pay well over that doubled asking price at a higher interest rate. Most locals' purchasing power can't match what many of those coming from higher priced markets have, at least for most middle class families.

We aren’t in a bidding war market anymore for the most part. There are homes that generate multiple offers but there’s a lot of opportunity in the market for buyers to get allowances. Knoxville has been undervalued for quite some time but then the secret of how bad ass of Knoxville is got out. The spike was excessive though!

Not in need per say, but I am in need for another vacation so I like to use the extra betting funds for that

Greedy I suppose

I thought about Sam Houston too, but I kind of like the spirit of taking the winnings from one and rolling it over to the next, which I can't do with 2 games going on at the same time.

I have a nice home on 1.3 acres. I gave 32,000 for the lot in 2001. We built a 3300 square. foot home for 210,000 in 2002. Houses around us now are selling for 800,000 to 1.1 million. We live just outside of Lebanon and about 30 miles from downtown Nashville. Even half acre lots are now selling for 75-80000 around this area and a acre is bringing 6 figures!

Something strange is going on. . .

The 1st half UT total was 19.5, then moved to 20.5. It has now dropped to almost even $ at 16.5pts.

a 4pt move in 1 half in 24hrs is massive movement. What's up with that?

Probably Vegas learned who the refs will be and knows it’s the group who is assigned to screw over the Vols.
