Get this all over twitter.

Btw, I know some people have said neyland was loud for this Florida game, but I did not think so. I was there, and dang near everyone was quiet from early on. Only got moderately loud on 3rd down, hardly any on 1st or 2nd. Maybe it was just because I was in the upper bowl? I’m hoping we’re louder for this game. I think we’ll need to impact the game at least on 1st and 3rd downs in order to have a good shot at slowing them down enough to keep up if the oline doesn’t miraculously start playing a whole lot better this week than they have the past 3 games.

4th quarter sounded decent, but other than that I was pretty disappointed. I mentioned it in the game thread at halftime.

Lower bowl was rocking on every down Florida had the ball. Granted, I don’t go to many games, but it was the loudest one I’ve ever been to.

We definitely need to pick it up this weekend. The crowd around me only had a few getting really loud. There wasn't any that seemed to have too much to drink. Glad I didn't bring in the bourbon because I would have been out by halftime. Offense will need to step it up to get the crowds excited.

October 15, 1917

Execution of Mata Hari

Mata Hari was the stage name Dutch-born Margaretha Zelle took when she became one of Paris' most popular exotic dancers on the eve of World War I. Although details of her past are sketchy, it is believed that she was born in the Netherlands in 1876 and married a Dutch Army officer 21 years her senior when she was 18. She quickly bore him two children and followed him when he was assigned to Java in 1897. The marriage proved rocky. The couple returned to the Netherlands in 1902 with their daughter (their other child, a son, had died mysteriously in Java). Margaretha's husband obtained a divorce and retained custody of his daughter.

Margaretha then made her way to Paris where she reinvented herself as an Indian temple dancer thoroughly trained in the erotic dances of the East. She took on the name Mata Hari and was soon luring audiences in the thousands as she performed in Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Madrid and other European capitals. She also attracted a number of highly-placed, aristocratic lovers willing to reward her handsomely for the pleasure of her company.

With the outbreak of World War I, Mata Hari's cross-border liaisons with German political and military figures came to the attention of the French secret police and she was placed under surveillance. Brought in for questioning, the French reportedly induced her to travel to neutral Spain in order to develop relationships with the German naval and army attaches in Madrid and report any intelligence back to Paris. In the murky world of the spy, however, the French suspected her of being a double agent. In February 1917 Mata Hari returned to Paris and immediately arrested; charged with being a German spy. Her trial in July revealed some damning evidence that the dancer was unable to adequately explain. She was convicted and sentenced to death.

In the early-morning hours of October 15, Mata Hari was awakened and taken by car from her Paris prison cell to an army barracks on the city's outskirts where she was to meet her fate.

The more I think about the game this weekend, the more I think it’s going to come down to which QB plays best. Milroe hasn’t been great for most of the second half against Georgia, at Candy, or against South Carolina. If he gets right, might be a long night for our Vols.

Same goes for Bama though if Nico hits on some of these passes he has missed on the past 2 weeks.

Popular media take on the game will be Tennessee and Alabama both suck but milroe is a better QB so that gives Alabama the win.
