Texas Roadhouse is definitely the best chain sit down restaurant out there.

Stoney River is my favorite (regional) chain steakhouse. It's only a bit more expensive than Texas Roadhouse/Longhorn/Outback but comparable to Fleming's/Ruth's Chris/Morton's for quality. My wife and I used to go to the one on West End in Nashville all the time.

I haven't been in a decade so things certainly could have changed, but it was a great deal back when we used to go. Could get out the door for $100 less than Fleming's for food that was 90% as good.

Don't start with me. Possum is the one that likes it bone-in.

That's not the reputation you have at the truck stop. They say you have no problem paying for the bone.

I can attest it’s true. His number is on the inside of the third stall. I took a picture. Even called for er.. um.. journalistic integrity and identity verification purposes.



True Story.

Sorry @InVOLuntary I know I said I’d never tell a soul, but, I lied.

Looks a little like Slimer.

His first time seeing the light, clearly.

I cant believe the NCAA is still having fantasies of their relevency. FAFO thanks to the Vols.

Eli doesn’t deserve to be in the Hall of Faamr and Josh Allen was more than deserved of the MVP.

I'm not saying he should have been a first ballot HoFer, but Eli does deserve to be in. Sure, his overall record is lackluster. Guess what? He played for a crappy team for his entire career. The Giants have been so mismanaged over the years that it isn't even funny. Despite that, Eli took them to two SBs and won. Both times he was the MVP of the SB. And one of those wins was against a dominant 16-0 Pats team that everyone believed would be only the second team in NFL to go undefeated. There are people in the HoF who have done less. Eli is deserving to eventually make it, but I'm perfectly okay with him not being a first ballot guy.

Disagree. Eli was a second tier QB his whole career. There were always 5-10 guys you’d rather have than Eli under center.

Oklahoma fans shedding some concerned tears for Fears after seeing the injury report last evening, but there’s a little less conversation regarding his backup, Kobe Elvis. If he’s forced into action, don’t be shocked if Barnes makes a concerted effort to get him all shook up early in the first half in this now-or-never situation for Porter Moser’s club.

I've watched Kobe Elvis play a lot and he's not good. I was happy when he transfered from Dayton and surprised he ended up at a SEC program.

Ive been to several schools. For one, Tuscaloosa and Auburn are nice. Fans were fun, we also beat that ass in 1999.

Vandy doesnt register.

South Carolina would be nice, if it werent in South Carolina, specifically Columbia is poopoo. Its stadium is in a fairground.

Ben Hill Griffin is a nice stadium, interior is definitely unique. And I like that.

That said. Exterior, Campus, Fan Base are exactly what you hear.

February 8, 1936
1st NFL Draft - First Vol Drafted


After the NFL instituted its waiver system in 1934 to allow teams to pick up available players, Philadelphia Eagles co-owner Bert Bell felt that his team was at a disadvantage in signing top players. Without the monetary advantage that other clubs had, the Eagles and other teams with fewer resources had little chance of attracting impact players.

At a 1935 league meeting, Bell proposed that the NFL hold an annual player draft to level the playing field and make sure that every franchise remained financially viable. League owners voted unanimously to adopt his proposal, setting up the inaugural NFL Draft in 1936.

This first draft was a far cry from the spectacle fans have come to expect today. Held on Feb. 8, 1936, at Philadelphia’s Ritz-Carlton Hotel, clubs selected from a pool of only 90 players. There were no formal scouting departments, no agents and no 24-hour sports media coverage. The list of eligible players was compiled from newspaper reports, visits to local colleges by team executives, and recommendations to front-office personnel.

With the first pick, Bell’s Eagles selected Heisman Trophy winner Jay Berwanger from the University of Chicago. Rather than play pro football, the star halfback opted for a career as a foam rubber salesman. Berwanger’s choice wasn’t unusual — only 24 of the 81 players chosen in the first draft went on to play in the NFL. Most opted for more secure and stable professions, many of which paid better.


In the 4th round, the New York Giants selected Gene Rose, End form the University of Tennessee ............... The first NFL draft pick from Tennessee.

Tuscaloosa is so overrated............IMO

UF stadium is nice, but I gotta say, besides Neyland, I'd rather see a game in Oxford or Starkville. I like the atmospheres at those two schools. More intimate.........

Sounds like it’s gonna be heartbreak hotel for the Sooners if Fears can’t go.
