@Orangeredblooded ,figured I'd share in here since you ask occasionally, and others can help us pray. The California bladder thing that didn't work out may be back on the table now. Mayo has been working with her Dr here, and got her tube's out of her kidneys. She's fair, and the case worker for my insurance asked her what happened with the whole bladder thing. She explained the tubes caused more infection, the funding wasn't there like the Dr's hoped, etc. The case worker asked if Tiffany cared if she called the Dr herself, she's been talking with her for over a year trying to help. Anyway, looks like we're going to go meet the Dr's, and discuss the surgery. Not only did the case worker get our travel and lodging fully funded, but the complete cost of the transplant if they do it. I get they'd get recognition for a breakthrough procedure since they funded it, but talk about God opening a door. We'd completely quit thinking about it, but looks like we're heading out there to discuss the possibility.

I am so sorry. I won’t comment anymore on here and I’ll text you tomorrow. That’s all I’ll say on here. Please kiss Tiffany on cheek for me.

I won't lie the hype is getting a little too fast for my post traumatic BVS.

Yeah...I hate that feeling...but decades of getting absolutely gutted by high but false expectations leaves deep ugly thick scars on your heart.


This kid is special though...at some point he WILL struggle and have an off game where he has to grind to find ways to get it done, I think that is inevitable, but his games "struggling" are likely to be better than 90% of QBs best game.

I wish everybody would chill just a little though...it feels like they are setting him so far up just so they can tear him down when he has a not so spectacular performance.

This years baseball team truly tore the veil and cured me forever of my BVS. I’m embracing the hype and believe!

Between grad schools and changing majors you can really rack up the fandom.

I'm a fan of:

ETSU
Pellissippi St ("Farragut College")
UT
TN Tech
Western Carolina University

Dang. You got four or five degrees?
U b a real smart one.

 

[COOKEVOL]

I am SO SO thankful we have a fun product to watch. cannot imagine looking forward to sloppy, uninspired meh-ball again

I’ve been on the Carolina board just relishing the fact that we aren’t going through that crap any more. The mental gymnastics are very familiar to what it was like over here when we were in the desert. Only difference is they don’t have a history to be missing.

Guess I am Gilligan and you are The Skipper.

So you’re “little buddy”?

What’s a picutre?

It is a tyop..

 

[LaagerVol]

The "was Golesh the reason our offense worked" question took a fatal blow.

I thought that was one of the most nonsensical takes last season.

Yeah...I was cured too back in 22..until that South Carolina game...and then last years Florida game...and then last years Mizzou game..

All I'm saying is that I am very guardedly hopeful now...I know that dumb weird crap can happen against almost ANYBODY and I bitterly hate being disappointed and do not deal well with it...so I just stay cautiously optimistic so I will not go off the deep end like the Idiot Margin does when not great things happen.

That works for me.


PS...It wasn't that we lost to Florida and Mizzou...it was HOW we lost to them that messed with me...I knew we could lose those games, but I expected a far better showing because Milton had kinda suckered me in the Clemson game into believing he was much more capable than he was.

Anyways...GO VOLS!

 

[Glitch]

You're killing it, my man!

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

That's hilarious. This was done in April of 2021, presumably in reaction to Milton coming on board. Little did they know there were 2 future NFL QBs on the roster. The Heupel effect in full force and a good reminder of what he started with.

We're about to see what Heupel can do with an elite talent at QB.

You don’t think that it was all of the QBs before? JG, Worley etc.?

 

[drvenner]

It will be easier because they'll be back on the bench after 3 plays and a touchdown

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

I’m in a quandary.
I can’t stand the longhorns.
I detest michigan.

It helps us more if michigan wins, I think.

What’s your opinion?

 

[engineerVOL]

What’s a picutre?

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Eff the media. We deserve to be higher than 14. Those guys are all idiots.

They will learn.

16-0

Meteor, or a Death Star visit. Which ever gets there first.

Seriously, after watching both, I think MI has 0 chance.

[drvenner]

Some of the pissing contests we've gotten into the last couple of days are, um, interesting.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

I think UK, Arky and MSU are better than those rankings...and UF is probably worse.

For us to have a truly great season, to make the playoff...we have to win at Okie, which is going to be a freaking chore, and we can not have any slip-ups against those three mid tier schools, we can't afford a repeat of USC 22....and I don't think they will be easy wins....at least one, if not all of them will give us a dogfight.

We HAVE to take care of Florida for once...period. According to what we have seen of them, we are a far superior team in all phases of the game...so GET IT DONE.


I think we can beat Bama and UGA...but their rosters are just so freaking stacked it is hard to expect a win against either.

Of course...NC State comes first...

Go Vols!

For those of you who don’t speak curmudgeon…this translates to
