they do? btw i've called on towns small and smaller from Morgantown, down to White Sulphur Springs, Bluefield, Coal Country, to Weaverville, Jellico, La Follette. Sometimes you're right, sometimes not so right. Sometimes there isnt even a coffee shop.
There's one common denominator.View attachment 727308

If they're too small to have a coffee shop, they definitely don't have a Starbucks. So when Starbucks is an option, there's almost always a better option.

Well, my Pawpaw passed away this morning.

Former Vol from 1963-65

Was part of that first group to run through the T and helped Dickey to get the Vols back to relevance.

He was a colorful character and hilarious. I'll always cherish his football stories. They meant a lot to me as a kid and still do. Hanging out with him and the Swamp Rat lol.

RIP and Go Vols!

I think a lot of people take losses in midweek games against G5 schools too seriously. Don't get me wrong, a loss like this is embarassing, but imo it's more an indictment of depth in the bullpen. You're throwing out super inexperienced pitchers against the small school's best pitchers. So if you have a small school with a really stout, older lineup and they've got a decent starter they can get these wins against big schools.

The red flags go up with this happens repeatedly early in the season... like Mississippi State and Texas A&M are dealing with.

All that said, Ole Miss sucks and YAHTSI

Really seems like we always get the short end, better overall record than Bama and own the Head to Head....but they leap frog us after going 1-1 the same week we go 1-1.

But a few folks in the Basketball forum have been speculating since we lost to Ole Miss "they'll put us in Duke's bracket regardless" and sure starting to seem that way. But the buzz seems to be they'll try to put us in a geographical bracket that makes the most sense, so East or South are most likely whether we're the #5 overall seed or not.

Unless we win the SECT and get the 4th 1 seed I think we're stuck in Duke's bracket. The biggest confusing part is why Michigan State wasn't put in the Midwest and Bama in the South.

The funny thing is that Houston is a terrible matchup for Bama. Bama has much better odds of beating Duke. I think the Vols have much better odds of beating Houston.
