Dr. story time. So I go get blood work done twice a year and I've always had high Cholesterol across the board. My Dr always, always, always tries to put me on a statin drug and I always refuse. Fast forward to about 2 years ago when I went to an all meat diet, my Cholesterol went through the roof, he started to really act concerned at this point, again I refused to take a statin. My last checkup was in early March and he FINALLY asked if anything about my diet has changed. Duh... When I told him about my all meat diet for about 2 years he got super pissed and demanded that I go on a statin and change my diet back. I refused as usual so he said ok then a**hole I want you to go take a coronary calcium test. Here's where it gets good.

I agreed to take his little test but only if he accepted a bet. He is a UT grad and we always talk about the Vols during my appointments. The bet was that if my test came back fine that he had to give me tickets to a game this year. If he won I'd go on the Statin and change my diet back. I go take this test Monday at the freaking hospital during the CoViD-19 pAnDeMiC, was like trying to get into Fort Knox by the way.

His nurse called me yesterday annnnnnd…………………….

Perfectly normal coronary calcium test and no build up around my heart at all. I told her to put his butt on the phone because we had some business to take care of. She lolled at me and said that he told her to let me know he was working from home for awhile.

He's coming off those tickets one way or the other....

I'm no Dr but I think there is a link between blood sugar levels and cholesterol. My cholesterol has never been bad, actually really good but my blood glucose levels were pre-diabetic. My doctor wanted to start me on meds and I refused, said I would control with diet. That's when I started a very low carb diet. Low carb diets typically mean you have have to eat more meat than before to offset some of the missing carbs. As I said before, I lost 40lbs which is good but with the increased meat (No I can't do just chicken and fish, I'm not a communist 😁), I was worried about my cholesterol. So I had a physical back in February and I asked the doctor about my cholesterol levels and he said they weren't bad the last time but even lower this time.

Just heard on the sports animal that the leader of the covid 19 taskforce for UT said there will be no fans in Neyland Stadium this year. I just can't even began to invision Neyland not having fans. An atmosphere would be non existent.

1. He doesnt make the decision on that.
2. They are still selling season tickets.
3. It's way too far out to even start thinking about making the decision for no fans. If congress passes no liability, theyll do it.

On recruiting numbers...

Ultimately, at this point Tennessee isn’t going to turn down a player high on its board. Even at positions where they appear to be full, if a top player calls then Tennessee is picking up the phone. It’ll let the numbers work themselves out. Could there be tricky roads to navigate down the line? Sure, but with a record number of prospects committing so early this cycle due to COVID-19, many expect a record number of decommitments later this fall, too. So the Vols are loading up with as many good players as they can

Okay, this made me laugh.

Researchers in china have been testing covid infected bodily fluids for presence of the virus. They have found it in the semen of the infected men. The chinese researchers warned that covid-19 may need to be considered a sexually transmitted disease/infection as well 😳

This came from a medical journal highlighted in the Texas Medical Association daily headlines briefing. Oh boy, as if there’s not already enough panic about this virus...maybe investment opportunities in full body condoms? Holy Moly 🤔

Question.....so the rumor on this board is no fans this fall, UT has sent their ticket request out early this year.

Has UT issued a statement about reimbursement plans (if needed)?

My wife used to live in Chicago so she turned me into a Chicago sports fan. Cubs of course. I bet she and I have been to the Windy City at least 30 times together. I love it there. Will move there eventually to Lincoln Park neighborhood.

What they’re going to do is get your money then decide if and when you get it back.

My bet is they’ll have everyone buy tickets as normal. Then when it is decided we’re going to have games without fans, we’ll all get an email saying “we’re disappointed about this year. But if you do not get a refund, your tickets will be good next year!” yada yada yada

So do we really think there won’t be fans?... it’s May and September is a long way off. I think it is silly to assume what September will be like in May.

I tend to assume we pulled the plug on social distancing too quickly and we’re going to get a huge second wave of this thing in a few weeks.

Whether or not that’s the case, there’s no way they’re going to stuff 100k people in one spot every Saturday.
