I was in graduate school and had left my apartment to get to the stadium in time to see Colorado play UGA. My brother was updating me over the phone as I went to the stadium. I lost reception as I got inside, but as luck would have it, a guy in a Tennessee beanie was standing a few rows down updating the game to his friend. I got to him right as he said, "We just won." My eyes lit up. "WE WON?!" "Yeah," he said, "Stopped 'em at the goal line." I pumped my fist and ran out of the stadium. Ran into two professors attending the game who waved at me. "WE BEAT LSU!" I yelled at them as I ran by. I got reception back and my brother called me. We were celebrating when he went "Wait. Hang on. There's a flag." My heart sank. We all know what happened next. In my next class on Monday, my professor said, "Math is hard." I seethed. Still hurts, 10 years later. Oh well. I did get to watch Colorado beat Georgia that night.

I watched the ball fly over Jordan Jefferson’s head on a wall of HDTVs at Best Buy. Was working there that day. Went back to the computer section happy as hell thinking Dooley had his signature win. Took hours to find out that wasn’t the case.

Crush is crumbling. Thought he was the perfect type for that job. X’s and O’s proficient who can play golf with the big oil dummies and kiss babies.

I'm just messing with ya...If you remember, I used to pull your chain over your crush on him when he was at Houston all the time because I always thought he was a little bit overrated, but I actually thought he would do a lot better there than he has.

I felt like he was a little bit overrated, but I also thought he had a lot of potential to he really good, but he has completely blown it at Texas for whatever reason. He may have to go the Kiffin route to restore his career after this is over.

Y'all, I want you to know how awesome @StoVol is. As some of you will recall, I'm trying to figure out how to get the OH and I setup with iWatches because of his health (I didn't say so at the time but he is in hospice care although we're hopeful that we can eventually 'graduate' from hospice back to palliative and skip out on the whole dying thing). I'm his primary caregiver and so being able to monitor his vitals and step outside of the room without having to worry that he might fall or need something and be unable to contact me is something that I view as a potential godsend (and I'm deadly serious about that - the stress that will relieve is something I look forward to more than I can properly express) and something the iwatches will enable us to do once we're able to get them. However, to do that we needed an iphone as well because post-fire I'd bought a cheap android which makes getting all this setup a fairly expensive endeavor, especially given our circumstances. So I asked y'all if you knew where I might find a good deal on iwatches and iphones etc. because I know a lot of y'all are phone nerdz and smarties even though you don't always act like it. ;) Y'all provided some good weblinks for electronics stuff and I'm def. using them and super-thankful for the help there too.

Well, StoVol was all like "yo! I got an older one lying around will that work?" and boom in less than a week I get a very nice iphone 6 plus in the mail from him. I offered to at least let me pay him postage and he wouldn't even take that. He also included some extra cords and a plug-in. And I gotta say, he treats his stuff super nice because it's in mint condition. So, I nominate StoVol as our Volunteer of the Week! He embodies the spirit of what it's all about to be a part of this fanbase and family. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you! I'm 1/3rd of the way there thanks to you!

just to be clear young man, I don’t hold your youth and inexperience against you. I continue to hold out hope that when you are 15 or 16 your taste will change and you will enjoy grown-up beverages with the rest of us. In the meantime, don’t let the grumpy man steal your joy.

15 is so long from now though

Great story. Thank you @StoVol for your generosity. Luckily this week's prize for Volunteer of the week is three bins of the Boy Scout popcorn. Congrats!

Thanks errbody. As you can imagine this year has had a huge impact on me. I've decided to change course and rely on the Lord more and just be kind and giving when the opportunity arises.

Deep down I'm just a sarcastic prick. But 2020 has been the most terrible and also the best year I've had. Done a couple other things I won't speak on but the blessings have returned Sevenfold from those as well.

I appreciate y'all and try to remember every day that each blade of grass is a miracle. Every living thing. And also the non living things.

I was thinking the other day that the very last thing God created was woman, then it was finished. So I encourage all you guys to pay it forward by making your mother's, sisters. Aunt's, cousins, daughters, etc. To feel cherished today.

We are the dumb brutes entrusted with protecting, nourishing, and relying on that last creation.

Git Sum!

In all seriousness though, it is interesting that another former Saban assistant and current SEC HC, Fisher, is not included in the chat. I wonder if he was just not on the chat that particular day, or if he is just not part of that circle?

Would be interesting to know who all is actually involved in the chat.
