I believe COVID is real, but I also believe it was highly politicized so it could be used as a weapon against the sitting POTUS. If the person in office had been of a different political affiliation, I don't think the mostly liberal MSM would have covered it the same way. And that's coming from someone that detests all political parties and Donald Trump.

Agreed

I’ll stick to what’s been admitted to here

a poster said that he and boosters were going to do their best to get fulmer and Pruitt fired and using ncaa violations would part of that.


nothing else needs to be said

Right. The person I keep going back to in my mind is Atlanta Vol. He came out and said as much a couple months back. I get the sense that he’s more of a problem than people want to admit or believe.

Can't wait to see these **** ass ticket sales this fall for football, going to be laughable.

You know why it will not be. Because most rolled their donation to the next year and after this crap show, it is too late to recoup it. You already had a chance to opt out and get a refund or roll over. So, most rolled over and they know this. So they can wait and try the new hire high for 22 season tickets instead of now since they already have most locked up. No benefit to do it now except for those who got tickets this year. And if you are buying them instead of rolling them with Covid out there like it was with all the fear that was being pushed for political reasons, you are probably likely to say what the heck and buy again. I have not given them any money yet and have let them know that basketball is probably all I will do which would mean less than half of what I normally do. I am waiting to see how things play out. But will probably at worse if I reduce my donation for just basketball, might as well keep two football tickets anyway since it would not cost more than the price of two tickets at face anyway. So even as fed up as I am, it is not costing them a ton of their budget next year when they already have most of the money collected from opt outs. I have made more money selling basketball tickets just so far this season than on football tickets over the last three years. I usually give them away but the experience is better on TV at home even as good as the team is than it is at TBA plus my son can't go as much due to being in two sports in high school. I don't feel like chasing people to give tickets to who may or may not want to go to help my business when I can just list and sell in a few minutes.

I wonder where, and how, the economic trickle down effect will play out if swaths of the fanbase check out.

Why’d it take Chip Kelly so long?
Click to expand...

Situations vary. He was essentially handed the keys to a Porsche that was already headed toward the top at Oregon and managed to keep it going in that direction without wrecking. That got him more opportunities, which have not panned out for him. I’ll admit, I wanted Kelly for UT when Jones was out, but I was wrong. I may also be wrong about Osovet and I actually hope that I am, but that doesn’t change the fact 99% of the people that wouldn’t mind seeing him take over as OC are basing it solely on a video tutorial.

I love me some Bahamas, especially off the beaten path. My uncle owns a house on a remote out island. It's stunning. We love to visit. Problem is getting there. Have to charter a plane to get there. It's truly a paradise.

We always stay with Sandals. Just easier for us doing all inclusive. Plus, we can visit different resorts on different islands.

It's in flux. Technically, we have two open positions, two expiring contracts not yet renewed and several guys who're looking around. They wanted to add a defensive guy, and they've done that. How they shuffle and backfill the rest and how that will impact the offensive scheme, IDK.

I want to see something meaningful from Joe Osovet. I refuse to believe he's not a good coach.

Parent advice needed: I’m wanting to get our kid a 12v ride on, but can’t decide on what’s the best. Any ideas? Oh......and faaahhrr prooot!

If you're ok with a used one, we've got a 12v gator like this in our basement. It's in very good shape. We've got a charger for it but I don't know if the battery is good, it hasn't been charged in a few years. I'm in the N. Knoxville area if you're interested.
