Milton was my favorite character in Office Space.

Let's hope Joe Milton can set this place on fire.

In Heup we trust. Gird your loins, the battles will soon begin. Just don't expect to win the long war this season.

 

[Vols4us]

He won't get praise from me until after Florida.

Yep - the litmus test every season is that game.

 

[Weezer]

One of the hottest games I have ever been to in my life. People were passing out in the stands.

Try marching on a turf field in a wool uniform in Florida.

 

[RikidyBones]

Then he might not get any at all lmao

Well

PVT Warren Glinn Harding Davault enlisted in the US Army at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia on November 14, 1942. Tragically, he was killed in action fighting in the Battle of Hurtgen Forest on November 20, 1944. Even more tragically, his remains were never recovered. His remains, along with remains from other soldiers were eventually interred at Ardennes American Cemetery in Belgium in 1951. At that time, none of these remains were able to be identified. About a year and a half ago, My wife got a letter requesting a DNA sample to assist with potentially identifying remains. Her and her brother sent the samples. Subsequently, through the tireless efforts of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), using the DNA, other evidence and dental and anthropological evidence and testing at the Andrew Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska, PVT Harding's remains were identified. Today, I had the unbelievable honor of attending his memorial service and burial at his hometown cemetery in Dayton, Tennessee. I do not mind telling you that I was moved to tears witnessing this hero, this patriot, this soldier, being honored by his hometown and his remaining family. The unit he served with sent soldiers from Fort Carson, Colorado and he was buried with full military honors. It was such a moving and uplifting experience and an honor that I will never be able to repeat. I would respectfully ask my friends and family to please honor this great man. I would respectfully ask everyone to please remember this great man. I would ask everyone to please rejoice that this great man, this soldier, this hero is finally able to come home. He made the ultimate sacrifice for you and me. He did it willingly because he felt it was the right thing to do. He did it because he loved his country and wanted to keep it safe for you and me. Please remember him.

Okay.


Just kidding.

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Yes!
Our coaching staff is finding them.

Hope so

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Hope so

Bet






Does anyone know if I did that correctly? C’mon, someone help the older dude…

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Hope so

I missed responding to one of your earlier posts. The crankier you are, the longer you live. So by my reckoning, you will see 6 national championships here at Tennessee before you pass in 2057.

I think you're underestimating. We might as well start calling him Methuselah.

 

[cgarner30]

I may have missed it, so apologies in advance if I did, but I haven’t seen anything about special teams other than one list of who we have as return guys. Has there been any talk about how the kicking game looks so far?

It is soon going to be little better than the WWE, that is pretty much what it already is now. There isn't much, if any real competition, and it is about to shed all pretense of integrity...it is nothing but "Sports Entertainment".

I hope I am wrong, I don't have a ton of years left, and I would like to see a team of real Vols before I check out of this world.

I want that too, but are there many players like that anymore? This depresses me.

Ha, got it!
Just wanted to see if I could do that multi-quote thingy…
I feel kinda proud.

It’s the little things in life.

Milton Hershey gave us kisses.

 

[SoilVol]

Y’all make Milton sound like Cam Newton. Chill out.

Don’t judge until after the Pitt game.

Cam Newton - 6'5" 245lbs 4.59 40-yd dash.
Joe Milton III - 6'5" 244lbs 4.60 40-yd dash.

He won't get praise from me until after 15-0.

Here are the facts: we know that Joe Milton in game three last year had a heavily wrapped thumb so I decided to look at his first two game averages:

Joe was 23.5- 36.5 for 64% 265 yards .5 TD 0 int
Joe ran for 10-55.5 yards 5.55 ypc .5 TDs
After the injury, he didn’t really run the ball any more.
min his two games….he completed a higher % of passes and averaged more yards per carry than Josh Dobbs…. He also averaged more rushing yards per game than Dobbs in every besides Dobbs senior season when he averaged 63 yards per game….
Joe Milton may be a better runner than most are giving him credit for bc it is obvious the thumb injury really hindered him last season.

Play with your numbers dude…he ain’t a better runner than Dobbs. /film study.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Dobbs had Championship potential.

 

[SpringBokVol]

I think the percentage we play 2 QBs against BG is like 80%
