Predates your time…. Tank-barreling-through-snow.gif guy when we heard Butch was on his way to see Adoree Jackson. 😆 I was unconscious, came back to life.

Like Meheupel… timing nailed it.

I'm sorry I missed it. I've seen references to other golden moments, like some dude's open letter to a recruit, I believe. Volnation is definitely an entertaining read and even though I've turned into an old cynic, I can usually remember and relate to the emotions of hard core football fans.

I think that was the post that got me seriously addicted to reading this message board. You guys were in the throes of a coaching search, messages were accumulating by 20-30 pages per hour, and I was following the comments about this aged, mute poster called Neyland Rising, working his or her way through the backlog and handing out likes on comments that were several days old. I'd had a couple or three drinks and was perusing this thread late at night and suddenly I saw his practically uninterpretable first statement, just a newly synthesized word that somehow invoked the current state of that debacle and the hoped for outcome. That's the hardest I've every laughed at a message board, couldn't stop for 20 minutes. Maybe the best post ever written here.

It was absolutely epic. GOAT, IMO.

Supposedly ND is promoting their DC to HC according to CBS. Feels like they could have done better, that's a big gamble on a first time ever HC.

I think it’s a smart move. He’s young and energetic coach who I think will do better than kelly will at LSU

LWS posted that the 85 hard cap was back for 2022 but I have not found it "officially" anywhere so far.

Seems like they would have to relax it if they're going to allow super seniors. But maybe I heard wrong.

My wife can’t understand why I’m on this board so much. Half of it is sheer comedy. We’re like a family. A dysfunctional one at times, but it never gets old. We’ve been through the woodshed as a fanbase and we’re stronger for it.

They say he’s key to an extremely strong ‘22 and ‘23 class they have up there and he’s extremely well respected (according to Mark Packer today on my drive home lol)

ESPN Upstate guy said he wants Tennessee vs Penn St bowl game because “he wants them to put Tennessee back in their place and shut them up talking about how they’re back. Penn St would knock them back 10 years.”

Someone texted in saying they wanted a UT vs Clemson bowl game, he said
“yawn. Clemson would win huge. 42-20 or something similar. It wouldn’t be close. I’ll spare you the trouble of wondering.”

No one ever says Tennessee is back other than rival fans. That's it. Then they use themselves to claim Vol fans are saying "Tennessee is back!" It's obnoxious as hell.

He's taking over a program in a good spot so that's a while lot easier than a first time HC trying to do a rebuild. Still, they've got the money and clout for a home run.
