Shiny black would look Darth Vader-ish, please no.

I vote matte black too.

You have @500 posts and this is worthy of posting. Get that ish out of here.

Try this 15-0 🤠

In my best godfather voice……

Gonna make you an offer you can’t refuse. You say 15-0, I say 9-3. Whoever‘s closest to actual record gets their mortgage paid off by the other. What say you (with my fingers crossed behind my back) 😎😎
 
I will give you a ton of points for that one but I have to chime in with something... My mentor was born in 30s (so was his wife) and his wife though American grew up in the Shah's Iran. I don't remember if her father was a missionary, pastor or both but she was fully integrated into what Iran was like at that time. What most people don't realize is that up until the Revolution, Iran was considered the Jewel of the Middle East. Seriously, both Iran and Lebanon were as westernized and forward thinking as it got (even moreso than a lot of your less developed Europen nations) but war and a religious revolution that only happened because the Ayatollah was basically the only guy still there absolutely destroyed Iran.

Even today, most Iranians (especially younger Iranians) would do just about anything to reverse what happened. Despite the hateful rhetoric put out via official channels, the truth is that the average Iranian is very pro-West. They can only do so much without being drug off to a secret prison and tortured but if they had their way their country would be very different.
I had a professor in college that grew up in that Iran and told us about it. Freedom should not be taken lightly.
 
Any idea if Tennessee prefers the 3-6 model or the 1-7 model for the SEC future schedule

-AP
You know, 1-7 might be even better. In an eight-game conference schedule, the same seven opponents appear every other year, and there’s always the same number of home and road SEC games. I don't mind playing each team every other year. My main interest is everybody playing everybody. Now that I think of it, 1-7 might be better. But I'm not going to worry about it, unless they call and inform me that I get a vote.

I mean what's wild is that the Shah was hardly a good guy when it came to his enemies. But he was a man of his time and place and also better than what they wound up with and by quite a lot. I think that had the Shah's regime lasted it likely would've transitioned to a more humane regime even towards internal dissidents if for no other than reason than the close ties he kept with the US and EU would've demanded it but that's one of those things we will never know.
