At what point do you realize that football season is here? First UT kick-off, when they start game week prep, or when the first college game actually starts?

It's usually Vol Calls for me.

With the speed of our offense, then we need a lot of depth on defense. Banks interview today gives me hope. Looks like we are going to play two - three deep all of over the field. Key will be keeping best guys fresh for 4th quarter. If injuries can be minimized, we can have a pretty good defense.

Oooh awesome. I don't need a big one. The one in our bedroom is in the 29-32+ inches range (I think). I'd like to get us one that streams his Netflix, Disney+, Prime etc. easily if I can but I will probably be a bit rushed because I need to wait until my parents get back from out of town so that's only going to give me a few days to shop. Even so, I'm hoping I can get something relatively cheap since I recently replaced an ipad he dropped and kinda need to let our funds replenish but I think that that size is doable. :)

32 inch is good for bedroom or outside. 50" is optimal, esp for football. LED and Super Amoled (8K) required certain lighting conditions, ive found back lighting and little natural light help, esp with football.

Again, using that BB camera size estimator shows you how big it will be on wall. Always go bigger than you think you will need.

Ive got 70" and honestly prob coulda gone 80" and been fine.

Have a 50" in living room that I really like. Its connected to an Apple TV I won at work. Trash, Roku's the deal.

I didn't really fall in love with college football and the Vols until I was a senior in college. That was 2007. My older brother asked me to go with him to an away game in Gainesville, and I figured sure, why not? It'd be a neat experience. We got smashed, 59-20 as I recall, but I still remember coming back to my seat with the Vol section going nuts after EB's pick-six. Yelling "GO BIG ORANGE!" in unison with the other faithful while the Florida fans were completely silent is one of my most vivid football memories.

Since I became a fan, I've witnessed 8 losing seasons. I've never watched the Vols beat Alabama live. I watched us lose 5 out of 7 to Vanderbilt. I've been punched where it hurts more times than I can remember.

So if I could go back in time, would I go to Gainesville and fall in love with the Vols again, knowing the sheer amount of disappointment that was in store for me for at least the next 15 years?

Hell yes, I'd go again.

In spite of the disappointment, it's still worth it to watch that T open and hear that crowd roar and go nuts for every good play. I'd absolutely do it all over again.

It seems like those kinds of "insiders" only come around to flex access when A) things are going really well and there's buzz around the program or B) it's coach search time.

Our program/fans aren't the only ones. So many dorks that didn't go to Alabama, Georgia, or Clemson that I've seen on social media bragging about meeting this person, sitting in those seats, or being generally "closer" to the program than the average fan.

I still want tickets to that area though.
