Ohhhh Bear Alexander in the portal

Would be a big get. To bad he couldn't come to TN.

 

[GiggerVol]

I can't relay the facts

But you could take a long jump and vault your way to a good finish

We NEED to win this one. Go vote!!

It’s almost like that guy …. Hates us

 

[Jackcrevol]

this secondary will be elite in two years.

really impressed with the injection of athleticism. nice job to Willie Mo and defensive assistants for getting some players.

now, go get a headhunter safety and some backers for '24. (Perhaps not projects).

 

[peaygolf]

I really don't think so

Just from what I see and hear, most hate Bama because they are so good and so many are "bandwagon" fans. Most hate UT because the fans are obnoxious.
I like it.

 

[MarcoVol]

Are we really hated more than the bammers though?

Yes. Vols football fans = OSU football fans = UK bball fans.

Tennessee 12, rating 15.2


Other notes from the article:

 

[drvenner]

We’re back on track to where we should be!

It is a marathon AND a sprint!!

 

[drvenner]

We're striking out on all the top TE's. Thomas to FSU and Reddell to jawja. Can't stand the stupid mutts. They're a step ahead of everyone on the trail. This is why we must beat them THIS year at home. If we lose that game they could go on a long run against us.

Still buying trouble, I see.

 

[drvenner]

Interesting theory, discus.

I guess you were just throwing that out there?

Having lived outside the state of TN the majority of my life I haven't noticed this.

I still kinda disagree because your casual fan right now really likes that TN is back and almost everyone was happy to see us beat Bama and most of those people hate Bama because they've been at the top for so long and see all of their fans as bandwagon POS.

Like there's no way that ppl hate TN more than the gumps. So I kinda doubt that somehow our fanbase is hated more than our actual football team.

I can see that changing, or perhaps it's the rest of the SEC that liked to kick us when we are down that's brining more hate for us than anyone else.

Whatever happened to TrollaVol? He was always on here “complaining” about his UGA loving BIL and raving about how much he hated the Dawgs…cuz they were great and we’d never catch up to them.

 

[Ace]

He was always going to BYU

I have you know I have never been called obnoxious!

Until now

I prefer orange out over checker.

Both are great.

Both are great.

There’s always a few obnoxious fans that won’t wear the right color.

The orange out posts remind me of when I first joined this board and there were people arguing over what to wear on game days. I was in the "orange is the only appropriate color for neyland" crowd. There was some poster with lawyer in his screen name that talked about there being no good official UT Football Gameday apparel so he wore his black Versace shirts or whatever he said. I haven't seen him post in a long time but I did enjoy him. Maybe someone else remembers him.

True story… I just found out the lyric from Katy Perry’s “Waking up in Vegas” Is not “waking up the neighbors”

I never had any idea why the neighbors were awakened or why there was money involved

The D was flying around and having fun, and looked faster than last year. I look for a big improvement on that side of the ball.

APRIL 18.............

Not many "good' things have happened in history on my birthday

* 1902 Guatemala earthquake kills about 2,000
* 1904 San Francisco earthquake destroys most of the city
* University of Alabama was founded..


Best I could find:

April 18th, 1945, Pete Gray made his MLB debut and went 1-4.


Baseball is a difficult game to play well for those with two good arms but Pete Gray did it with one. Gray played only one season in the major leagues, 1945, but that was enough to have a lasting positive influence on people with disabilities. His accomplishment enlightened those of us who are perfectly formed, too —and it redefined how we view people with disabilities. Gray’s feel-good story was cathartic to a war-torn country, especially to disabled servicemen returning from World War II. His achievement was due to his incredible focus and determination. Gray became famous, but he was also “manipulated by club owners as well as by the media, maligned by many of his teammates, and left to wonder just how good a player he really was.”1 He deferred praise for his bravery to soldiers who had served on the battlefield. Gray spent his later years in obscurity and poverty and he would later say that he hadn’t done enough, given the opportunities he had, to help disabled people. There was one youth, however, Nelson Gary Jr., a 3-year-old, whom Gray met and befriended, and the two became forever linked by the coincidence of losing their right arms.
