Do you twist the door knob to the right or left when opening a door?

Yes

Calculus for me. Only spoke 2 words of English.

“Do This”

When asked to explain why and how, the only response was “Do This” absolutely sure that she also only understood “Do This “

Couldn’t have dropped the class any quicker.
Took me a while to get through Calculus because none of them spoke English.
Then I got lucky and found Wally. He was an actual American. He could explain the processes in English! Calculus still sucked but at least I knew why and how it sucked.
I’m still bitter about the weed out courses required for medical school: Calculus, Physics and Organic Chemistry. The courses were okay, but it was almost like UTK hired the worst professors to torture students with aspirations to go to med school…

My Organic Chem teacher at UTK in the 90s was one of the best teachers I ever had. He made it all seem obvious. Later in grad school I used his explanations with my classmates and they finally got it too. He was a fantastic teacher.

I would disagree, the SEC East was a cake walk then. Compared to now.

Not sure. The ACC was still fairly week as well outside of Clemson and a couple others. Florida was pretty good in 2015 and we still should have beaten them.

I have to stop twxting and mowing.

My point? If ACC was weaker then AND the SEC East was weaker AND Botch STILLLL managed to cock it up with an NFL roster, mustve taken a special kinda stupid to do what he did, or didnt do.

100% of my bets are that he wins 8-9 games, and acts like Roman conqueror marching back to Rome after destroying the Germanic tribes.

I can’t see him winning that many but gave you a like for the conqueror persona he will put on if he just doubles the wins.

.500, he'll go for slayer of nations.

Did I really read several pages back that McGill is expecting us to be 6-6 or maybe 7-5 this year?

I'm actually leaning more towards 9-3, with the possibility of 8-4 if Joe struggles..

Remember McGill looks at the worst possible outcome, expects that, and then waits for them to prove him wrong. He absolutely hates for fans to get outraged because the team doesn’t live up to the hype.

 

[SweetasSoda]

McGill always plays it conservatively. It's his disposition. I understand him concerned primarily lest people turn on the staff if the slightest thing goes wrong. He's allergic to high expectations but loves high end results like everyone else.

Yep

That reminds me of my Iranian finance professor that couldn’t be understood. Torture.

Was an Iranian language course a pre-requisite maybe?

Yep….. you can’t fail if you never have any expectations.

I think he will squeeze a bowl game out of them.

Got (in a sense) a tie in the first game. Prolly a highlight.

 

[NighthawkVol]

You”disagree” that winning 6 games against an ACC schedule is easier than winning the SEC East.

Okie dokie.

Should have been.

Man, to have an orange one!

You'd be honorary Vol Navy pulling up to Neyland in that land yacht!

They don’t play an OOC DII team?

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

How pisses would we be if Peyton Manning became a head coach somewhere and started poaching our players.

Without the Russians, the first atomic bomb would have been dropped on Germany. Same outcome, except no East Germany.

If Patton had been heeded, he would have taken out the Russian Threat too.

If the Japanese had stopped fighting. No atomic bomb would have been dropped on Japan. The Japanese leaders squandered human lives as badly as Stalin. I actually took care of a WWII veteran who survived the Bat-an Death March. His stories were horrific. The Japanese considered themselves humans and the rest were subhumans of no consequence if they were tortured, killed or otherwise mistreated.

I'm sure you know about unit 731. I'm not even going to link to it.

Kentucky with 3 outs on 4 pitches. End of the first.
