Devo--

I like your music style. In the last year--of the bands you mentioned--I have see GRiZ, Odesza, STS9 and My Morning Jacket. All at Red Rocks here in Denver

Only one I was disappointed in was MMJ; was ready for thier one, seemingly never-ending two hour song to be over

Incredible.

Red Rocks is 1000% on my bucket list for the next 5 years. Any comedy clubs to recommend in Denver?

Based off talking to multiple people tonight, I feel like this weekend has gone really well with Kam Franklin, Braylan Staley, Jordan Burns and Cai Bates.

LSU is the biggest competition for Bates in my mind so I’m interested to see what he says in the morning.

Staley imo is trending.

Franklin could change 20 more times but I think TN did as well as they could this weekend.

NWaneri is a tough one to read but I’m told that visit has went well too.

Daniel Calhoun has had a great visit so I’m interested to see if TN moved the needle enough to catch UGA and Bama.

Not sure much is going to go on with Easley. We will see what he says coming up in the morning

I Missed the "up" the first time I read it and thought that was a strange way to respond to his BS strike zone.

I guess it wouldn't be that strange if @Smyrna ATL Vol has a prison inmate mentality towards punishment. That ump was f'ing the Vols batters all night with a ridiculous strike zone. Smyrna's proposed punishment in this instance somewhat fits the crime by showing the ump that he's a b*tch and he needs to stop f'ing our batters.

It's certainly not the way I would handle the situation but I can see how it would be an effective form of "reciprocal punishment". Prisons in Texas, Alabama, Georgia and (ironically) Louisiana are notorious for this type of abuse not being punished even when it is guard on inmate abuse. Smyrna's name does have ATL in it....









I feel the need to say that I'm totally joking, in no way do I condone sexual assault on anyone (even visually impaired or corrupt umpires) and typing that out kinda made me feel dirty. Hope our boys bounce back on Monday and Happy Fathers Day to all my fellow dads (better known as MF'ers Day in my household).

I couldn’t disagree more. I like the old school jerseys. Those are the ones I associate with my dislike for the opponent.

Teams like Oregon who basically have a different jersey for each game have no soul. They are just pandering to their Nike owners.

I love Tennessee Orange over any other color!
Except for the orange helmets, wasn’t the correct shade. I blame those helmets for our inexplicable loss to usc. There’s really no other reason for them to have beaten us so badly, except for the gawdawful condition of their field. I would think that was on purpose and they practiced on that goat ranch in preparation for our game.

Regardless

15-0 🤠

Oregon's uniforms were a gimmick that got them enough attention to get recruits and take a spot as one of the top Pac 12 programs..... USC, UCLA and Washington being down helped along with Cal having very short lived success. It's their thing and with Phil Knight it makes sense. I really like some of their uniforms but also hate a lot of them and think they have taken it to an extreme.

I love traditional uniforms but I also think 2-3 alternates is perfect along with some throwbacks. I love the white jerseys with the orange on the shoulders that we wore as an alternate in the mid 2000's as a throwback to the Condredge Holloway era. I also love this year's black, the smoky gray (Nike version) and think the Orange helmets have potential but would prefer the rifleman logo or Vols cursive script on one side with Tennessee cursive script in white with a black outline on the other side. I agree that the USCe loss is inexplicable. We need to tweak the color of the orange helmet, use a different logo(s) and wear an improved version while monkeystomping their azz into oblivion in order to get rid of the bad juju on that uniform. Could be beautiful if done right but I think it requires all white or black/white uniforms because the helmet material will never look right paired with orange fabric.Otherwise, we have a perfect amount of great options right now.

Bama's uniforms are terrible. I hate maroon and refuse to accept that their color is crimson. The plain helmets look terrible. They would be better with nothing at all on them but still hideous. I also hate USC's uniforms. Yellow is a terrible color unless it is paired with black or Oregon's green. WVU's use of yellow is also not bad. I don't like ND's uniforms except the green jersey one....that is sweet. UNC, NC State, Wisconsin, Ohio State (painful to admit), UF (more painful), Miami, Texas, TCU, Auburn, Arkansas, Louisville, Michigan State, Marshall and UCF all have uniforms I like. Michigan's would be cool if they didn't have the stupid corn color they call maise.

Nothing compares to our various uniforms but this year's black might be my all-time favorites, barely edging out our traditional orange jersey with white pants. All white stormtrooper with orange Power T near the hips is a close 3rd and then the Condredge era throwbacks.

Keep telling yourself that as Dollander is selected in the first round and Lindsey isn't.

Then ask yourself what happens to a sinker ball when it is thrown too hard.

Probably get a lot of strikeouts…… who cares about the MLB draft….. it’s what they are doing in college…. Dollander was our Friday night starter and was benched due to his struggles… Lindsey came in and saved Friday nights…. He performed better than chase during the regular season….. They both pitched against LSU this year…. Lindsey pitched 3.2 innings 5 hits 1 walk 2 runs 4 so’s….. Dollander pitched 4.2 innings 4 hits 3 walks 2 runs allowed, 1 home run allowed and 3 strikeouts…. The same player hit a homerun off of both pitchers… we need Dollander to come out like the Major League prospect that he is and dominate Monday……
