Only you're not disagreeing. You're telling me not to post my opinion. If you want to disagree, fine, make your argument. I'm good with reading any argument you want to present. But all you've done so far is the equivalent of a "shut up".

“I played in Neyland Stadium the year after they won a national championship. I promise you, they always do the little jet engine or whatever to (measure) the decibels, it’s the loudest stadium I’ve ever heard in my life. And it ain’t close.”

“Neyland Stadium, oh man. I put this one up there next to LSU as far as just cathedral-like, history, tradition. You can’t walk into this place and not start thinking about different eras and different players. Reggie White and Carl Pickens and Tee Martin and Peyton Manning and Jamal Lewis and Al Wilson. You see the pictures of the guys up top, General Neyland. And you get those squares with the ‘V’, the ‘O’, the ‘L’ and the ’S’ that are lit up, like an old Phillips 76 sign or something. Like a 1950s gas station, but it’s awesome.”

“Obviously the big bowl, when you look up there it feels like it never stops. When you’re in those stands, and you step out in the aisle to walk down, especially if you’re up a little higher, you feel like if you tripped and stumbled, you would end up on the field. And there actually is a little bit of distance behind the middle of the benches, so it’s not necessarily on you as some other places. But God almighty does it get loud. We played Tennessee tough in ’98 at home, the win the national championship. We go there in ’99, Ben Laird is hurt, Jeff Kline — God rest his soul, I love you Jeff, rest easy my friend — turns and throws and uncovered check the first play of the game. Deon Grant intercepts it, takes it back. And that right there, folks, that moment, is the loudest I have ever heard any stadium in my entire life. I remember Ben Laird was standing next to me, because we were both hurt for that game. I turned over and I was like, ‘Man, that’s loud.’ And he didn’t even (acknowledge me), he was looking up. And I said, ‘MAN, THAT’S LOUD.’ Like I’m yelling at him as loud as I can, he can’t hear me. Just nothing. That is a volume that is intimidating because it gets to the point where it cuts off your communication. It legitimately does. And when that happens, that becomes a real problem. And when people face problems, people start to panic. Therefor, that’s allowing intimidation to set in and affect you as a player, as a team, as a unit, as a side of the football. It just is. Smokey is running around, he barks after every time the fans starts going nuts. That’s incredible. Then you have the actual mascot Smokey that is running around. The checkered end zones, that’s tough to beat, man.”

This is sad. Chicago isn’t safe for human habitation.

Wrong. The bad gang areas are way south and southwest. A long way from what actual Chicago is. You would have to get on the wrong subway going in the wrong direction for 20-30 minutes to be in these horrible areas.

Chicago is an awesome city. My wife used to live there and we hope to eventually have an apartment/condo there. She lived about half a mile south of Wrigley Field. It’s actually a very liveable city and not near as expensive as you would think. I have probably been there about 25 times. It’s awesome. So much to see and do. Best Food City in America after New Orleans.

We've got the kind of offense I've wanted to see at UT since Mike Leach, then Oregon, were lighting people up with it. "It won't work in the SEC" is all I heard. . . I hope we dump 50+ on everyone.

Same here!!
You would see QBs- WRs -RBs you had never heard of throwing dimes or running all the field. Dropping 50+ points almost ever Saturday and the same old “that want work in big boy football”🤬😂🧡
