I know these games were at home but this was how fans were acting all over the country as it was happening.

Barry Bonds is a conceded ass.....

In honor of officially *Give Him* 6! days until it’s Football Time in Tennessee!

There are really no words to adequately describe how much I miss that voice....we went from the elite of the elite to the worst of the worst....and it makes absolutely no sense to me how he has been able to keep this job all these years, and I never will understand how he got it to start with, or kept it.

Before any of you mealy mouthed better-than-you's start...I don't care one iota how great a guy he is...he is absolutely 100% horrible at the job and should never have gotten within 10 miles of the booth at Tennessee.

I will never understand how we got stuck with him...in Bob's own lackluster (yet 1000% appropriate in this case) words..."what a turn of events"

Please please please Mr. Danny White...please push him out the door and get us a Voice of the Vols that we deserve!

August 27, 1982


On this day in 1982, Rickey Henderson, the greatest base stealer of all time, broke the single-season stolen base record. The record belonged to Lou Brock, who stole 118 bases back in 1974. Henderson stole four bags in his record-setting game, collecting his 122nd SB of the season. With a month still left to play, Henderson would finish up the year with 130 SBs, which still stands as the modern MLB record (since 1900). Henderson finished his HOF career with a whopping 1,406 SBs, the most of all-time.

Greatest leadoff hitter in history. Period. End of discussion.

Yes he is.

Too bad his years in New York were all but wasted.

‘85 & ‘86 with the Yankees were better all around years than ‘90 & ‘91 back in Oakland.

He was at his peak combination of Speed & Power in NY. And was still a good defender too.

I know it's Vandy but this is inexcusable. I love the Rainbow Warriors (they've always been a great underdog to cheer for) but they have been terribad at football for a while.

tommy chong knows that offense

When Rickey got a hit or walk everyone knew he was going to steal and there wasn't a damn thing they could do about it!!!

You really want to have your mind blown...think of the absolutely insane amount of and pace of change in this world since 1924.

Jimmy Graham making catches like he did in New Orleans a few years ago....

I have faith Danny White will make this right and still give Bob Kesling a retirement send off.

Anyone have an opening for an IT specialist? This guy will need a job come tomorrow. Worth it though.

In the comments, he said he changed the password to 52-49 as well

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Helps tremendously imo. We don’t need as many.

We needed literally every second to beat Bama last year...just saying.

I've heard from at least a dozen people who've worked with him that Bob is not a great guy.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Would you see it different if your 42 year old son was dating a 27 year old woman? Refuse to meet her?

Either way...I think it 100% depends on the actual people involved. If they are compatible and make each other happy...then go for it.

omilord. just get in the box, lady.

TWSS?

Meh… the band HT shows are usually under 10 minutes, they should still be able to get on and off the field in under 12 minutes… at least id hope so

 

[Jackcrevol]

ill defer to Ed Brantley, Mike Hammond, and RIP Bobby Denton. That is contrary to everything ive ever heard.

They needed more to catch up…also sayin.

Barry Bonds is a conceded ass.....

Looking forward to seeing how much the defense has improved

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Most people I've heard from say Bob is a really good guy...I still don't care...he absolutely sucks at broadcasting football.

It's time for the Orange Monster.
