[Freak]

Is anyone else having problems logging in to Volnation using FireFox? I have no problems on my mobile devices but have been getting the spinning circle of death on my MacBook....

I've not had any issues with Firefox. You might try he old reliable: clearing your temp files. Let me know.

Anyway... does anyone else think this year we may have a better chance at getting to ATL than next year? I do.

Going to be going to St. Augustine next week for vacation......where are some good places to eat around that area?

O'Steens

Look it up. My family goes to St Augustine every year for a week. And in that one week they hit up O'Steens 3-4 times. Supposedly they have the best fried shrimp in the history of ever. I don't really eat seafood, so I just go with the family the first time while there and not all the return ones. Ha. But their other food including their sides are really good. But if you go, do the fried shrimp if you like seafood. I think they're closed on Mondays. And if you go, get there around 10:30-10:45. They open at 11. But there is always a line outside the door. It's one of those places.

Other than O'Steens, I really like Mango Mangos.
And I really like the pizza at Verazzanos. But their service can be a little poor.
Oh! And in Old Town, the restaurant called Pizza Alley. Very good italian food.

I had this at Cafe Solo on Aviles street. It's Brazilian/Italian food which = win for your tastebuds.Tons of good restaurants on that street. Also, hit up the Columbia and get their famous pre dinner salad (1905 salad) and mojitos.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Hit Meehan's (I had bangers and mashed) and Harry's also. Both are fun and a good time. Sit outside at Harry's and tell your wife the upstairs ladies room is haunted.

Do the following tours:

1 historic
2 haunted
3 pub crawl

All are good and relate to one another. You'll have a blast and I'm jealous.

Already posted a reply. But in regards to O'Steen's, pull up their Yelp page and scroll through their reviews and see how many people are saying it's the "best fried shrimp I've ever had". Or "best fried shrimp ever". Etc...

Just make sure you get there a little before 11 like I said or you could have a long wait. Have a good trip my friend.

Sidenote: No I don't work for nor have any family or friends that work for O'Steen's. So I am not just putting in a shameless plug for them. I just know that A) my family loves ("loves" is probably not strong enough of a word) this place... And B) it is a hole in the wall/family owned type restaurant. And I like to see them do well. Even though "they didn't build that" (sarcasm)

 

[Catbone]

Why is that?

Personally I feel next years UGA, Florida, and Tamu will be harder

So you're assuming we stay the same. Gotcha.

Expectations keep climbing.

It is nice to see us with better odds than Arky, although that probably has more to do with the division they're in rather than Vegas thinking we're better.

Guess we'll just have to destroy the hogs up on the Hill before they accept it.

Not sure yet. I need to see us play against UGA, OU, Arky, etc. Before I make up my mind on how Butch is on in game coaching.

The 2014 class will carry us to some big wins in 2016. Junior Hurd, Barnett, Kelly, Wolf, Malone, Moseley, Medley, Gaulden, Bates, etc.

Plus, we'll still have good senior leadership in Dobbs/JRM and the young guys from 2015 like KMack, Tuttle, Williams, Richmond, and Kirkland Jr. will be 100% SEC ready by then.

Going to be a fun year. 2017 has a chance to be absolutely ridiculous if we don't lose too many guys to the draft from the 2014 class. We stand a good chance of having the most combined starts in the SEC that year, and that's a huge factor when it comes to predicting wins.

 

[engineerVOL]

Arkansas will be a slugfest. Hope we have some left in the tank. But if we can jump out to a 7-10 point lead and matriculate the spheroid down the field then maybe we can keep the defense fresh.

I take it you are referring to the pointed spheroid?

Exciting times for sure. These last two classes have been sick. This year will tell us a LOT about what the future holds.

If ut can jump out to an early lead its gonna be interesting to see if arky tries to start passing the ball to keep up....IMO ut needs a fast start against them and hopefully arky can't keep up

 

[Wickman]

Highly debatable

A. If the media was discussing them like they're discussing us (as in the same fashion), then they would be a good team that we should beat on here, not the battle for our lives

B. We are absolutely more talented than them.

Arkansas is the 5th most difficult team we will face this year. Everyone is nervous because they're old school, run down your throat. The game is in Neyland and our dline will be in mid season form. It will look like UK last year.

Insert illogical comment:

C. They're a bunch of poons disguised as pigs

Rankings wise, this seems to be uts easiest schedule in awhile
