I could also use prayers at the moment. Minor (somewhat) chainsaw injury. Headed to emergency room.

Minor chainsaw injury sounds like mild concussion or light treason. I'm not sure there is such a thing. Prayers sent.

Here's my boldest prediction for the 2015 season:

We will hear this music before a game and actually come away with a win.

Thanks for the prayers. My dad is in the hospital. Thought he had a stroke.

I know it's hard, but that is exactly the instructions Christ left for his followers. Give up today for a greater reward tomorrow. Thanks for posting Nick...

A quote I read recently that I love and that has made me think quite a bit:

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."

- Jim Elliot (killed while trying to evangelize)

Jim Elliot is an inspiration. Was speared to death by the Waoroni indians in Ecuador, paving a way for his wife and others to reach them with the gospel of Christ. Talk about forgiveness.

And IIRC his son went to live the man who killed his father eventually leading him to Jesus and he baptized him.

Prayers for your family brother!

Ok, back to football.

Sounds like everyone is having some bad luck. As some of you may know, my MIL was put on hospice care a couple weeks ago and has about 6 months left. Once up there, I go fishing with my FIL. Dang near cut my finger off when my pocket knife slipped. I come back to work and got a bad case of poison ivy. To make matters worse, 2 days ago I got sick (steroids suppressed my immune system) and caught walking pneumonia. When it rains it pours!

George W Bush's fault

Correct

 

[SergeantVol]

Thanks, George W Bush!

All this happened in the Obama administration so he is to blame!

No major damage. 15 stitches. Could have been much worse.

Best theme song in all of sports.

Can't wait! I wonder if the UF game will be on CBS or if we will have to wait for the Arkansas/Georgia weeks?

 

[Aesius]

Butch is on 3HL right now, calling in from Saugatuck where he's on vacation.

Blaine Bishop: "Butch, is there ever a time when you just relax and don't think about the program?"

Butch: "No."

Speaking of Florida, here is video I found of two gator OL going through their summer blocking drills:

As usual Butch nailed the interview. We fell backwards getting him but I wouldn't trade him for any coach in the country. He was what this program needed at the right time

@WinTheDay: .@Vol_Football What's good, fam? #JustDoIt @usnikefootball

@Vol_Football: .@WinTheDay Happy to be here. #OneTennessee #JustDoIt @usnikefootball

Does anyone know if the "vols" will be above the facemask on the helmet like in the first photo? Thanks in advance.

Agreed. The guy is consumed with getting Tennessee back on top.

I think there are maybe 5 coaches in all of college football who are as consumed with success as him and they all have national championship rings.

 

[Dust10]

I mean you've never made fun of any player huh

Find a post where I have and I'll take it back.

 

[LA Vol]

Butch wants that NC and he thinks his best shot is getting it here, where he has the resources and the support to succeed. He's right. He'll be given whatever he needs, and he's bringing in the players who can make it possible. Winning the SECe this year is the next rung up the ladder... then we'll just keep climbing.
