I've had this switch cover since my sophmore year at UT. Someone left it in the house I rented on Chapman Highway...and I took it when I left...in 1990! I have managed to move it from Knoxville to Jackson Hole to Fort Collins, CO to Lake McConaughy, NE and back to Fort Collins...in 22 years.

Love your bar.
I was there the night before the UT/Michigan bowl game in 2001.

Did some serious beer lifting that night!

Thank you, bro!!!

The first year flat screen plasma tvs came into the electronic market, I went to Circuit City in Fort Collins the Friday before the UT/FL game that year (probably 2001?) and tried to buy a 42" plasma ( the biggest you could get at the time). The salesman said " we don't keep any in stock you'll have to preorder it"

I said,"sorry dude. If I hve to drive to Denver, I'm buying one today because the TN/FL game is tomorrow and I want it now"

So he got his manager and they ended up sellin me their floor model just to keep my voice down.

So I brought it to the bar that night (Friday night) to promote the game...and had a PACKED house that game...it was insane. We were the first bar or restaurant in Ft Collins to use the flat screen...and we have had a great crowd each year since.

This is one of my favorite weeks of the whole year!!!

GBO!!

Is Fort Collins near Denver? I am moving to Denver in 3 weeks. It would be awesome to know that I would always have a place to watch Vols games.

It's an hour north of Denver. We will always have the TN game on each week. It trumps all other games!

Orange Jell-O shots!!!
