It?s been under construction forever (got delayed 2+ years during Covid). It was standing there unfinished when I went to LV in 2021.

I saw it like that as well.  It looked pretty impressive even then

I have never heard this story either.  wow.  I vaguely remember seeing him run out when I was in the stands.  I wonder if that will be a segment on Gameday?

Would be nice, but... I have 4 young kids now so "me" time isn't really a thing.   

I haven't played golf in years.

I just love Dee Williams' IG site...

The old redneck riviera of Myrtle.   

Noice...any golf on the menu?

I'll be at the beach.   

Whereabouts?  I'm in Satellite Beach for a couple of weeks.  I think I might be at the UF-Vandy game next weekend.  This weekend I guess I will be watching the cocks get clocked on the teevee.   

That didn't hold up well....hope we can start as fast against Junior as we did today, and also not have a shizzlety 3rd quarter.

I was happy to see us look so sharp in the first half.  I think UTSA has some pretty good personnel, but are not deep at all.

We looked crappy in the second half, however.

I was very impressed with that McCown kid.  He was amazing, all things considered.  He could develop into a great QB.

no problem sir

They found the wreckage today, 2 hours away
That raises more questions to me, flew well on it?s own

I read somewhere that some people did see it go by and they thought it was flying inverted and they say they saw the canopy. 

I won't be surprised at all if we get a big lead...I think UTSA is vastly overated, particularly in Neyland

Army went away from the triple option this year for the first time in a long time, and threw the  ball all over UTSA.  I mean...come one.   

The Roadrunners have a lot of folks back from last year, so I would be a little wary of their bad start this year.  I think their QB has been hurt and i don't know his current status.  The Vols certainly have no bidness taking strong mid majors lightly, that is fer sure.  I fully expect another Austin Peay like disappointment.  Especially with the Gator hangover. 

Pretty fizzleing pathetic.  I went to the Swamp for the first time this year fully expecting the Vols to play bad and the Gators to play way over their heads - WHICH HAS HAPPENED PRACTICALLY EVERY fizzleING YEAR THAT I HAVE BEEN WALKING THIS PLANET.  I had so many Gators come up to me before the game expressing doubt about the outcome and I would just say "Where have you been the last 30 YEARS??????

The last time we trounced the Gators was 19 fizzleing 92!  That was the first year of the SECCG.  And of course Majors came back and absolutely shat the bed and fizzleING Florida ends up in the FUCCKING champ game.  UGH.  We have not won handily vs the Gators ever since and have gone 6-25 after that last blowout win.  And hell, one of those 6 wins was a glorified Tie/OT win.  Absolutely fizzleING pathetic.  It doesn't really get any worse - especially when you consider how bad the Gators have been in a lot of those years.  I told Pirate and Bandit after the game I am just done with playing the Gators in September.  fizzleing end that misery now.  If we still play UF in September after the SEC schedule shakeup, I may just opt to cheer for the Princeton Tigers full time.  Enuff of this fizzleing BULLSHIITE.  /RANT OVER  /CURSING OVER

One of my all time fav Vols.  Pisses me off to no end that his teammates let him down so horribly in that SECCG --- too many damn posers and wannabe thugs.  it boils my blood.  Casey's tenure kinda marks the beginning of the end.  And we are only NOW (hopefully) clawing our way out of the wilderness.

The whole team looked to be in a funk - kinda like when we played the cocks last year.....I just chalked it up to the typical Gainesville Syndrome, but maybe this 'chronic' situation had some adverse effect on the team.  The D didn't even look like they wanted to be out there at times.

No problem watching it here

Headed to Hogtown

Aometime this afternon I will drop by O&B/Salt Water's tailgate
Good folk they are

Where is O&Bs tailgate?

I?ll be in sec 324 3rd row from the bottom of the section.  I?ll probably be the only Big Orange fan there.  I?ll PM you and Bandit my cell number.

I hope I can now fit into my white polo.....  I'll be here in the north EZ....

I was rooting for the SEC team in this one. Isn?t Texas an SEC team?

I REALLY hate to complain about the refs in a game like this, but...damn.

They're calling every marginal hold on us and letting outright tackles by them go unflagged.

Don?t get me wrong we played God awful yesterday, but that really was some of the worst officiating I have ever seen. The most inconsistent I have ever seen. I was thinking the same thing-they were tackling our defenders with no flags and we get jonesed with Ticky tack holding calls. The PI disparity was even worse.  It would not surprise me if the screw was paid off by gamblers. And I realize that is a freaking wacky comment, but what else would explain that shizzle?

I think it is pretty obvious that most of the angst originates from Peyton playing with the Colts.  Plus, the Titans are really Nashville, not TN.  That is the reality of it.  Some TN folks just don't like Nashvegas.  UTK is more than just Knoxville, it always has been.  The VOLS own every city and town in TN, clearly.  Being a college FB fan is a whole different world than that of a NFL Fan.  NFL teams can name themselves regionally, but they just are NOT going to automatically get fans regionally. 

The first time I ever cried over a celebrity death was George Jones of all things.  Today was the second.   Getting soft in my old age, I guess

I have DTV Stream, and my CBS affiliate has been dark for months. I haven?t missed it yet, but if it?s not up for that first big SEC game we?re gonna have a problem.

I should be easy to get CBS over the airwaves.  The picture is amazing over the air if you can get a good signal

I will be there!  I'll be sitting with the enemy.  We should try and meet up, although I am not so mobile these days - hostile, but not mobile 

Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but Josh has a good chance to start the first four games for Arizona.  He has always been just almost there in achieving NFL QB success... this may be one of his last chances at being a starter.  He seems to be fairly well respected as a backup.

I am shocked, shocked, shocked to find out Vinnie and BDV are NOT Gator fanboys!!!

When I was 17, '82 was a very good year
It was a very good year to end losing streaks
And beat Bama sound
We'd let loose the hound
On that Tartan Turf green
When I was 17

When I was 21, '86 was a very good year
It was a very good year for Sugar Bowls
We stomped on the Canes
Testeverde was never the same
And he came undone
When I was 21

When I was 33, '98 was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded teams
With a ferocious D
We'd ride winning streaks
All the way with our Tee
When I was 33

But now the days are short, We're in the autumn of our years
And now think of our team as in vintage form
With quick tempo
From the grid to the goal
It becomes very clear
It will be a very good year
