101  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: CBS to debut "Johnny Cam" on Saturday on: September 11, 2013, 07:46:07 EDT
One camera will constantly be trained on Manziel, even when he's on the sideline.  But will it also follow him to the hospital after bammer knocks him the fizzle out?

JM is a punkass youngster that needs a good ass kickin. And I hope he gets it on October 19th.  But not even the assholiness of JM can make me pull for bammer. War Damn Aggies!

Thoughts?   

I think you guys should get back to a policy of WWFDT for every opponent. And for the record, I hope you guys do FDT.
103  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Very interesting in-depth read on how Leach was fired from TTU on: September 10, 2013, 08:37:14 EDT
You may be thinking of the lack of action against Cam and the joke sanction of Manziel.  I attribute that to not having proof of something involving only one player vs. widespread activities in the cases cited above.  I also suspect, though I hope I am wrong, that the NCAA was looking at $$$$ from the ratings Cam and Manziel bring.   But I am going to not be that cynical and say they were both isolated cases at the respective universities of Auburn and Tamu and the NCAA could not prove anything.

I think they rely more heavily on facts and proof. There was none with Cam; none whatsoever. Just some guy talking about things that even he had no proof of (you hear that, Travis, you douchbag?).  Even with the supposed HBO show that had former Auburn players claiming payments, there was nothing that came of it because there was zero proof. None. I can't say whether or not the OSU stuff is true. But it does not take much to get E$PiN and the media all riled up and showing up on campuses on rumors and disgruntled former players 'spilling the beans'. They will take a story and blow it up waaaaaay out of proportion. I don't think the NCAA wants to start slinging out judgement and fines and bans and other stuff on the word of some shady characters. Now....what was the question?
104  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: So... on: September 09, 2013, 04:00:50 EDT
I hope you guys completely destroy those quackers. They are a fast team, but can be slowed down. And I think you guys have the offense to keep their offense off the field as much as possible. Here's to orange tire marks over their nike sponsored backs.
105  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: A new addition to the vol family.... on: August 27, 2013, 08:59:25 EDT
My wife and I found out today that we are having a girl.  Due in February!  Now I will have one of each.  My son and her will be 2 1/2 years apart...yikes!

Those with daughters...give me your advice!

Congrats, Memphis!  I have three girls: 8, 6 and 4 years old.  They are wonderful now, and I have a feeling will cause some sleepless nights once they all hit those tween/teen years.  But for now, I am just enjoying them as much as possible.  And the observation above about how boys and girls play differently is correct.  Our girls will play quietly alongside each other.  They use toys for their intended purpose.  Boys, as you probably know by now, see all toys as potential weapons that are used to bang and hit with. It is pretty interesting.
106  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Updated on my mother... on: August 16, 2013, 02:40:44 EDT
Mom passed away at 12:35 16 August just 8 days before her 73rd birthday. I would appreciate prayers for my family in this trying time.

You have our family's prayers for you and your family. 
107  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Alright, Breaking Bad fans, make your call on: August 12, 2013, 04:55:31 EDT
That was intense.  I really wasn't expecting a Walt/Hank showdown this soon.

Just 7 more episodes for us to figure out why Walk is buying a gun and getting the Ricin. I think these last 7 shows will all be intense.
108  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Alright, Breaking Bad fans, make your call on: August 12, 2013, 03:14:51 EDT
Final 8 episodes start tonight.  How will Walt die?  Cancer?  Blaze of glory, Tony Montana style?  Or will he even die at all?

Well, I'm entering this thread after having watched the first of the last eight episodes.  That being the case, and after watching what I did on the first episode, I do think Walt dies, and along with him Skyler.  I think they both bite the bullet together. And I don't think the law will have a hand in their deaths. **SPOILER ALERT** It would be interesting to see what Walt does with the Ricin he collected from his now abandoned house.
109  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: The state of Kentucky never looks better on: July 30, 2013, 05:18:22 EDT
Not South Bend, thankfully(?). Fort Wayne. Corn and soybeans in every direction.

Now, see, one sees a boring landscape when they see nothing but crop fields in every direction.  I think that landscape is beautiful.  I love living here in Knoxville, with all its conviences and proximity to the mountains.  But I also love our area in Michigan where we lived. A small town completely surrounded by miles and miles of corn, soybean and other fields.  Driving through there in the Fall with the crisp air and the corn stalks blowing in the breeze was just an awesome site.  To each his own.
110  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: VOL tickets arrived today! on: July 30, 2013, 03:12:09 EDT
You need to learn to ask early.  I recently had the chance to purchase extra Auburn single game tickets.  I bought two for one of my nephews but could have gotten more.  I wish I had known you needed two.   

Yeah....my  bad on that one.  I usually do try to start asking around spring time, but just realized how late in the year it was. We've been busy this summer with traveling and, just recently, our new rescue puppy.  If you happen to run across any tix for that game, keep me in mind.
111  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: VOL tickets arrived today! on: July 29, 2013, 10:13:29 EDT


Awesome!  Got an extra two to the 11/9 Auburn game? 
112  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Niro's Gyros...mmmmm. on: June 06, 2013, 04:13:22 EDT
Good little spot on 17th close to intersection of White. Have lamb on a spit for their gyros, and they are yummy. Just found this place last week and ate there last Friday night. Awesome gyros; can't speak to the rest of the menu items.
113  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: The internet is beginning to creep me out....... on: April 18, 2013, 08:03:09 EDT
I looked at some DVDs on Amazon and a wristwatch on the manufacturer's website and now ads for those very things are showing up not only on Facebook, but also on govolsxtra.com.

I don't like it. No sir, I don't like it at all. 

Big Brother says, Hi. 
114  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Do yourself a favor and watch this video. on: April 18, 2013, 08:02:34 EDT

Scroll down and find the Inky Johnson video. God bless Inky, a true VFL and a real man!     

I heard him speak last Fall at a smaller church here in West Knoxville.  Dude has a great testimony and is blessed with the ability to motivate through his speeches.  Real man, indeed. 
115  Sports / VTTW Message Board / I don't usually do this type of post... on: April 18, 2013, 04:06:32 EDT
...but this is a special day: I have been married, to the same woman, mind you, for 15 years today.  And she still likes me (I think) and puts up with me.  For those that have seen her, you know how far I have outkicked my coverage.  It ain't even close.  It's the most anyone has outkicked their coverage, combined with a miracle and the best magic trick ever.  So, to my wife, Happy Anniversary!  Here's to the next 15 and then some.
116  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Clear the area. I'm gonna puke. on: April 15, 2013, 06:10:14 EDT
If the award is for the 2013 year shouldn't it be given a little later in the year? 

Can't wait until he gets Butchslapped.   

Butchslapped.....LOL funny. You know that's going to catch on with UT fans.
117  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Braves fans... on: April 15, 2013, 06:09:30 EDT
Too bad we can't have a DH.

Dear God, man. Shut yo mouf!  The DH was an invention straight from the pitts of hell.  It is Satan's delight, which is why the AL is the only league allowed in Hades.

Lovely time to have a 4 hour layover there.   
Duck!
119  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Meanwhile, in Auburn... on: April 04, 2013, 05:14:06 EDT
I don't have a dog in the fight, but I wouldn't use the Gator laptop thief and his pimp-wannabe dad as an example of compliance.

Why not? What did we do wrong?  Get a QB that has an #badword# of a Dad?  Oh nos...we must be the only team in the world that has even done that.
120  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Meanwhile, in Auburn... on: April 04, 2013, 03:16:38 EDT

Oh yeah. This is the same hack that continued to publicly accuse and find guilty the Duke lax players, even after they were proven innocent. She does not let facts and truths get in the way of the story she wants to push.  But let's not let her past failures affect the juiciness of this story.  Again, no facts to back this up, just like there were no facts behind the Cam Newton by off.  But that didn't deter people from calling Auburn cheaters. Again, why let facts get in the way?
121  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: The Walking Dead season finale is Sunday night..... on: March 28, 2013, 05:15:22 EDT
Speaking of ratings, I read the other day that "Talking Dead", the discussion show that follows TWD, has been getting bigger ratings than any show on NBC.

Well...that's not really anything to brag about. I am pretty sure there is some local access shows that get higher ratings that most NBC shows.
122  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: My first experience as a road rage victim on: March 28, 2013, 04:37:10 EDT
Not to be that guy, but when the right lane is clear and you are going slower than the guy coming up behind you, you need to be the one to get over rather than expecting him to pass you on the right. This is a big pet peeve of mine.

Werd!
123  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Seeing the brackets,here's My final 4 on: March 18, 2013, 03:19:49 EDT
Louisville
Florida
Notre Dame
Miami

I think Louisville and Miami play for all the marbles and Miami wins it

I think a Big East team will win the tourney this year, whether that is Syracuse (which I think has a good team), Georgetown (which I think can make a run through the tourney) or Louisville (the odds on favorite), I'm not sure.  But that league was so tough this year, I think it will make those teams tough outs throughout the tournament. It would not surprise me to see an all Big East championship game.
124  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: What's your hit list for Vegas? on: March 05, 2013, 09:51:44 EST
Found out today that I'll be in Vegas next month for a I.T. conference.  I've never been, so what are your favorites hotspots (attractions, restaurants, etc.)?

I'll likely stay close to the strip, as my accommodations will be at the MGM Grand and the sessions run all day.  Looking forward to everyone's thoughts.

Visit all the churches there, go jogging in the desert, take a swim at the local Y....those will be your highlights.
125  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Graham to FSU on: February 25, 2013, 10:50:29 EST
I don't think so, but Curtis Luper has been cleared and is now coaching at TCU.

Yep...and I don't think Trooper has anything to worry about.  Luper was the primary focus on that investigation, with Taylor included, but not the key focul point. I think he will be cleared if he is not already.
