The first hip check no call was on the first layup for points. Basketball is called so inconsistently I'm never sure what is actually a foul. But it looked to me like Duke started the physicality.

I didn't have the heart. The only way this team can stun me is to win.

My post was the equivalent of a fart joke. [nobody got it].

AI on dope.

Demonstrating my level of interest ... Let me ask... who is playing?

You have Battered Vol Syndrome. I know because I do too.  I don't know how to time our peak, but we missed it last year.

BVS is hard to avoid. Among a wide array of sports it seems the Vols have the same issue with finishing what they start.

...won mvp in Polynesian bowl. I did not actually watch it... It sounds a little like it had modified rules and frankly it sounds like it was a snoozer. 22-17.

For that matter I don't see Ronnie Montrose mentioned very often. (there is kind of a theme in all the names I have mentioned). It goes back to the Winter brothers who were highly influenced by Muddy Waters. It was their versatility that caused them to suffer a musical identity crisis. If Edgar Winter had focused on one crowd instead of jumping between styles they would not have been so underrated. They would have had a lot more material that everyone would have heard. But those guys were musical geniuses. Ruff was one of the best drummers I've ever seen and Dan Hartman went on to produce music also.

Today in the news: David Crosby died.

THIS!

BTW, never understood the love for Clapton as he never stretched the envelope to me
To me he is meh

Yeah... when I thought it was Clapton it is because I was listening to a lot of other people. When I got my own ear I started making my own choices.

In the never-ending debate over greatest guitarist ever, I got Beck.

Best guitarist is so subjective. A lot of people say Jimmie Hendrix... but when Hendrix was asked how it felt to be the best he said he didn't know you better ask Johnnie Winter. A lot of people say Steve Vie (Vai). I use to think it was Eric Clapton (a buddy of Beck). Then I thought it was Peter Frampton. My Favorite is Rick Derringer.

...music has taken a hit this week.

We are famous for our slumps.

Whataburger was in Nashville years ago. Specifically out by Rivergate Mall on the way to Hendersonville coming out of Nashville.

Gallatin Rd. and Trinity Lane. Been there a long time. Opened up a cook out across the street recently.

I will rejoice with those who rejoice, but don't see the appeal. I genuinely prefer even Hardee's, and think they're miles behind Cookout.

Yeah I don't know who the CEO of Hardee's is... but they need to go in a different direction. Here in Nashville they are closing like at 4:00 pm (maybe 5). What kind of a business model is that? It screams ... we don't want your business.

... with a 12 team playoff how many times last nights snoozer will be multiplied. I predict this will be a case of we didn't know how good we had it.

...before someone starts complaining about the success we are having in the portal? I assume we are operating much higher than average?

We went 3-3 today!
Thornton at WR - Speed kills
Norman-Lott at DL - Coach Garner target twice so you know he wil be good
and Campbell at OL - the OT we needed

If I calculate this right... we might still be in the market for another LB and Safety? Seems like everything else has been addressed. That's if they are comfortable with the QB situation. If we can get the same performance consistently I'm a huge Milton fan.

I just saw a video done by a guy in sports medicine who said this is probably something called commotio cordis.

Sorry. I loved the guy in Gladiator.

That’s an explanation of what may have happened.

Link  is no longer good.

...passed away. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=russel+crowe googled it and it doesn't seem to have hit the wires yet.

...the video replay on YouTube? The only thing I have found is the uncle Lou junk. Can't stand the guy.

No. You pat him on the back but you don't shut out the guys who you couldn't have played anyway. Glad he played well... now do it consistently.
