1997 me would’ve been blown away
I honestly thought this happened months ago :lol:. Guess it's official now.
Saw Muse at a club show Nashville with a 500 person capacity in 2004. Technically, they were already big in Europe but not as much in the US. Year later they were basically headlining arenas over here. Awesome, awesome show back when their music was still rock (Absolution Tour, I think).
The next Anthony Richardson or Will Levis. Levis singlehandedly made me not like the Titans once they drafted him. Not saying I was super fan or anything but haven't watched a game since.

Milroe has the same choke job mentality. Any QB that can make Tennessee's defense look like the 85 Bears (like Levis & Milroe) isn't going to cut it in the NFL, let alone a top 5 pick.

At first it did look like bullshite, but the 2nd angle shown did look more like a penalty.

The 2 biggest non-calls were the Delp catch and fumble that was ruled an incompletion & the false start on Beck that they let play on. I've watched a lot of football and you cannot say with a straight face that wasn't a fumble. They didn't even look at in on replay but looked at the 12 men on field. lol

Lot of holding not being called but that's par for course w/ SEC officials.

ESPN's Dinich has already implied that a 10-2 Tennessee is already out of contention for a bracket slot.

They very well be the odd ball left out, but she has no clue what she's talking about. :lol:

If Vandy beats UT, then yeah.
I remember watching Platoon in the theater with my parents. It won best picture in 87 when I was in kindergarten. Needless to say based on my username, it had a lasting effect, lol.

Winner of Alabama/LSU will make it into the playoffs over Tennessee. Late season blowouts like Tennessee will suffer against Georgia will really drop them

If Alabama gets in over Tennessee with an identical record, it’d be the most Vols thing ever. lol
This is got Freeze written all over it.

Watching y'all's game against UK, I'm not sure your defense is much better than ours.

You talking about Kentucky last year or Kent St? Last years defense is no where close to this years. Secondary is better and got our starting middle linebacker back from an injury he suffered on the 1st drive of the year last year. Looking back now, that was a huge loss. On top of that, the defensive line has much more quality depth.
Tennessee’s defense will surprise some folks if inexperienced DB’s come around. Defense line is as good as it’s been in 20+ years. Depth is not the issue there or the Oline. QB, RB, LB, and DB is where the depth (inexperience) comes into play. No major injuries there and very well could be a playoff team.

You obviously are not reading the UTK boards. This isn't true. That Tennessee kid that committed to us today? They didn't have room for him. We're way behind here.

In all fairness, we haven’t recruited the kid from Rockvale for a while. Probably told is to frick off and we looked elsewhere. The kid that’s about to flip dropped to a 3 star on On3 once it was public knowledge he is flipping. Funny how that works ??
3.5 miles south of downtown is Spa Haus. My wife loves the place and google reviews are very good.

Tennessee -11 vs. Florida
Florida. Easy money
Self title record always gets overlooked but is a personal favorite. Bloody Cape, Hexagram, and Minerva are 3 of my top 5 Deftones songs.
Could have tried to cross the Woodland St bridge heading east and fell over the railing. Might have seen the stadium and either wanted to get a closer look or get there to be by a major landmark that would be hard to miss if he was calling people to pick him up that would be unfamiliar with downtown.

What year was it that we were up by 25 at half time, over Tennessee, in Tiger Stadium, and wound up losing? SMH
2005. Game was postponed to a Monday night due to Hurricane Rita. Vols scored 24 unanswered in the final 15 minutes and I was not unhappy.

Fast forward to 2009 TSIO Rocky Flop game. I sat, motionless, in silence for what seemed like 2 hours after the game. Lived with a Bama fan at the time and knew once I got home I was going to hear it which made my anger worse.
