Dead Period Survival Guide

[VolnJC]

Thankfully the LadyVols making the WCWS gives Vol fans one more week before the dead period sets in until two-a-days start in August.

What are your guys plans for summer?

We are doing the beach thing for a week and I'm going to introduce my 7 year old to some real hiking and camping.

Some Staycation ideas:
Lowes and Home Depot both do biweekly or monthly free kids clinics..great for parents or grandparents
Lowe's Build & Grow next two are Ironman's jet and Captain America's motorcycle!
Free Weekly Workshops & Home Improvement Workshop*at The Home Depot

Drive-in movies: I know there was one in Maryville and another near Midtown in East Tennessee

Drive thru zoos.like Circle G Ranch CIRCLE G RANCH
Minor League Baseball..affordable option with more fun compared to MLB

N.C.A.A. Football. The REAL fantasy football

I'd definitely like to catch a few Smokies games this summer.

 

[photovol]

Music, listen to lot's of music, both old and new, prior to football season and after as well....

 

[HoptownVol]

Watch Red Sox, Nats, and Cubs games until my eyes bleed.

I'm a Reds fan but it ain't gonna be our year..I'd like to see the Cubs win a WS

 

[VolBricks]

I will keep reading Volnation and watching old games posted on Youtube. Other than that it will be the normal summer, jet skiing, beach vacation and lots of cold beer.

Keep writing to the NCAA presenting my case as to why a longer season is good for the student athletes... (well, good for me anyway)

 

[illvol]

I live in Illinois so my off season will consist of a beach vacation (coming up in 17 days!!) and then monitoring VolNation hourly for ANY bit of news I can get on spring/summer workouts and new Nike apparel. It's all I've got being all the way up here. Keep news coming!!!!!!!

We really need a 40 game season, thats what. :rock:

 

[VolnJC]

I also forgot to add binge watching series on PopcornTime and Kodi

 

[jerseydevilvol]

Atlantic City, Delaware Park, and Atlantic City.

 

[UT Hill Man]

There's always the unintentionally funny off-season threads that pop up. In a way, it's almost the best part of VM.

 

[otis72]

i might work on my 6 pack....

 

[Falcons02]

i might work on my 6 pack....

I will be working on a six pack... multiple, actually.

 

[tallyho]

Live 3 miles from beaches near Clearwater FL so can do that everyday...go cycling on trail...swim at pool...go to gym to workout...attend various conferences around Florida for my part-time job...watch Tampa Bay Rays play...go to the Keys to dive...plan to hit mountains sometime this summer...get ready for football season.

Unfortunately (or fortunately . . . depending on how one looks at the situation), I am deployed right now and won't return to the States until the latter part of the football season.

This will keep me occupied / distracted over the next few months. Once the season starts, I'll survive on the updates and discussion on VolNation for my weekly UT "fix." My internet access will be spotty at best, but hopefully good enough to keep me sane.

Stay safe and make it home, that's the most important part.

Atlantic City, Delaware Park, and Atlantic City.

You must really like drugs and hookers

 

[norrislakevol]

Fish, work in the garden, get some relaxing in. Speaking of relaxing, Butch was in my neck of the woods (Norris Lake) yesterday cruising around on his pontoon boat. Not often he gets to relax.

 

[General Jack]

Playing and listening to music. Wrenching on and driving cars.

 

[VolSteve]

Spending the summer slowly getting moved out of Georgia and back to the great state of Tennessee.
