I went to a catholic school in kindergarten and I remember the nun/teacher standing behind me and thumping my head repeatedly because "your words aren't spaced far enough apart". I wonder how that would fly in this day and age?

I've read some of your posts. Maybe she should have thumped you a little less.

Bringing the GF to Nashville this weekend. Anyone know of any great places to eat in the Nashville area? Don't really trust yelp.

404 Kitchen is the best meal Ive ever had living here. Very expensive though in the Gulch area.
Cant go wrong with Martin's or Edley's BBQ, a staple of the bbq scene here.
If youre jonesing for some Mexican we're really enjoying La Hacienda & Los Arcos lately, in the Woodbine/Zoo district.
I've also been diggin' Flipside, Elliston's Soda, Double Dogs (not Nashville specific but a great sports bar) and my alltime favorite place to go when Im the opposite of sober, Five Points Pizza

Pearl Diver is a cool local bar. I'd avoid Broadway unless drunken masses are your thing.

Restaurants:
5th and Taylor
Butcher and the Bee
Butchertown Hall
Hattie Bs (Midtown only, it's worth the wait)
Fin & Pearl
Martin's BBQ on 4th
Brothers Burger Joint
Arnold's on 8th if you are here for lunch on Friday or Monday (best meat and 3 in America)
Rosepeppers
Union Common in Midtown has a great happy hour
Hopsmith for bar food

That's a beginners list

Some of my favorites if looking for nice spots and willing to splurge some:

Lockeland Table
Folk
Adeles
Virago
Patterson House (cocktails and small bites)
Butchertown Hall
City House.

404 is great. LA Jackson's rooftop is great during the afternoon. Sambucca is okay too. The Gulch has fallen off a bit as far as quality restaurants (I live up on Demonbreun Hill).
Midtown has some quality for a decent price, The Stiller, The Row, Nada, Ainsworth, Mellow Mushroom, Hopsmith (tend to end up there), Tavern, etc. And it's all within a few blocks of each other. East Nasty tends to be too spread out, Inglewood is a drive and surrounded by sketch

Agreed. Midtown area has taken over the Gulch in quality restaurants IMO.

Nashville is turning into a city on par with the best cities in the nation for great restaurants. Take her to The Gulch and walk around about 2-4 in the afternoon. If you find a place that looks good, try it. You can't go wrong.

Matt Jones has no objectivity or credibility at all. He thinks UT is going to decline from a 5-7 season, despite better conditioning, a year of player development and a more talented roster? He just creates controversy to get attention, and his #1 target is usually UT fans. What a wipe.
Click to expand...
Exactly. And then he acts surprised that Tennessee fans care what he has to say.

.633 - Mark Banks (5 years)
.622 - Bowden Wyatt (8 years)
.723 - Battle (7 years)
.829 - Neyland (21 years)
.557 - Butch (5 years)
.645 - Majors (16 years)
.738 - Dickey (6 years)
.743 - Fulmer (17 years)

Barnhill has the best win percentage it appears with .846, but only coached 4 seasons. I actually asked, because I think (as a coach) Majors is a tad overrated...wanted so see where he stacked up. It's pretty obvious that Neyland is the greatest UT football coach, but I think it's hard to argue against Fulmer as #2.


6 Claimed National Titles in school history - 4 for Neyland, 1 for Dickey, 1 for Fulmer
16 Conference titles (13 SEC, 2 Southern, 1 SIAA) - 7 for Neyland, 3 for Majors, 2 for Fulmer, 2 for Dickey, 1 for Wyatt, 1 for Clevenger
SEC East Division Championships - 6 all for Fulmer
Click to expand...
Agreed, but Majors was also much better from about '83 on. (not better than Fulmer, just better than he had been)

To be honest, it's not a problem in the society either. Trying to call out the kids as "fickle" or "soft" because they chose to change their mind is stupid.

Anyone to blame it's the NCAA. You throw out a 2nd signing period before the season is even over you're going to have more decommitments. And it's not likely to change, you're also going to see the transfer portal get more traffic I think. Sign with school who then fires it's staff and you're the bad guy wanting to transfer when the new staff comes in with an entirely different scheme?

I honestly hate the early signing period, legit see no reason for it.

I think the issue is the players' perception of what "commitment" means. It does not mean "I am going to your school." It means, "you are my current leader."
