We have 0 depth now.

No doubt. But did we expect to have a lot of depth? This is par for the course with every coaching transition. It will be a long, hard slog back to relevance.

But take joy in knowing that these are our Tennessee Vols and we can choose to have fun watching them struggle along that journey! My motto is enjoy them for what they are rather than bemoan them for what they are not!

I was talking per capita. Very few guns here. Most murders committed with knives.
USA #55 Australia #141.
Countries ranked by Intentional homicides (per 100,000 people)
I live in Australia temporarily. Some things I like better than the USA but some things I don’t.
the word “greatest” to me is relative. Depends upon your priorities. People here are very nice and they don’t tease my “accent” too much.

I am very jealous. I wish I could live abroad again, but those days are over.... And Australia would definitely be on my list. But their government also confiscated their weapons years ago. Of course crime should go down. Here in the US, the only reason we are not under British rule is because of the citizens rights to bear arms. Also, why no one ever tries to invade us and hasn’t in a very long time. It keeps the government in check too. I agree that not everything about the US is perfect or anything, but it is the land of the free and anyone can make anything of themselves with hard work. I am living proof. There is a reason why a million people become US citizens every year and people risk their lives to come here.

Have thought of visiting Australia but wonder if it is too much like home, like going halfway around the world to visit California or Canada. I know it will be different, but wonder if it's worth the time/money when I could go to other places more unique to home.

Fwiw I'm a complete noob traveler, only been to Greece and the islands.

Would love to visit Japan, all the Scandinavian countries...China...Peru...Argentina...Pacific Islands...UAE...Spain...France...Italy...Cuba...Egypt...Morrocco...Lebanon...Thailand...maybe even Alabama one day if we're going 3rd world countries.

I lived in a 3rd world country for 2 years. The citizens there were happy with what we would consider below poverty level living, often no inside plumbing at all. It was a tropical zone.

Truly taught me that stuff isn’t needed for happiness.

Also taught me to be very thankful for all that the USA represents. I am much more patriotic than when I left the USA.

Happy Easter to all of VN!

OV was definitely right. All sorts of rumors on the trail about how much this kid hated kittens. Pruitt ignored the signs.

gonna wait for all the facts. truth is, there's all kindsa research out there that supports bad stuff for those who feel ok torturing animals. ill let you look it up.

If true, gotta part ways. If not, shame on anyone putting these kinds of rumors out there.
