I think y'all are being biased against those brown and orange unis. I mean if black and gray were in and are in again even knowing that white with orange trim was the first, then black and gray with orange. Then there was brown with orange before orange and white and white and orange, except white and orange were first. I am so confused and need answers to all this. Which ones are traditionalist and which are new age? Is all that is old, new again or is there some qualifier that says it has to meet a specific criteria like pre and post Nike or Adidas or whoever? I don't want to offend anybody by liking or hating the wrong ones.

I might be in the minority here, but I think a throwback to the brown pants would be sweet. I really liked it when Wisconsin did it a few years back, but the red doesn’t work as good as the orange would. Jmo

@VolsDoc81TX I know this is way out of your field but you're the only one I know with knowledge... How does one find out if cancer has spread to the brain? Wouldn't that have shown on imaging a month ago or can it be there and effecting things while being too small too see? I'm asking because we're having a major episode but his amonia levels have been relatively fine (maybe a slight elevation but even when he's had symptoms those before it's been nothing like this). I know hepatic encephalopathy can absolutely work a number (I've seen it and I've seen the delusions from it) but this is different. This is more like schizophrenia than prior episodes.

This was common knowledge I thought. They didn’t want any alternates. However ironically, the black uniform is to their credit.

Black was around and available on campus when Fulmer was coach. I know because I bought a sweet hat and black polar fleece jacket from the campus bookstore. Actually, black was our primary color for like a decade ages ago.

We rolled Mizzou, found ourselves ranked in the top25 and top10 in important statistics, have awesome alt jerseys revealed, get an awesome Volnation dark mode theme, and we're double digit favorites over the cocks. We smoke SCar, how do we keep it rolling into Ole Miss?

One of the best couple weeks to be a Vol fan in a while!

We're gonna lose to south Carolina because this is a simulation that loves to place misery. Am I real? Are you? Idk.

I mean, isn't everyone? As a kid you pick your favorite teams and that's that.

Yup. Pro sports are way different than college.

Grew up watching Rice and Young and loved the niners. Also enjoyed Helton so I became a Rockies fan.

Haven't spent more than a week of my life in those 2 cities combined. Meanwhile there are EPL/La Liga fans all over America.

It's just different.

I saw plenty of people with black hats, black jackets, black shirts with orange lettering. Not to mention the branded black camping chairs, tarps, tents, grills etc etc for tailgating.

When we were Adidas there was the classic black Adidas tracksuit with the three white stripes that was just branded with a small orange power T. Adidas had a ton of black UT apparel.

They weren’t available as uniforms. He and pruitt gave the ok to have them made last year, but covid shortages didn’t allow them to be worn vs Kentucky which was the plan. Good thing too. Would’ve been even more embarrassing to get our ass beat like that in alternates

Personal experience only gets me to weigh in. If it’s metastatic cancer? Most commonly metastatic breast cancer, then it can develop quickly. My late wife’s breast cancer initially (after remission) metastaticized in her lungs and liver. Fought that very effectively with a trial drug for two years. When that lost its effectiveness, it was 3 months when she had her first seizure…no symptoms beforehand. Shouldn’t be an issue getting a scan with what you just described. Good luck and godspeed. It’s even scarier when it intrudes in their mind.

Between jersey and website color palette talk, guess I just don't get it. Maybe being color blind is a blessing.

Now...who has watched some USCjr games? Have 2 questions.

1) how are they forcing so many turnovers? Pressure? Great secondary play? Being thrown gifts?

2) Doty - what does he do well? What does he do poorly?

Hardly know a thing about this USCjr squad, but they seem to have a feisty defense and anemic offense.

I really don't like hearing this but maybe I need to... He had a siezure a few months ago out of the blue and that's when they ran an EEG and did other imaging - nothing came up then. His cancer was supposed to be on his kidney and it was in a really great spot as far as removal goes (kinda hanging off). It was also very slow growing. I don't know what is going on with his liver because his hospice nurse's notes don't match what I was told. I don't want to switch him out of hospice for no reason because he really does need the services it provides and the last time I had to do that they even took away his walker and it took longer than it should have to get him back on service but I also feel like something more than just liver failure is going on. I'm honestly ***** terrified.

ETA: FWIW, his father died of both bone and lung cancer. He had 2 separate types rather than one that had spread. It took him extremely quickly. We found out when his hip just shattered on him one day while he was walking. He said he heard a pop and then just couldn't walk. After that, I was calling and trying to set up appointments for chemo but they wouldn't give him chemo unless he could walk. He was much further along when he was diagnosed but he died before we ever got a chance to take him to his first appointment.

OH is on year 2 since the diagnosis and prior to that seizure his hospice service was talking about graduating him because they felt he was no longer sick enough for them. In fact, they released him to palliative in July of this year (that didn't work out tho due to insurance and he wound up with a different hospice service).
