I am coming up my 12 year Volnation anniversary. I had read through some articles and a few threads before, but I really jumped in on that cold January night in 2010. Chaos was waving through Knoxville and there were reports of mattresses on fire on the Tennessee campus. Lane left. I was so sad and angry but also inspired by the fans. I wasnt in Knoxville, but i did set my Lane train t-shirt on fire in solidarity. That coaching search was so rushed and panicked but it was also an impossible situation. There was no time at all. Makes me mad at Lane again just thinking about it.
I was also really intrigued with what we were going to do next. Our recruiting class was falling apart. How were we gonna build this back? We were so close to being back on top and then we were immediately at the bottom lower than before. That was difficult to admit at the time for me. But Volnation and specifically this thread when i eventually found it, tucked away in what felt like a secret corner of the site, kept me hanging on. Kept my eyes looking forward. The folks in here spoke with wisdom and optimism. Thats how i wanted to be too. Reminded me of conversations with my Dad.
I've written a bunch of stuff and have come and gone many times over the years. Sometimes i have to step away for a couple months when the baseball talk gets too thick. But i appreciate this little thread and all of you. Its comforting to know you're always in here trying to figure out how the Vols are gonna get better.
Go big orange forever
You'd be hard pressed to find anyone that hates Bama more than me. My record here shows it; shows that I've always tried to advise our younger generations that it's not Florida, it's not UGA...it's Bama. I've said a few times, hating/chasing/competing/beating and losing to Bama made us a top 10 program...chasing UF and UGA got us the last 20 years.
The thought of Bama winning another SEC Championship makes me feel like I have a raging hangover in a bus station bathroom, it's makes me sick. Their fanbase is the worst and always has been, from the bandwagons to the old timers.
With that said, I hope they skull drag UGA tomorrow, I do.
UGA fans after they beat Bama, especially if it's going away...no f@%king thank you! When is the last time we saw a Bammer on this board that gets out of line? Now think about all the dog scumbags that show up here, and WILL show up here. No way. I'll get banned, I will. Think about the dogs that will show up here, and how they will be. Efffffff that! And, I don't even want to imagine how they will be if they manage to pull off the National Championship. Frank will be throwing them out of this place in droves, along with a few of us, probably. I can't stand those dirt bags...at least I respect Bama's bullsh!t. ANYTHING to keep UGA right where they've been for 40 years, I'm ALL for.
What an awkward position to be inWho's recruiting and what are they saying to kids? Diaz?
"Come join us, I might even be your coach.
But we're all hoping for someone better.. except me of course"?
What an awkward position to be inI mean if I am Diaz I’m not even recruiting. I’m finding another job. Screw being somewhere they don’t want you. I’d demand all my buyout as well, for them searching for another coach while I’m still the Head Coach.
They will have to implode under pressure..if Bama could hit a couple of big plays early, they will probably win.
Yeah @utvols88 is pretty clueless! All he knows is a little soccer and who even gives 2 cents about that!Lucky you. I am just in a group chat with some guys that don’t have a clue.
I need to consider Starlink. We can’t get internet where we live for some stupid reason. We don’t live out in the sticks either. 1.5 miles away where they are building new homes like crazy, they are running fiber optic to those homes, yet we can’t get anything! It’s frustrating.They'll never run fiber to me. Starlink is about 150mbs which will be good for me. Way better than Hughesnet. Also it's portable so I can take it with me.
Y'all need to culture yourselves.Yeah @utvols88 is pretty clueless! All he knows is a little soccer and who even gives 2 cents about that!
Yeah most cable companies won’t run fiber optics unless there are enough customers willing to get cable and even then a lot of times the require y’all pay for all installation it’s so dumb.I need to consider Starlink.

Similar for me. Cable is about 1 mile down the road. We're stuck with DSL which sucks. Anxiously awaiting Starlink.I need to consider Starlink.
