Then they came to Knoxville later and had to put a net/screen behind the set so our fans wouldn't throw stuff at them. They've used one ever since.

A few years after they came to Knoxville again and got heckled, they did a commercial where Fowler or Corso gets on an elevator at the ESPN office and a Tennessee fan is in there dressed like a hillbilly with a pig. It was as insulting as one of their typically lighthearted commercials could be.



Buncha 🐎🍆 as McGill would say

When you take into account all the gruesome murders he orchestrated throughout the show, it does seem pretty psychopathic.

Yeah...but you don't know it is that person until the end, and the person just seems like a whiny little entitled brat the whole season. ..that is my point.

Great American Inventors

*Henrietta Lacks-The HPV vaccine was developed using Henrietta Lacks’s cells...the cell line has been crucial to the development of the polio vaccine and drugs for HIV/AIDS, haemophilia, leukaemia, and Parkinson’s disease

*George Crum-was working as a chef at a resort in New York. A customer sent his dish of french fries back to the kitchen, claiming that they weren’t good. In an irritated fit, Crum cut the potatoes as thinly as possible, fried them until they were burnt crisps, and threw a generous handful of salt on top. Thus, the chip was born.

*Charles Richard Drew blood bank

*Garrett Morgan-developed what he called the safety hood after noticing how many firefighters were killed by smoke on the job. The hood, which went over the head, featured tubes connected to wet sponges that filtered out smoke and provided fresh oxygen.

*Mary Van Brittan Brown-devised an early security unit for her own home. She and her husband took out a patent for the system in the same year, and they were awarded the patent three years later, in 1969. Home security systems commonly used today took various elements from her design.

*Garrett Morgan- Three-Light Traffic Light

*Alexander Miles-took out a patent in 1887 for a mechanism that automatically opens and closes elevator shaft doors. His designs are largely reflected in elevators used today.

*Mark Dean-for co-inventing the color monitor. Without his invention, we’d still be typing in a colorless interweb

*Mary Davidson-invented both the tissue holder

*Richard Spikes created the automatic gear shift, helping people drive up hills everywhere

*George T. Sampson-created the clothes dryer in 1892.

*Lewis Latimer-invention, the carbon filament for an incandescent lightbulb that made electricity affordable and efficient for households

*David Crosthwait Jr./Alice H. Parker-innovated the technology we use to keep us warm and cool in the winter and summer months.

*Lloyd P. Ray-dust pan

*John Purdy-created the folding chair, which is used in picnics and school graduations everywhere.

*Dr. George Grant-golf tees @peaygolf

*Alfred L. Cralle invented the ice cream scooper, allowing kids to have larger scoops than spoonfuls

*Joseph A. Smith-lawn sprinkler

*Thomas Elkins-for your porcelain throne. Without Elkins, your bathroom breaks certainly wouldn’t be as comfortable

*etc...etc...stuff we use everyday 😃

"A story as old as time"

But I think @nicksjuzunk and @bignewt are wrong this year. This time it's different!

In all seriousness, I really am getting 2016 vibes. That was the one year I EVER came close to attending a UF game. Like, really close. Thought it was finally our turn. And I'm getting those vibes again.

So I guess NIL is coming to high school sports too soon. It is already being discussed here in Florida and if Florida approves this, I'm sure will spread to other states. This just blows my mind that boosters or local businesses might be paying high school kids 15-18 yrs old too next and some of these kids will be making more money possibly then their parents in the hundreds of thousands before they even hit 18 yrs old!
