It’s a must have for TN Vols Baseball

I don't mind listening to John Wilkerson. He's good. Not a fan of Bob.

Hey, serious question to you snake fellas out here on VN?

Is it true that copperheads smell like cucumber?

Only in the “m” months of March and May. They’re so good at camouflage that their scent changes monthly.
October, they smell like a Big Orange historically. Recently more of a pumpkin…

I am sure that @SoilVol can get you the complete list of copperhead monthly scents.

Apparently Arik Gilbert isn't with Georgia for their game in South Carolina. Georgia fans saying he's going to the portal. Anyone heard anything?

UNLV?

 

[Jackcrevol]

David Pollacks face should be framed, and a clown nose drawn on. Perfect for a good old fashioned punching.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

But I bet you take her to Captain Ds all the time, you filthy animal.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

what if we blow Florida out?

What happens then? Does the world end?

It does for the rest of the SEC.

Then the rest of college football.

15-0

Who called our defense pretty?

Not sure if anyone responded to this but one of their offensive linemen was talking about us in an interview and said that we were one of the prettiest teams they would play. Everybody was confused on whether it was a compliment or if he was trying to talk smack in a strange way. I lean towards him trying to talk smack that we looked good but were mentally weak and didn't play tough. He and the rest of their team damn sure found out, though.

That guy owes Slovis and Patti an apology for pissing us off.

Not sure if you remember but I had to come home with an unwearable shirt after the gator bowl.

Front: Straight outta Knoxville
Back: B**ch I'm a Vol

Shirt doesn't have the asterisks. If I get arrested, I'm joining a gang and shanking someone to stay in there to protect myself.

Watch @nicksjuzunk’s YouTube channel. Interesting videos of how to make an untraceable shank from toilet paper and bar soap.
My favorite is the Origami figure that’s also a shank. Amazing how many ways you can use the cardboard toilet paper tube to stab someone.
It’s really an educational opportunity not to be missed. Really kinda an art form.

Careful

 

[Jackcrevol]

Yea, I equate him to the most punchable face out there. However, you’ve now got me thinking bc Pollack is up there too.

I personally do not like this reasoning. To me it screams that when a Christian says this then he does not have much faith at all. Evolution is the reasoning of the faithless not the faithful. So in reality to take evolution as fact means that one has no faith whatsoever. Not trying to attack just putting my thoughts out there.

But faith in what? That's the point. It's far easier for me to believe in a Creator than "mud to Moses". I'm not sure how my inability to believe in something I view as untrue and implausible has any bearing on my faith as a Christian.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

This isn't scientifically confirmed. I know a couple dozen herpetologists, some that actively research copperheads and catch hundreds a year for tagging and measuring, and they swear they don't. There's a couple that think they kinda do. A lot of other people swear they smell it every time they come across one. Our senses of smell are relative and individual. It could be a situation like the cilantro gene. Some think cilantro tastes great, others think it tastes soapy and terrible. So its feasible some may smell copperhead musk and liken it to cucumbers.

I've always been curious of this and largely disbelieved it. I have only once ever smelled cucumbers while out in the woods. I asked the person I was with if they smelled it and they couldn't, so I thought, "Wow, there might actually be something to this and there might be a snake nearby."

So I investigated. I found that we had stomped through a patch of wild cucurbits and it was coming from those plants and our shoes.

Silly @SoilVol …the coperhead turns off the scent when captured.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Is it just me or do players wearing black pants/cleats look like they're moving faster?

It’s just you.

Like when an overweight person wears black because it’s slimming…

Did Gameday just say the Chattahoochie River is in Boone NC?!

Maybe they meant Chatuge? Chattooga is nearly 4 hours away.

The Nolichucky starts below Mt Mitchell and Sugar Mountain at the Cane and Toe, about the only real raftable water. Watauga is raftable, but, waste of time.

Idk much about them, except that I hate gin. Does anyone like it? (Obviously some people do. . . probably bammer fans)

Gin is a vandyish alcohol…

 

[Orange.]

Wasn't "all orange" or "orange mode" originally called "double orange"? I think "double orange" is still the best term. It was originally for AL games, wasn't it?

If someone likes to chew on pine needles, gin is prolly a good choice for them.

If just sets up.. Even losing to Bama we'd be favored in every game but UGA... And that would still set up rather large games with KY and UGA late in the season.

When's the last time we had meaningful games in November? 2016? Prior to that...2007?

I don't have any misconceptions...Id be shocked if we made it to ATL, I'd be surprised if we beat nana or UGA.

But to get back in that conversation, seriously, in November would be great.

But... First things first. Best Florida. Beat LSU. Then let's see.

You leave my nana alone! She's old and feeble....you can't go beating her. Now my wife's Nana is built like a linebacker and meaner than a bear with a toothache. Hell, she's meaner than Saban in a recruiting battle with no chargers to tip the balance and no Sankey to restrict the other teams in competing. Pretty sure my wife's Nana could whoop my azz.

Y’all think Danny White ever puts in athletic turf in Neyland? I wouldn’t hate it.

Somewhere @SoilVol just got really

Dude, seriously. Real football was meant to be played on real grass.
The Shields-Watkins field is an engineering marvel. The field can handle a foot of rain without any puddles or pooling.

Florida St. Is the Nebraska of the ACC.

No they are not. They have zero excuse/reason for sucking.

You shouldn't be trying to beat Nana. What's she ever done to you

Give me dirt and grass stains..not Goodyear

Well known medical fact. MRSA can live for a long time in that rubber stuff. Can be a very bad infection. Or your body can become colonized with it as your predominant skin flora. Bad juju.
