I lick windows all the time. I spray butter flavored Pam on them and lick it off. Wife gets mad cause she has to clean that ish off.

True story: @InVOLuntary invented windows so that he had something to lick that would not try to kill him…

First is was a TRex

Then a Mastadon

Then a Pharoah

Then a Spartan

Then a Centurian

Then s Hun

Then a Viking

It was kinda embarrassing…then lightning stuck sand near him at the beach. The glass it produced didn’t try to kill him and it went from there.

I can't wait until it's instituted..I have wanted a CFB playoff literally my whole football watching life. I have always despised the subjective 🦬💩 way CFB did it, however I do wish they would just make it 16 teams and leave it there.

I know the only reason top 100 kids have basically all piled up in 4-5 places is thanks to the playoff being 4 teams...the coaches at those schools have always been able to say "If you want to play for a NC you better come here because you will get left out at _____"

People are so accustomed to see coaches act like generals, treating their players as soldiers. That stuff is so gone.

It's a new day as Heup and Danny have been saying since they arrived.

Heup has been there. This is not new to him. He won a natty as a player and identifies with players. He had success as an assistant and HC before arrival.

The best defense is a great offense principle now applies in college football. Score the ball early and often. Never take your foot off the gas until you are so far ahead it is impossible.

The old guard will continue to try to change the rules and own the officials to slow or stop us. The fans and the huge money to be made will not let them.

For all the hand wringing by traditionalists that our O scheme wears out our own D - what does a system that provides more D players the opportunity to actually play in games do for roster morale and recruiting? Want to venture a guess? It's not hard. If I accept a scholarship offer to Tennessee as a defensive player, enroll, and practice hard with the team - I GET TO PLAY. It's that simple. I don't have to sit behind the starter and wait my turn to hopefully, someday, get a chance to play in games. If I do what I am supposed to do I will get a good shot to play in the big rotation of players in games as a freshman. Heck, if I am a walk-on I will probably get to play some as well.

The D will end up being what wins games as they get better at getting off the field without giving up long drives/points and deliver more possessions to the O.

Heup knows all of that and more. Knowledge frees you up to live well. That is infectious.

We are in the best of hands.

Kiper has Hyatt at 13 overall in his updated big board. #2 WR.

Hooker is #5 QB, Darnell Wright is #10 tackle, Tillman is #6 WR. Byron Young is #10 OLB. Carvin is #10 OG.

Every team gets multiple shots at a franchise cornerstone at RT if that projection holds…it won’t. Wright will work with the OL guru in Frisco (same as Trey) before the Combine and dominate the Underwear Olympics. Paired with the clinic he’s put on the field, I’d be mildly surprised if he doesn’t go first day…shocked if not second. Different position, but errybody got their digs in on Belichick “reaching” for Cole Strange in the first round. Nary an additional giggle for the next decade.

I think playing defense on a team like this has actually gotta be pretty fun. You don't have to play tight and worry about making mistakes and getting in a hole because you know the offense is just going to keep scoring regardless. So it frees up the defense mentally to gamble a bit, be a little more aggressive, and not feel like they can't allow a single TD or else it's game over.

This year is different, McGill. This ain’t a Pruitt and Guarantano led Tennessee. This also ain’t last years Tennessee team. We not only have the best offense in America but we have a good defense that is improving every week. We can win this game.

I have never said we can't win this game...we definitely can...they are not light years ahead of us...not this year.

But it will be a really tough out, they are extremely talented and deep, so I think they have the slight edge being at home.

I don't think the band is changing pre-game. Fight Vols, Fight is played as they form the T, and then the T is opened to Down the Field, UT's official fight song.

We should not change anything the band does, but I think it could be sick to play the intro to haunted Rocky Top immediately prior to kickoff (i.e. while kicker is setting the ball).
