I’ve done a few and just determined it’s easier to go yo my local bbq shack and let them do it. I like to smoke Boston butts, wings, ribs, chicken,

The brisket is the most challenging meat to master, for sure. But when done right, is by far the best. Took me a few years to get it right.

Titans would be better off taking Hooker at 11 than trading up for Richardson or Levis. Giving away assets for an almost guaranteed bust would make for a short run as GM for Carthon.

 

[MemphisVol3]

That’s just not fair

They still don't have a defense. They'll still compete for tops in their conference though. It will be interesting once they are in the Big 10.

Richardson seemed like he could care less half the time at Florida. From a personality standpoint, he’s no where close to where I’d want my NFL quarterback to be.

In my opinion, now this is just me speaking….

These next 10 years are going to be the best the University of TN has EVER SEEN in its history.

The things going on behind the scenes, is going to be unlike anything WE, as VOLS have ever seen in our history.
The amount of money coming in, the amount of resources that are on board, the amount of just overall positivity within this University is just astounding at the moment.

For what we ALL have endured the last 15 years or so, all I’m going to say is…..

GO BIG ***** ORANGE!!!

Just read this and NGL I got a little too excited for a minute. I shared a similar sentiment not long ago either on this forum or a group chat I’m in with a few past and present VN’ers…. As good as the 90s were, it feels like we’re getting ready to embark on the most successful era in our modern football history.

There’s not a fan base out there more who deserves it more than us, either.

I disagree. It's not just about money, it's a wake-up call to the stodgy old white boys that have been controlling the PGA tour for years. Notice how quickly the PGA tour is changing their rules to try and keep the top golfers they still have?

I don't watch regular tour events anymore because half of the golfers are guys whose names I've never heard of before. Korn Ferry tour players?

Golf is golf. Koepka, Mickelson, and Reed just proved that on Sunday.

why did you have to include racism in your post?

One word for it may be, "gimmick".
Another word for it is, "best offense in the country".

Todays “gimmick”
Is tomorrows revolution.
I remember hearing a story about the old wishbone offense never having a wr. Then one day a team put a guy out in a wr spot. No one covered him and he caught it and scored.

Every NFL team would be better off NOT taking a QB this year in top 15 picks.....Weak Class!

Each QB has huge questions............They all may be good....but I don't see a star. I need a star early in round 1

Young and Stroud are worth top 10 picks and I think HH is 3rd best QB in this class (might be UT bias but he's shown more on the field). Agree that Titans shouldn't take any QB in the first round but absolutely 100% don't take Richardson or Levis. If they are QB desperate I'd take HH.

Well, Koepka showed he can play well for three days, anyway.

I don't dislike the LIV guys, but make no mistake, they took $$$ to run away from competition. Not saying that's a bad thing. Nothing wrong with taking a new job for more money and less pressure. But it is what it is.

On Netflix's series, Koepka himself said that with his current injury problems, he didn't think he could compete on the PGA. Now he's getting healthy and feeling more competitive, and there are all these reports that he's having LIV remorse and wants back on the PGA.

LIV is probably a step above the senior/champions tour. It's full of names people recognize, but you're not there because it's the best golf in the world.

Since I don't keep up with MLB much I'm basically Brad Pitt in the league...Just looking at the numbers for all my moves/lineup changes.

I hate Auburn..That is all.

The Masters
everyone




so... maybe 2 or 3 dud events if you're not a big golf fan? I've watched and thoroughly enjoyed every week. I think the elevated events have improved this year's PGA Tour. There were always guys that sat out for the "smaller" tournaments.


even this week, The RBC Heritage... it used to be a JOKE because it was the week after the Masters. This might be its best field in recent memory (or ever)

I’m a proud owner of season tickets…. Let’s go!!!

 

[utkevdawg1]

Proof that if you invest and put a good product out there, people will pay. And after years of suck, the product is top-notch and still improving!

Go Vols!

 

[butchna]

Member when Titansville on Swain was calling for White to be fired over season ticket sales and Vitello?

 

[utkevdawg1]

This will make it harder to get single game tickets so might have to rely on one you taking an opportune vacation if I can make it over to Knoxville this season.
(I almost said 24-hour bug but I don't wish illness on any of y'all.)

 

[jakez4ut]

so in the last two weeks, my niece and one of our good family friends' oldest daughter, both visited and toured TN.

the friend's daughter is going to TN (she said it lived up to everything i had ever said about it...and more....) and TN moved to the top of my niece's list. my father in law went with her on the visit...he was impressed too. but he isn't enrolling any time soon......

both out of state. both of them loved it. and both have been touring various campuses including places like UNC chapel hil, Alabama, Clemson etc. so i feel pretty good about my overall influence on today's youth. GBO.

if they both wind up going, and one already is, can i count that towards a contribution for tickets or volunteer club membership or something? can they do a referral?
