Bazooka Joe is the most gifted passer the Vols have ever had.

IF he can put it all together and play up to his potential, this will be a very special year. Likely national champion AND UT's first Heisman winner.

The eighth row gets souvenirs all year long.

I like your version better though.

YES: "Time Enough at Last" with Meredith hahaha
I get a lot of em confused with the old Alfred Hitchcock Presents, but pretty sure I've seen all of em.
I like "Lamb to the Slaughter" where Barbara Bel Geddes wacks her husband (cop) with a frozen leg of lamb and feeds it to the cops investigating to get rid of the murder weapon hahaha

I still say it's almost a badge of honor for Vols boy to get an invite to the Heisman.

I was at the other house last week, and I thought a lot about my dad - my parents owned the house for years and then while checking out a couple of electronic issues I watched "The Horse Soldiers". I know I've mentioned a few times that my dad was retired from the AF and flew fighters - the last being the F-101B. The more unusual thing was that he enlisted in the KS NG as soon as he was 17. It may have been as much to spite my grandfather who was determined he should join the Navy - (that grandfather was on a battleship during WW1 - the other was Army in WW1). Anyway "The Horse Soldiers" was a Civil War Cavalry movie, and the reminder was that when my dad joined the NG, he was in horse mounted cavalry. When WW2 broke out, his unit was nationalized and he was Army until he managed to get transferred to the Army Air Corps as an Aviation Cadet.

Sometimes it's hard to believe how much things have changed in my lifetime - and then to think that less than ten years before I was born we still had horse mounted cavalry. Ironically my maternal grandfather was well past draft age when he joined the Army during WW1; I never knew him, but I know that when cars were relatively new he was driving (and racing) them and was apparently a very competent mechanic ... skills that he thought the Army would need. While looking through old things left to me several years ago, I found a card congratulating him for completing the first Pike's Peak Hill Climb in 1916. I haven't been able to read the car type unfortunately.

For me, there is something both endearing and lonely about your post .

I am glad you shared it.

Like someone else already said " Bazooka Joe could overthrow a government. " lol

How bout 3 HS All Americans (minimum) coming in 24?? When was the last time we had 3 AA in 1 class? Fulmers best class EVER maybe? I like the fact that we also landed a 1st team AA receiver the year after an AA passer in Nico...that should bode well for our current no1 offense in NCAA right?

Its great to be a TENNESSEE VOL!!!

Nico has all the stats and stars, but he seems kind of scrawny for a qb that's going to have to face SEC defenses.
