Yep. I thought that fumble recovery called for Coastal was a little iffy at best. Cost App St the game. He looked out of bounds to me.

I thought so too. I thought he had a foot out of bounds before gaining control. It was close. If they called him out instead, I don't think replay would've overturned that either.

His dad would have never lasted at Virginia Tech in the modern era. Went 2-8 in Year 6 and had a losing career record at the time.

I do sometimes wonder what would happen if more programs stuck by their man.

Same as what Mark Stoops did to his players. There’s a point that coaches that get payed millions (and waltzes into a program without the players really knowing them) and knowing when to shove a pizza in their mouth when they have a microphone in front of their mouth.

For some reason it didn't post my text...??

I said, whenever I think about it now and for the remainder of my days, whenever I think about who saved our program, Hendon Hooker stands side by side with Heupel. The awesome run we've already embarked upon, and the wonderful place it is going, #5 will always be the cornerstone of it.

If you are gonna put Hooker that high then unfortunately you have to put Pruitt up there. He was the one who got Hooker.

Little know fact:

The University of Tennessee played some pretty damn good interscholastic football in the decades preceeding 1997

Decade after has been admittedly our 'dark mode' and not in a we wear cool jerseys way

But happy days are here again

Respect your elders. Now I am going to go shout at a cloud

Where would the program and Shane be without Spencer Rattler the last 2 years? It’s going to come crashing down the next year and a half. I can’t imagine him being the coach there in 2025.

please Please PLEASE! let him still be the coach there in 2025

Santa, one more fluke win over Clemson. It is all I am asking for Christmas. Vols cannot have BOTH FL and SC offering early playing time

Okay, so I'm a bit older but when I was a kid in the 70s my mom used to sometimes drop me off at the public library in our podunk town when she'd go do her Saturday shopping.

When I was about 10, there was a stretch of time when I'd go straight to the magazines and find that same issue of Sports Illustrated that had that full-length photo of Dorothy Hamill on the medal stand in the '76 Olympics. I'd just sit there all transfixed and smitten for the longest time, with no idea what was what but holy damnation she rocked my clueless and innocent little world.

I want to know what hellspawn/demon I pissed off and challenge him/her outright so as to get it all over with. What happened tonight is simply unbelievable.... Y'all know I game to keep my sanity (and bc it's often a ton of fun) and so I was gaming and trying to relax from the grind of things (I had to deal with 10 plus pages of extra disability questions earlier that made me want to pull my hair out) plus trying to figure out what's going on with my mother's car). Everything was going fine and I was even getting in some precious 'me' time which is the rarest thing in the world for me when all of sudden we're at the final boss of a raid and doing great - looks like our little pickup group is gonna clear when - splat, swoosh, splat, splat, squish, swoosh. I'm covered in vomit from head to toe.

In fact, there's so much vomit that it fries the one thing I can't afford to replace .I saved up 2 years to get that gaming laptop and post-fire it's one of the very few possessions I have. It was completely impersonal -- just the other half getting sick and yet it felt and still feels so deeply personal because it destroyed the one thing that I had that was just as good as anybody else's. I suppose another way to put it is that it was one of the few things I have that I had some pride in -- my lifeline as well as my escape.

I know this was just random and no one's fault but it feels so personal because so many little things had to happen for the circumstances to be right for it to happen in the first place. I mean how on Earth does this even happen? How unlucky can one person be? What the hell did I do to bring this down on me? The other half had his Linda Blair moment and seems fine now but I feel like I've been cursed. IDK, what do you do when you feel like the world is out to get you?
