I have heard that childbirth is the most painful thing anyone can experience.

Not sure that I believe that because I don't remember anything hurting much when I was born.

I am not in any way well off financially...and we travel a lot...but I understand why you couldn't.

I would gladly take you on a trip somewhere if I could...maybe when I retire we could go on a road trip out west somewhere.

On February 25, 1964,

Cassius Clay wins 1st Heavyweight Title

A crowd of 8,300 spectators gathered at the Convention Hall arena in Miami Beach to see if Cassius Clay, who was nicknamed the “Louisville Lip,” could put his money where his mouth was. The (8-1)underdog proved no bragging fraud, and he danced and backpedaled away from Liston’s powerful swings while delivering quick and punishing jabs to Liston’s head.

Liston hurt his shoulder in the first round, injuring some muscles as he swung for and missed his elusive target. By the time he decided to discontinue the bout between the sixth and seventh rounds, he and Clay were about equal in points. A few conjectured that Liston faked the injury and threw the fight, but there was no real evidence, such as a significant change in bidding odds just before the bout, to support this claim.

Hahahaha I remember seeing that and rewinding it multiple times. I wasn't tempted to record and post it as well.

The wonderful context here is it was right after another dunk on them. We were just having fun at that point and could no wrong. The TAMU player's reaction was perfect...as if to say "ok we get it...you cooked us smh..."


Edit: DD4Me'd about 12 hrs ago 😆

Turning on the national radio broadcasts and having them talking about Tennessee and the NCAA junction…. Feels good man. We’re being talked about everywhere. Publicity for days

It's great for recruiting to have some official and publicized pushback. We were getting negative-recruiting badly, which obviously was the NCAA's intention in leaking their accusations. Glad to shove it back in their face. Doubtless our rivals will lie that this is only a delaying tactic and that we will still be destroyed.

It has to be good that we honestly are the team that is standing up for players rights. I hope that means something to the kids we are after. We have many big-time battles against big-time programs underway.

I continue to be disappointed that none of the articles I've read on the injunction (or any other reporting on the case) include the fact that the "guideline" we are accused of violating was issued by the NCAA well AFTER the incident they are basing their accusation on, in fact after Nico had committed.

We all know Rick’s history in the NCAA tournament and we all know his teams have had its flaws. But I will not take this man for granted, and I am thankful that we are having him in the twilight of his career.

It’s obvious that he is highly respected in his profession and a lot of colleagues look up to him. The only accomplishment missing is a national championship, and it would bring me so much joy to see this team do it.

It’ll be a sad day when Rick decides to hang it up, but because of the way he has built the program and the leadership that UT has now, I have zero doubt that we’ll have an accomplished successor lined up. Enjoy the ride.

Have we even played in the RB? Feels like an inclusive bowl for my entire lifetime, only between PAC and B1G.

So it's no surprise. But the 12 team playoff will change that quickly.

We have indeed played in it but we lost to USC. We were undefeated and unscored until the bowl that season.
