Hahaha. No. Also didn’t embrace the water v paper culture. Distinct differences in hygiene, but I believe America is in the global minority in that regard.

I say that tongue-in-cheek as someone with many Indian friends through academia. When you bring up an Indian stereotype they 1. Think its hilarious and 2. Say "That's South India, forgive them" to the bad ones. Almost all my friends are from North and Northwest India so they just blame the South for the bad stuff🤣

Fudging their height as in most players are shorter or taller than they are?

Football does it too, im 6’0 even and when we stormed the field vs bama I walked past sampson and he maybe came up to my shoulder, as did several of the players with listed 5’11 or 6’0 heights

Byington had no issue finding capable offensive players in no time. Rick in a decade has shown he has no idea ab offense.

We have one of the highest offensive efficiencies in the country. Slightly higher currently than last year's. We ended up having 2 players score 20+ while Vandy had 1. In fact, Barnes knows so much about offense this team turned in a 50pt second half.

Y'all really need to chill out with the negative overreactions duringbthe course of a game.

Happy Monday - jealous of my peeps who are off today. Enjoy it.

Kinda crazy to me that we were, in retrospect, a bogus roughing the punter penalty away from playing in the SECCG

Yeah. Would have been our first trip to Atlanta since 2007 for a shot at our first conference title in over a quarter of a century. Cannot believe it's been that long since we won the SEC. And even if we'd lost to tu, we'd have still had a home playoff game. Things would've been mighty different had we taken care of business in Fayettenam.

Relative or Road trip?

A cake-loving opossum in Omaha, Nebraska, ate an entire Costco chocolate cake before wildlife rescuers admitted the "cranky" animal for recovery and diet rehab.

Assume you’re talking about ARK game.

Wasn’t called roughing. And wasn’t a bogus call bc he absolutely did run into the kicker.

5 yard penalty. Issue being it was 4th and 2.

I think it was bogus in the fact that we should have never called a punt block in that situation, for the exact reason that happened. Momentum completely changed that play and im still bothered by it

Either way, we shouldn’t have had anyone rushing the punter in that situation imo. Late in the 4th quarter and held a 1 pt lead at the time. Idk the logic behind sending a rusher in that situation

Edit: it was early 4th qtr on their fg drive that made it a 1 point game. Was still a bad call to rush the punter as arky was already gaining momentum

It was the first play of the 4th quarter, and we were up 4. It resulted in a FG. The bad part was we got 4 more possessions in that game.

I would imagine there are at least a few other surviving members of the 1952 team, but I think Jim Haslam is the last remaining person on Earth who has remaining ties to UT and knew Neyland. The youngest players from that team would now be 91 years old.
