Do you have moles in your yard? I've encountered the mole Atlantis in my yard. How do you get rid of them?

Not sure if it works for moles but I had a friend who found a tunnel system for chipmunks on their small farm plot, happens a good bit. To humanely rid them they would take gallon milk jugs and plug them in as many holes as they could find, then they would using a hose flood what they thought was the center. The chipmunks would flee for escape and crawl out and into the milk jugs. Then they would rehome them somewhere away from their land.

We would’ve played Ohio State in the semifinals on a neutral field instead of the first round in Columbus…

The entire feeling around the program would be different. Would've beaten SMU in Neyland. Which would have been glorious.

We would maybe be healthier against UGA and beating them would have been absolutely massive for the program. Probably lose by less to OSU and everything is healthier with a 12-3 finish.

Bare minimum 11-3 with a playoff win.

Yes. You can't discount momentum. A strong win against SMU could have really inspried the team. Facing OSU in the very first game? Yikes.

I honestly dont think we did him THAT dirty, we went 3-0 with Fulmer, then when majors returned we went 2-0 and then a 3 game losing streak, pair that along with Majors getting older and in poor health at the time, I could kind of understand why It went down
Click to expand...
The 3 game losing streak was due to the players separating into different t factions. The ones who loved Majors and the ones who wanted Fulmer.

That would mean one would have to go. I was young, but I sat in the stands for the Arkansas loss. A team that was 1-4 and had lost to The Citadel and Memphis State.

I am glad for and appreciate both of them. They both had historical influence on our program. In hindsight, you can't argue with the decision based on the results.

Not sure about this one. We tried adidas once. Didnt work. Kids like Nike.

Coaches matter. Position coaches matter. They are the key to recruiting. Not some sales guy masquerading as a recruiting guru

If we became a top 5-10 priority for Nike then I would be fine with staying with them. They just don’t seem to care. You can’t pay a top tier program mid tier money to stay with them.

I would want Adidas to give full creative control. I would also say that Tennessee needs to go all in on design. Make it the standard for what Adidas offers. If we go that route.

I was there for every home game and a few road games including the one right before Majors was fired. I was so pissed that season was ruined by all the infighting.

I can't stop thinking about these dead cockroaches. I've sprayed the entire place about 3 times. I think I'm gonna call a pest controller and have them do what they do. . . the best offense is a good D.

Iirc a non repellent pesticide is recommended for roaches. Repellent pesticides somewhat work but they eventually just find new ways to get in. Non repellent will kill them better. I'm a licensed applicator but only do my own insecticides. I also coach football a handful of Saturdays each year w mixed results.
