IDK the significance of the tower. I'm guessing the one on it represents that the BaseVols need one win?

I got a kick out of looking at the cars and people.
I'm guessing gun control was a topic at that time, but I don't think the USA had as many shootings then as it does now.
Is that correct in your opinion?

FWIW, it only takes about $1,000,000 to fully finance the baseball team. Unlike football, their NIL deals already aren't that big

Curious…..Where are you getting that #?

Guys, it’s getting serious now.
Wearing the championship winning, power T undies, the lucky, “throwback” Coors Light, power T shirt from 2022 and since there are no Jersey Mike’s in Niota...I’m making tuna subs for me and the 6 yr old, gonna crush some gametime white claws and we’re gonna pull this damn thing off today!
Only problem, the 6 yr old doesn’t like tuna so this is gonna be a battle when I make him take one for the team and give his all for Tennessee, today.

GO BIG ORANGE!!

I'm starting to wonder if she doesn't have some serious mental issues going on. It would explain a lot.

I have a different opinion on why she acts this way. I'll hold my true feelings.

I think that was #5 (hrs or days) on that last one. That happened so

That nasty along with a tuna sub every Friday, brought us a lot of series victories 3 years ago!!
It was a thing where the game started, I realized I was out of beer but saw that I had some white claw stored for emergency purposes...it was an emergency and we went on an amazing run after.
