Your BVS is real, I agree.

The “who starts a game day thread jinx” evidence of a very resistant remnant

We’re not lacking talent so much these days that the game outcome relies on the Volnation message board. Think the gumps have been on their board (assuming they gave the internet) fretting over who starts a thread for the last 17-18 years?

We. Are. Gonna. Whip. They….. ((butts)), every week, no matter who starts the game day thread

It was a gump that poisoned Auburn's tress, so yeah, I think they probably do have their own superstitions they follow. Read the room, Cletus. It's more than just me reporting the @Glitch jinx. It's not BVS. It's reality. @Glitch is a witch. In fact, he turned me into a newt once.


I got better.

That is BS jack. You be pissed if it happened to your car, nice or not. And It shouldn’t even have to be a consideration that I’d be a target for something so senseless.

Id be upset, absolutely. More so at the senselessness of it, and the point of having to pay OOP for another's stupidity. Whether or not my personal choices in vehicles is irrelevant, and that was not good timing for me to discuss, and was in poor taste.

Hope you get the mirror fixed bru.

@mrMet


Interesting game to bet on in Week 1 is Texas vs Ohio State, the early line is Ohio State -2-5. Normal homefield advantage line. Both teams are breaking in new starting QB's and both return very few starters on defense (1 for OSU and 2 for Texas) Both have five starters returning on offense.

I believe I will put a hundo on OSU to beat Texas at home straight up. Easy money,imo.

Was at Cherokee this week for work crap.

Co worker asked me if I wanted to bet on the Braves game. I said, 'noooo.'

Then asked if I wanted to be on LLWS. I said, that sounds fun but 'nooooo.'

Someone offered to put money on roullette table. So, walked down to the gambling arena floor.

When asked which number, 22. Always.

Oh, you know what's necks...IMG_1607.gif
We won.

So, next question. Same answer...always.

I just went to YouTube and clicked on bluechipbreakdown's latest video and I am having to wait 3:46 for a video on how to buy apartment buildings ad to play before watching it! This is ridiculous!

I take for granted living in Knoxville and having all the sports talk shows and radio stations talk about the Vols. It would drive me crazy listening to a UGA sports broadcast or hearing local stations mention them all the time, 😂.

Its nuts with the local stations around here because most of them are not leg humpers, they moved here from other states. Morning x has a bammer, a longhorn, and the Miami fan. Afternoon guy is a bammer too. The talk radio guys are mostly leg humpers but they're mostly alumni. We've got alot of news people and weather people who are GT alums and hate uga.........can't blame them. Still sucks though for us Vols stuck here.

Happy Sunday

August 17, 2025: This is a time like no other for you to rely on God and stay close. Stand strong in faith and be courageous in the face of adversity. Jesus knows you and loves you. You are under the Lord's protection, and He will guide you.1 John 3:20-21 For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.

Work required my family to move to Wichita Falls, TX, so I won't have any of my fellow Vol fans over this season. I did get a kickass new TV for the living room, but we also have a pretty sweet back deck setup, so I am trying to convince my wife to let me get a projector for the back to watch evening games

I'm thinking about putting a TV on the deck or back patio. I usually just watch on the laptop when I'm outside, but a TV & fire to watch a Vols night game sounds pretty good

Nah some random young drunk shithead from the bar I’m assuming. i walked out and found it like that, busted mirror. Of course i was parked in the spaces that aren’t covered by cameras. I have a nice car too like cmon man I work hard for this and some idiot decides he’s gonna take out his sexually frustrated alcoholic rage on a random car and now I’m stuck with having to deal with that and pay for it. Probably gonna have to come out of pocket.

Hope he picks a fight with someone next time he goes out and they beat him senseless in an alleyway and wakes up in the er with a fat lip and a fatter bill. F’ing POS.

Probably some drunk chick in high heels tripped and did a header into it, 😂

I think we could probably have decent expectations, considering our staff, and defensive/run game expectations. Personally, I suspect we'll be better than average and better than the talking heads predict--if not playoff caliber. (If we're "expecting" playoffs, then yah... Temper that and hope.)

Personally, my thoughts are the same as every other year we've had a QB competition. I think it best if we all hopefully watch things play out instead of picking a favorite and cutting the rest down. They're our guys, guys. We could treat them that way.

I root for every single player to start, including the walkons. I never hope for one player at the detriment of others. They are all Volunteers!

I admit that I do get disappointed when I hear interviews with players who say that “this year I have been training seriously because I can play. I was so far down the depth chart last year, etc. etc.” That attitude is why there’s a dropoff from starter to backup. Being prepared can mitigate a significant amount of athleticism. Being in your own peak physical shape and being absolutely prepared mentally can and does make a huge difference.

But that’s why I have lowered my expectations to only

17-0 🤠
