Jesse Mahelona was a pretty good DT, as well. I'd say he had a better college career than Haynesworth.

Jesse was a very likeable character.
And a beloved former Vol.

Albert was a very unlikable character.
And a recognized former Vol.

But if granted the wish of having one of them, at their peak, to play on this defensive front - I’m taking Albert all day, every day.

Now, there would be a long line of people ready to explain why Jesse’s UT career may have been better (due in no small part to how this post started), but I’m taking the “talent”.

Today is Sweet as Soda's heavenly birthday. Her name was Greta Carrick and they actually named the library in Coalmont TN after her. Let's keep her and her family in our thoughts and hearts. GBO

I miss Sweet as Soda/Greta Carrick. She was not only funny but she knew just what to say to help when struggles came. She was a sweet, incredible woman and I'll definitely be thinking of her and her family today. Besides she helped keep all you menfolk in line!

The reality is that TV will be on every speculative shortlist in college and MLB for quite some time. I have faith we will do what it takes to keep him here. He loves this place and the program, and clearly we are committed financially to keeping it that way.

I still can't believe Bishop went off tackle on the short side of the field for 25 yards and a TD on the 1st play of OT. I thought for sure there was a safety waiting for him around the 10 and he just kept on going. . .

We had the strong side of the formation towards the field. That almost forces the defense to shade their alignment to that side. They were in single high safety because we were in a run heavy formation. The safety and LB's were shaded to the field. Great play call to out leverage the defense. Great blocks. And make 1 guy miss.

Miss her dearly. I can only imagine what she’d be saying with the way the team has been playing this season and especially how good the offense has looked.

With all due respect, how are you going to get a car/fix a car without money? Take a job and use the money you would need to fix the car issue to buy a bike/uber/pay friends gas money to get to the job for the first week or so.

I think you might've missed the medical research lead Enki gave me that I can hopefully get into. I can't get anywhere without a car and am in a bit of a catch-22 there. I'm not in Knoxville. If I were, things would be a lot simpler. I'm def. not turning down a job, I just can't get to one yet.

Oh I think she'd be on cloud nine about things! She'd probably be pumping us all up, getting us ready to run through a wall. :D

Thing about this LG, it's not a budget phone, it's just a good price. It's better than most flagship phones of it's time (mid 2020). I guess they are cheaper now because they don't make them any more and won't get updates past android 14. I can't find anything close to it's specs for under $600 now. Ridiculous.

I'll probably just sell one of @Weezer 's kidneys and get the new Sony Xperia 1 or whatever it's called. It's the closest thing I can find to the V60.

My earliest phone was a Samsung flip phone. I was always envious of the folks who carried around phones that could knock someone out if you hit them with it from the right angle.
