Man that made my day...I know the image I have on here, and I fully accept that is my fault for using this place as a dumping ground for the worst of me for the last 16 years, it is selfish and wrong of me, and you have no idea how many times I've asked the Lord to forgive me for the things I say here...but I've needed it at times to help flush the many frustrations and aggravations of real life in a relatively harmless way....I still have a lot of old me salt in me, and I can never express that in real life.

I'm not the evil piece of garbage I used to be, but I'm still not the man I want to be, and with God's help, I will be...I need more temperance, more patience and more wisdom....more Jesus.

But...this is really who I am..this is my life, I live to help others. 10 years ago we walked away from the financial opportunity of a lifetime in T-Bay to come here to one of the worst places for jobs in the US, simply because I felt this was where God wanted me to be...that is who I really am, and I know I'm where I am supposed to be.

The state contracts our company to take prisoners home from the local minimum security state forest work camp when their time is up, and also we pick up a lot of folks from the local County jails that recieve court ordered drug rehab instead of jail time. A couple of months I picked up a guy who was going to a facility in Louisville and as we got to talking about life, he broke down and told me that he was thinking about ending his life if he couldn't make it work this time...so I told him my long story, and by the time we got there we had bowed down and prayed together and he gave his life to Jesus. He told me as he was getting out at the facility that I was an angel that God had sent his way and that he would never forget it. Man...I have had several experiences like that over the years now...I know I've helped a lot of people overcome and that makes my heart glad.


All that being said..I really am a cantankerous old common sense loving grump too, I really am a salty old redneck, and I truly despise the sickening perversion and insanity that has taken over this world and everyone behind it....that is not an act...I just don't carry on like I do on here about it.

I really REALLY don't like the Idiot Margin either...they really do sicken me....lol.

I've said it before...some day I won't need this place to help vent the anxieties, frustrations and aggravations of life and I will either just change how and what I post, or start a new handle...I'm slowly getting there..lol.

McGill you are one of the realest people. I had a good friend who died a couple of years ago who used to say,"I hate fake azz people." That pretty much sums up my point of view. With all the fake crap out there today it is refreshing to hear from people who you may not agree with all the time talk like real people. I have discussed you with my wife many times and she says that I am the optimistic you, she agrees more with you than me.

Anyone know where I can find a good leg strap for my Walkman? I'm gonna drive a nice sports car later today and I want to act like I'm flying a jet on a mission to rescue my dad, who is held hostage by a foreign country.

Can someone explain to me the odds of us not winning a single coin toss this year in either regular time or overtime?

Tails never fails.

-didn’t have starting 2 DTs until Arkansas game
-only starting LB that’s SEC good has had turf toe all season
-we lost 4 defensive linemen to the NFL
-lost both starting CBs (NFL top round talent) to injury, second string CB to portal
-starting safety to NFL, second string safety to portal
-starting STAR to portal

Eason was not out.
Recruit better or play younger players
Garner always has dudes, but needed more depth to start for sure
Again, should have used the portal more as everyone said in the summer for DBs
Boo is and was our starting star

What can we do though. Playoffs still right there and we just have to win out. This team can do it.

Yesavage. . . that's what all my girlfriends call me. . . Ye Savage

16:00-19:40
Here is a good video on what Tennessee did this offenseason to protect the quarterback.
Cube talks about pull protection, how it works, and how Heupel, after the bowl game made it an emphasis. I thought it was good info so I'll pass it along to anyone interested

 

[jordan4vols]

Something I didn’t realize…..This is Oklahoma’s third road game……other than South Carolina and Temple

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

He could care less that is for sure. I hate we are paying him for this 30% effort. You can see his potential which sucks

 

[JohnnyD1024]

I wonder if Seth Littrell is more involved in the offensive game planning this week? This is a revenge game for Littrell, remember he was Venables scapegoat last season. Even though no one could do much as an offensive play caller with who they had at QB, a horrible offensive line and having your top 5 wide receivers out.

Have we lost every coin toss so far? If so then it is 1 in 512 (0.195%).

David Sanders lookin for someone to hit…

Not for nothing, many clips where Lance Heard's guy has found himself on the ground in pass pro as well. Both tackles playing well.

Always excuses. Top notch elite programs don’t make excuses

I haven't seen it in years. I wonder how corny it is now or if it's still pretty good?

AI says 1 in 1,024 chance. Or 0.098%

This is funny bc if Vols would’ve matched up with ECU last season and Yesavage mowed them down, VN would undoubtedly talk about how Vols “didn’t show up”, or “just aren’t that good”.

Meanwhile he’s doing this to major league hitters and in the WS no less.

So you ever get tired of that point of view? Geez. VN this, VN that. I bet, I know blah blah.
