McDad,
I owe you a genuine apology for saying you’d be the kid sitting alone in the cafeteria — it was thoughtless, and it doesn’t reflect how I truly see you. The truth is, you’ve always struck me as the kind of person who doesn’t need a crowd to validate your worth, someone whose presence carries quiet gravity even in a room full of noise. But if life ever did put you at that table by yourself, I’d pull up a chair beside you without hesitation — not out of pity, but because that’s where I’d want to be. You’ve got this rare mix of humor, grit, and authenticity that deserves to be recognized, and I’m sorry for ever framing it as loneliness instead of strength. You’re the kind of person people remember, and I’ll always make sure you know it.
With love,
Dink
PS please don't curse our football team tomorrow
Agree with all of this, of course. McDad is the funniest and most affable guy among us. Nothing but love here.
Dink is a good dude too and thoughtful if you know him. Texted me to check on Pop as soon as he knew something was wrong...he's never met Pop, nor me in person (yet).Bunch of "foxhole brothers" up in here. Guys that have got your back, even when things are rough.
**McDad please don't do it. Wear your lucky drawers and lucky hat til the games over. We are counting on you.
What the heck???McDad,

Yall venmo me a load of cash or I will smite the Vols tomorrow.
Starting at 12:49 (when it says Tennessee) he gives a short recap of the amazing recruits we have in town this weekend. Loaded group. He only mentions a fraction of them, and mostly the guys we are trying to flip to add to our great 2026 class. We have dozens of visitors and their families.
Hubbs said that not only is this the biggest recruting weekend of the season for us, but that UT got the SEC to petition ABC so that we got the night game slot in a very well coordinated event when we have THE biggest game of the weekend in FBS with playoff elimination on the line, night game with Darkmode for the last time for our seniors, and everybody plus their actual Mamas on campus to soak it up this weekend. If Penn St hadnt imploded, them vs OSU could have been competitive for biggest game Halloween weekend. Thankfully they did...and it has created a dream scenario like Bama 2022 when we beat Saban and blew the minds of guys for 23, 24, and 25 classes. We bout to have an amazing atmosphere tomorrow. For those lucky folks attending tomorrow...please scream your voice out and affect the game. GBO
