That team is a dumpster fire. Without a decent owner they never be good and we know there is No chance the owner sells the team. Had the first pick and who knows if he is good. He has no line and no help. Vrabel looks like a really good coach now that he wiped the stench of himself. We are gonna ruin first round talent for years to come.

I'm not starting anything here, nor am I saying I "know" anything from some secrete source............

But don't be so sure about the "NO chance" part about the Adams family selling.........

There have been things mentioned around here that if it ever starts to have smoke, it will be after the new stadium is built.

That open LSU job just keeps getting more and more uninviting. They are trying to get away with not paying Kelly's buyout as if they had a legal leg to stand on. They aren't even trying to claim they fired him for cause.

A new report from The Advocate based on letters and other documents said former LSU football head coach Brian Kelly has formally requested LSU pay him his full buyout. The letter, sent Nov. 5 by Kelly’s attorneys to Athletic Director Verge Ausberry and LSU Board of Supervisors member John...

Look into the Volvo XC90. We have owned the 60 and 90. Both are great vehicles. The 90 is larger. Not sure if you are wanting sequoia size or forerunner. We love our XC90. Got it at Jim Ellis Marietta. Actually got both Volvos from there. We had the 60 7 years before trading it in on the 90 in 2020.

Looking for large vehicle as my car is the travel one. So it has to be pretty big and store a good bit as we travel a lot. I’ll look at it!

We got the Yukon because we didn’t like like the center console in the Wagoneer. I like the Sequioa other than the third row now being flat. I like it even as it limits storage then. I paid over 80k for the hunk of crap I drive now.

November 9, 1991
"The Miracle at South Bend"


One of the greatest comebacks in Tennessee football history has simply become known as "The Miracle at South Bend". On Nov. 9, 1991 Coach Johnny Majors led his 13th-ranked Volunteers into Notre Dame Stadium to take on Coach Lou Holtz and the No. 6 ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish. It was the sequel to the classic Vols-Irish contest in 1990, the year before, when Tennessee's bid to upset the No. 1-ranked Irish fell just short 34-29 at Neyland Stadium. The Irish roster was loaded with future NFL players including Jerome Bettis, Rick Mirer, Rod Smith, Rodney Culver, Tony Brooks and Aaron Taylor.

Tennessee fell behind 21-0 in the first quarter and trailed the Irish 31-7 in the closing minutes of the first half. Notre Dame lined up to kick a field goal that would have made the score 34-7 at halftime, but linebacker and kick-blocking specialist Daryl Hardy blocked the attempt and fleet-footed defensive back Floyd Miley scooped up the football and raced 85 yards for a touchdown to give the Vols a little life, 31-14 at the half. The momentum from that game-changing play carried over to the second half as Tennessee's offense got on track scoring 21 points, while the defensive held the Irish to just a field goal.

The Vols completed the comeback in the fourth quarter when running back Aaron Hayden caught a screen pass from quarterback Andy Kelly and coasted 26 yards for a score. John Becksvoort's PAT made it 35-34 Tennessee with 4:03 left in the game. There was one final miracle needed, however, as Notre Dame frantically and methodically marched down the field in the game's final moments. With four seconds left from the UT 9-yard line, defensive back Jeremy Lincoln partially deflected the 27-yard field goal attempt to preserve the Vols miraculous, hard-fought, dramatic victory.

Kelly was 24 of 34 for 259 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Kelly spread the ball around to eight different receivers in the game. Hayden was Tennessee's leading rusher with 82 yards on 17 carries and a touchdown along with two receptions for 30 yards and a touchdown. The linebacking trio of Ernest Fields (13 total tackles), Shon Walker (12 total tackles) and Hardy (10 total tackles) led the defense.

I was on my honeymoon in Cancun and enjoyed watching the game w 3 amigos in the hotel bar during a tropical storm.
That first half FG block was just what the Vols needed!

That's cool. Cant really recall anything that memorable, other than the 6OT win versus the inbreds. Was at a farm party with no TV. Listened to game over radio, was pretty intents.

My buddy and I were at another party in 98, when goalposts cane down we both had a inclination to drive to knoxville. but we are poor. Walking back to the car when Cheese scored. In the cheap seats when the hail mary versus Flarduh in Swamp i. '03. and in section J when Wilhoit was true in 04

was sitting in a bar, solo in Connecticut in 2022 when Game Winner vs Turds.

did get to see us beat Texas at TBA in person. That was cool.

Just think ND has two “quality Losses”, no quality wins and they are on target to get a home CFP game…

Really🤔 So a victory over a rising USC at home isn't a " quality win"? I think the committee would beg to differ...

USC wasn't ranked at that time but they are now, just keeps making Notre Dame look better and better...

Man thank you for this! I was looking at the tremor and read the ride was similar so I said I might as well go to the Raptor. If it rides better, I’ll definitely look at it. I’ve had two GMCs back to back and I’m done with it. My wife has had two cars in twenty years and are both Lexus. If they had a large SUV, I would get it tma.

I'm on my 3rd Lexus and love Lexus. I never ever have any service issues with all 3 I've owned. The great thing about Lexus is all their dealerships/service facilities are top knotch. Free sodas, free water, massage chairs, free internet, very clean bathrooms, free car washes and they literally treat all clients like your important.

Only down side is you have to use premium gas only which got costly up until last 6 months so now doesn't hurt so much. I've had two GX470 and now I have the smaller SUV NX 200-T turbo. I put over 150,000 miles on last two and right now have about 139.000 on my current one and I need to get ready for a newer one but since I use rental cars every week for work, I don't even drive it hardly, it just sits collecting dust. My current rental is a 2026 Dodge Ram truck called the "Rebel". Very nice and is fully loaded. Check it out too
