Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

I was at that game. Still one of the coolest TN games ive been too. Fresno State fans were in awe.

Derp...it was UNLV🤦🏼‍♂️

That was back when badasses roamed college campuses. None of these millenials. No siree in my day we stood in line for a beer at Ocharleys, and braved that smoky shiltty dance floor for a chance to talk to the 1 girl who had 75 guys standing around here while 'What is Love' blasted on the loud speakers.

No sir in my days you drank 10 beers before kickoff, because they didnt serve beer at the stadium. And you held it to you couldnt any more, then you opened up in a toilet with a seat taller than you.

No sir you stopped at the wall of ATM's on way, bc ATMs inside the stadium didnt exist, and cash was king. You had a News Sentinel for lineups. And you paid these prices, for a hot dog, and paid no more.

Nope those were the days, hold on my Motrola Razr is ringing,

Not Peay - but that swing is like Raymond Floyd with a Gary Player walk through, the latter of which some current touring guys use in some situations. Go watch video of those two greats from yesteryear.

Trump can really play the game.

I get that. I just don’t agree with it. Appears to me that if it hadn’t gone in then yes should have been penalized, but since the ball went in on its own that would seem the ball never stopped moving. Is the rule about the ball or the approach?
Click to expand...
It’s about pace of play. The ball can stop moving on the lip of the cup, and then wind or stepping closer can cause it to fall in. I don’t really have an issue with the rule because at some point, you have to move on.

Happy Wednesday

Scripture — Gospel of Luke 15:4–5 (NIV)
“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?
And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders…”

Reflection
There is something almost unreasonable about this picture.
Ninety-nine are safe. One is missing. And yet the shepherd’s attention turns fully toward the one. Not because the ninety-nine lack value, but because the one is his—and it is now beyond reach.

The movement here is important. The shepherd does not call the sheep back from a distance. He goes. He searches “until he finds it.” There is persistence in that phrase—no hint of a brief attempt or a measured effort. It is a pursuit that continues until the lost thing is no longer lost.
And when he finds it, there is no reprimand. No lecture about wandering. He lifts it, carries it. The weight of return rests on the shepherd, not the sheep.

That is a quiet but decisive truth: restoration, in this story, is not achieved by the lost finding its own way back. It is accomplished by being found.

But here, the defining emotion is not frustration—it is joy. “He joyfully puts it on his shoulders.”
The moment of recovery is not treated as a problem solved, but as something worth carrying.

Prayer
Lord, there are places where I try to manage my own return—where I think I need to solve, fix, or prove something before I can be restored.
But this picture shows something different. You come after what is yours. You carry what cannot carry itself.
Help me trust that Your pursuit is steady, not conditional.
Where I have wandered—quietly or obviously—meet me there.
And when You do, teach me to receive being carried without resistance or pride.
Let me rest in the truth that being found is not a burden to You, but a joy. Amen.

He's decently skilled...so I don't understand why he's such a notorious cheater (ok, maybe the shoe fits). There are tons of stories out there and even some video proof of a caddy at one of his clubs helping him cheat. I can't stand a cheat in golf.

I posted this one in a wrong thread yesterday lol.


Happy Tuesday



Psalm 5:3 (NIV)

“In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice;

in the morning I lay my requests before you

and wait expectantly.”





There is something deliberate about the order here. Not just that David prays—but when, and how. “In the morning… I lay my requests before you… and wait.”



He begins the day by placing his voice—not his schedule, not his worries, not his control—before God. It is an act of alignment before action.

And then comes the quieter, harder part:

“and wait expectantly.”



Not just waiting—but waiting with the belief that God will respond. Most of us are comfortable with the asking. Less so with the waiting.

And even less with expectation during the waiting.



Expectation reveals trust.

It says: God hears, and God will act—whether I see it immediately or not. This kind of posture reshapes a day. Instead of reacting to everything that comes, you move from a place that is already grounded, already oriented.

You’re not chasing control—you’re walking with confidence.



Prayer

Lord,

meet me in the quiet of this morning.

Before the noise, before the demands, before I try to carry everything on my own—teach me to come to You first.

Help me not only to speak, but to trust.

Not only to ask, but to wait with expectation.

Shape my heart so that I begin each day aligned with You, not just busy for You. And in the waiting—steady me. Remind me that You hear, You see, and You are already at work.

Amen.

The latest on Tennessee basketball's efforts in the transfer portal​


The Tennessee basketball program continues to work on its roster for the 2026-2027 season in the transfer portal and recruiting.

On Tuesday, Notre Dame forward Jalen Haralson arrived at Tennessee for his official visit. He will be at UT until Wednesday evening.

The 6-foot-7, 220-pound forward averaged 16.2 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists, earning All-ACC honorable mention as a freshman. He played in 27 games and started 23.

Haralson, according to a weekend report, cut his list to Tennessee, Ohio State and North Carolina. Tennessee getting a visit is notable and the Vols will be working to close the deal with Haralson before he leaves town.

The Irish transfer was not the only visitor on campus Tuesday.

Prep forward Chris Washington, Jr. was in town as well. The 6-8 Washington is a four-star small forward from Murfreesboro. Washington was a one-time Alabama commitment but the Tide are no longer a factor. Washington will announce his school of choice on Thursday at 4:30 p.m. ET. His finalists are Tennessee, Ole Miss, Auburn, Villanova, and USC with Tennessee carrying the momentum into his decision day.

While the Vols are hosting two visitors they are scheduled to have a third visitor on campus sometime on Wednesday in VCU transfer guard Terrence Hill, Jr. Hill has been on a visit to Kansas and has been scheduled for a Wednesday arrival since late last week as Volquest reported. Hill appears to be Tennessee’s primary point guard target.

Hill averaged 15.0 points, 2.8 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 25.0 minutes per game during a breakout season at VCU. The 6-3 guard from Portland, Oregon, shot 37.0% on 81 made 3-pointers and 46.6% from the field.

Could Clarence Massamba return to Tennessee?​


Not counting former walk-ons, Tennessee currently has two scholarship players returning from last season in forward DeWayne Brown and guard Troy Henderson. Henderson pulled his name out of the portal to return to the Vols and had shoulder surgery last week.

Tuesday morning, On3’s Pete Nakos reported it was trending for freshman Clarence Massamba to return. Massamba entered the portal on April 6. Massamba and Tennessee have been discussing a return. Sources said Tuesday night that nothing was finalized and Massamba didn’t return messages from Volquest.

Guard Ethan Burg has made no declaration about his future at Tennessee. Neither has Nate Ament, who is expected to be a first-round NBA Draft pick.

All quiet on Juke Harris watch​


The Vols conducted an in-home visit with Wake Forest transfer guard Juke Harris on Sunday evening. North Carolina has also had an in-home visit and Harris has visited Michigan. On Tuesday, there was no new update out of Harris’ camp about future visits or a timeline on a decision. The 6-7 sophomore is the No. 3 overall player in the NCAA Transfer Portal in the On3 Industry Ranking after averaging 21.4 points in his second season at Wake.

He had an effective field goal percentage of 52.7%, while shooting 44.4% from the floor and 33.2% from the 3-point line. He averaged 6.1 points in 19.0 minutes per game as a freshman in 2024-25.

Harris picked Wake Forest over Tennessee out of high school as a four-star prospect out of Salisbury, N.C. He was the No. 95 overall player in the 2024 Rivals Industry Ranking. He was the No. 34 small forward in the class and the No. 9 player in North Carolina.

Who the Vols have added in the transfer portal so far​


Tennessee has multiple spots to fill on the 2026-27 roster after six former players entered the NCAA Transfer Portal last week.

The Vols to date have added three players from the NCAA Transfer Portal: Belmont graduate-transfer guard Tyler Lundblade, Cal guard Dai Dai Ames and Loyola Chicago forward Miles Rubin.

Where the departed Vols have landed?​


Six Vols entered the transfer portal, while only two have announced a destination.

Forward JP Estrella is transferring to Michigan and forward Jaylen Carey is transferring to Missouri. Forward Cade Phillips has not decided on a destination. He has visited Alabama and Texas A&M.

Guard Bishop Boswell has visited N.C. State and Maryland. Guard Amari Evans also entered the portal.

I'm surprised Amari is still available. I would have thought he already had a place lined up to go to when he hit the portal.

I've seen donkeys go rogue and turn on goats. I've had donkeys but always kept them with my horses.

But to your point Donkeys have been known to attack and kill coyotes. Two neighbors that keep cattle also keep donkeys to help protect calves and young cows from coyotes and black vultures.
