Ryan Day seems like a polished up version of Butch Jones. He's had a lot of success, but does give off some desperate car salesman vibes. Butch had those.
I'd rather it be in Neyland, at night, but I like the draw against OSU in the primetime slot. For us, it's a showcase game and for them... well, we'll see. It should be the best game of the weekend. GBO!
For me, it was in 2006 when the VOLS put a whippin' on the Cal Bears - probably after that Cal TE that was smack talking got laid out on the KO. Me and a buddy was front row next to the visitors section and near their cheerleaders. We talked crap the whole game. Good times!
I grew up in mid-TN but was an FSU fan. Mostly because I thought the colors were cool, Charlie Ward was a baller and, most importantly, it pissed off my family. Even in ‘98 I was rooting for the ‘Noles. Looking back, that was pretty lame.

1) Bama - I hate’em. But really… What is one more title for them and St. Nick? I don’t...
I love the Orange helmet with the Power T… but I’d love to see “The Rifleman” logo brought back in some capacity. I think it served as an alternate logo from the early 80’s through the mid 90’s. Any idea if it was used on helmets during that time?
Greeting’s Volnation! Long time lurker first time poster. I’ve probably dipped in and out of this site (it seems) for well over a decade. VN threads and conversations have played a role in many of my talking points in my own conversations with friends… for better or worse!
