Makes you wonder if the reporting would be different if the "Nico" thing hadn't happened. edit: to clarify, "Great player decides to leave because FILL IN THE BLANK ". narrative. Then cast blame on FILL IN THE BLANK

premature evaluation

Couple more shots from that game. Note: This next one looks like a touchdown. I found a youtube replay and looked for it and realized he was just fielding a punt. I guess we were late to the game. Took this picture of the stadium as we approached. I feel old. Stadium barely resembles...

I was at that game. I was tinkering with photography and moving around the stadium. I jockeyed my way to the south end zone at the foot of the steps and took some pictures of that play. Here you can see Holloway running towards the pressbox side and Sievers too. Later Sievers changed...

Nobody predicted that downpour. Sun was out on the way to the stadium and after the game. I was in G under the upper deck (dry) above the student section. My date pointed out it was an involuntary wet-tee shirt contest. Me, I was paying attention to her and the game and didn't notice it. (right)

1965. I was a little kid (obviously..) UT vs. Army. Section K. I read somewhere that was the first time they ran through the T. Don't remember that, but, BY GOD , I was there. My favorite player, Jerry Smith. Not sure why.

I'm 68 and can't hit every game like I once could. Even though ticketmaster jacks up the resale, when you sell there, I've come out ahead each year and still get to go to a couple of games. So basically, the games I sell pays for next seasons tickets. My seats are a little unique, I'm in one...

I'm looking at my watch. I'm looking at the calendar. I'm observing BB. I'm thinking about my midlife crisis and planning it. As John ward said, "It's time". The good news is, at 68, if this is my "mid", that takes means I'll check out of the hotel at around 120. (sigh, I've always liked...

That's interesting for sure. I'd always heard it was Warren Beatty, or Mick Jagger. OK, coffee kicking in. The Mick Jagger reference is that he actually sings harmonies in the song (I think).

Beach Volleyball is mesmerizing to some degree.

Who is this Nico guy everyone speaks of?

Yes.. me too..lol clickbait.

It was a long time before the ruling came. I have a feeling they were grasping at straws to do the right thing. I was pleased with the decision. Why? Well she did knock the crap out of the ball and launched it out of the park, so there's that. But rules are rules. Don't do the crime if...

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong here. Didn't Nike put the kabosh on the term Lady Vols? Seems like our AD at the time (don't remember which one) caved and let the Lady Vols disappear for a while. Was it Nike pushing that or the AD? I never liked the vibe that they wanted complete control...
