    UTAD made brilliant decision to push money to LV’s instead of UTBB

    I spent my 5 years at UT working with 9-12 year olds. Then the last 17 years working with 20-60 year olds tradesmen that act like 9-12 year olds 😂. Comes with the territory I suppose.

    The WRASSLIN’ Thread

    That was a rare organic surprise for me. Flipping around to avoid the basketball game for a minute, stopped when I saw Briscoe (long time mark for them going back to like 05 or so). I'm sure I'd seen something about Ciampa showing up sooner or later but hadn't heard much beyond that. Was...

    Look, I get what you are saying. I do. And I'm not saying its 100% wrong. But screen all of the emotion and non-quantifiable things out of what you are arguing. The only thing that I, and I assume RBF, are saying is there is literally more physical capacity for growth for LV basketball...

    Read what he said. The *facts* literally support him. Does that mean it will happen? Maybe, maybe not. But the fact is the capacity of the arena and their potential number of home games compared to baseball is higher. Thats not a slight toward baseball or anything else. Its just math.

    As things have cooled off, the one big thing with DW that sticks with me (at least as far as competition goes) is how he handles the outside the revshare NIL deals, portal "tampering", etc... His continual comments over the last few weeks about other teams "cheating" and all of that makes me...

    East Tennessee Weather II

    Couple things worth remembering. First, Avoid the FB/Twitter/TT engagement farm weather guys. Stick to legit sources. I'm sure several in this thread can pass along some good ones to pay attention to. Second, don't downplay or laugh off what might happen. This is one of those time to be...

    Lindsey Nelson Stadium,

    I know several of us say it every year, but Rodney is one of my favorite people in this world. I’m sure some of it is because my brain clicks “you’re at baseball, time to relax” as soon as I see him, but he’s really the nicest, funniest guy. Takes good care of the other ushers too. I do...

    First pitch banquet set for January 24

    Glad you said that, I completely skimmed over the auction being open already.

    Lindsey Nelson Stadium,

    ok? Then by all means lay something out. I'll spare you whatever thoughts I have on what could go there or be a better use. Go ahead and put yours out there.

    2026 Single Game tickets

    Jan. 22 is when my season ticket holder single game sales window opened last year. I can't find the original notification, I must have deleted it. But they usually run a week or two ahead.

    Lindsey Nelson Stadium,

    Green spaces aren't inefficient, and UT would do well to keep them. That said, the current Frat Park and Fiji island are exactly that. Low density houses (compared to more recent builds), surface parking all over the place... Hell, Fiji Island is mostly gravel/mud and a few trees. Calling...

    Lindsey Nelson Stadium,

    Makes plenty sense to me. Right Field Hall is an all time name for sure.

    Lindsey Nelson Stadium,

    Build what? A reconfigured Frat park? He answered your question. Look at the map, you can put them all on the western end of the current area and open up space. As they currently sit, it's a ridiculously inefficient use of the land compared to the rest of campus.

    Lindsey Nelson Stadium,

    Well said, Its an unusual vibe that kinda suits it. And you're right, the frat houses days are numbered, at least in their current configuration. As desperate as they are for building space all over campus (and they are desperate), they'll work out something financially and do exactly what...
