1 acre of fine Tennessee land

[Donvolson]

My great, great, great grandfather was the first Governor of Florida(Andrew Jackson Donelson). His aunt , Rachel Donelson Jackson was quoted as saying "10,000 acres of this infested swampland is worth but 1 acre of our fine Tennessee land." I ask you VOLNATION how many VOL fans are 10,000 florida fans worth? Bring the heat on this one

My gramps said the same thing about Tx vs Mo land.

 

[Donvolson]

Andrew Jackson Donelson negotiated Texas into the U.S. in 1855. The vols were playing football already. It wasn't very organized and no records were kept. Women played too, occasionally. The civil war took away all of the good players

None

Thought this was gonna be another Gruden thread.

I was told there would be no math

A coonskin cap is greater than 10,000 jorts.

Smart woman, that Rachel. 10,000 gator fans has no value what-so-ever!

I read about this, Davy Crockett was there and he had to leave at half time for the Alamo, he was so updet about going that he could'nt fight. That is why he is at every game, to see the half he missed

Then Walt disney bought up all the swampland in central florida.... and u know what he did

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

You know Rocky Top is good stuff..but that bottom land is richer is what Sgt.York was told by his mama back in the day. Swampland is for gatorboys that like to hunt for slimy reptiles and shoot'em in the head. Rachel Jackson was a very smart lady when she said those famous words that Donvolson quoted. h34r:

1 acre on the beach would be worth way more than anyone acre in Tennessee.

Go VOLS!

I heard Gruden listed his land for sale at halftime of the NCSU game.

Check out my quote. Found it when I first signed up for VolNation!

If said land is too rocky by far does this equation still hold?

Ahhh, i see what you did there... You, you my friend are very clever..

Eventhough Davy hated Andrew Jackson and his approach to the native americans, here is a cool story of two iconic Vols/Tennesseans. I love this story, and isn't a widely known story at that.

[CountVolcula]

Depends on whats planted on that 1 acre. Could be worth more than prime land in Manhattan
