With these outrageous gas prices, will it affect your attendance at Neyland this season?
Yeah, if your local you are super lucky. It's a nearly a 4 digit weekend to go see the vols these days for me and a lot of us.An extra twenty bucks or whatever is a relative drop in the bucket compared to the typical overall cost of a big football day at Neyland - especially for those driving far enough to need hotel rooms etc
Not just here, price hotels for road game weekends. They usually triple compared to weekends when no game is in town. Think they're gougin', you betcha. Price gouging begins at the pumps and end at the dinner table. I used to love to hear John Ward say " Pay these prices, and no more", but ole JW always had a good seat waiting, and he deserved it. The rest of us just have to make our own calls on how much we can spend.I stopped going to games before the gas prices went up. Too expensive and more fun on TV with a bunch of friends over.

Liked for "hither and yon", and congrats on the house.I think I'm driving more now than before the price got ridiculous. Building a new house, ( I'm 69, what was I thinking) and having to run hither and yon for so many items I would never have dreamed of. Oh well, get to start moving in this evening.
