Darn it! I was eating crawdad graced gumbo and joking with the wife. Looked up briefly at the TV featuring the development of the conical bullet. To emphasize the effect of the conical shape and resulting spin on accuracy and speed, a super brief shot of a Vols quarterback's touchdown pass to a receiver was displayed. However, I saw it too briefly to catch the payer numbers which tell me who they were and approximately what year it was. But I saw enough to say "The Vols Are History Makers!" ESPN may hate us but the History Channel loves us.

If i remember correctly, the one and only Heath Shular did a shot while at UT in which he throws a football at the camera and hits the lens dead center and breaks the lens...been a while back so i might be off on the details but pretty sure it was Heath.

Copeland was the reciever. And that was none other than #16 throwing that beautiful pass.

I have a Magnovox DVR/VCR combo, wasn't on and wasn't expecting that short burst of Vols love so no reason to have the thing copying a how.

DVR or DVD?

With a DVR cable or satellite box you can pause and/or rewind live tv. After having one for the last 4 or 5 years, I don't know how I could, or ever did, live without one

Might be but camera wasn't hit, someone caught the pass for a TD. I think the other team was KY but again it was so brief and unexpected, I all but missed it.

In case you don't know who #16 was it's Peyton throwing and Jermaine Copeland catching. And it was against Bama. I did have the DVR going and rewound it, and watched it a couple of times.

Why would they show a Tennessee football play during a commercial for that?

It was not a commercial. They were talking about how rifled barrels in the Civil war imparted spin on the bullet which caused greater accuracy and distance. As an example of the physics behind it, the scientist talked about a QB throwing a perfect spiral VS a wobbly pass. As he was talking about a perfect spiral it showed a clip of Peyton throwing a beautifully spun pass to Jermaine Copeland for a TD against Alabama.

Could be. I have no need for anything fancier so won't waste money on something I don't need and would rarely if at all use.

As for how backwoods I am, here's a little of what I do use.

I have four notebook computers with three put to use on a regular basis because one is retired as an emergency backup. One is for heavy duty work and one for lectures and periodically to link to the TV to watch streamed Vols game. One the wife pecks on. The heavy duty unit houses three 2.5 500GB harddrives, 16GB RAM, super multi-optical drive, built in 30 pixel webcam, 1.5GB nVidia videocard, Intel 960 CPU, every type of port except a PS/2. Turns on by either swiping my finger on a fingerprint reader or via face recognition. I can go on and on but let's just say the thing is so loaded it weighs 17.3lbs. And it's used so much because I have a life beyond just watching TV.

This should be memorialized. I mean, so freaking badass.

Has anyone ever said to you "look at the big brain on Brad?"
