How are you getting ready for the new season?

[Volgrad98]

This is my first thread on the new forum. For me, I bought some new hats. First piece of Tennessee merch I've purchased in 5 years. So what are guys and gals doing to get ready for the upcoming season? Did you buy new gear? Buy a grill? First time season tickets? Even if it's nothing new, what are you doing?

Got the orange version too so I have one for home and away

I'm getting ready for the season by having my Doctor give me a prescription for Valium

Definitely need to get some new gear, but what I’m most excited about is not having to work weekends for the first time in 3 years. So glad I get to kick off the Pruitt era at home.

The same for me. The first time 7 years that I haven't had to work weekends. And I'm talking 6:00 am - 6:30 pm both Saturday & Sunday. That just absolutely ruins your football life.

Going out to buy my gear when it gets closer to game day. If I buy too early, get too antsy and can’t wait until kick off.

Just cleaned off my “lucky” white visor

I'm the exact same, I need to get a new orange polo but I don't want to buy it yet as I know It's going to make me itch for the season even more than I already am

Watching old games on YouTube. You can find damn near anything. Watching 1997 Alabama game right now.

 

[MidnightVols]

Ordered a few new shirts from Nike's website.

I'm most looking forward to getting my orange shirt with Smokey on it.

Been watching some old games too. It still amazes me how much NFL quality talent we used to have. Here's to getting back to those days...

I bought a new UT license plate frame. I'm hoping it brings good luck.

I scheduled PTO for several Saturdays. I've got the opening weekend, Florida week, and Georgia week so far. I've also got South Carolina and Missouri week. May not be able to schedule any more. We'll see.

Ordering via Walmart for $300 less than elsewhere: TCL 55" Class 6-Series 4K UHD Dolby Vision HDR Roku Smart TV - 55R617

Whittling down the honey-do list. Makes life easier in the fall. Other than that, I'm ready to go.

Edit: seems as if I need to relocate my avi.

Heck of a price. When it arrives will you give us an update on how you like it, the pic quality, etc? Thanks!

If I can restrict my intake to 375 ml per game, I'm good. Glad I stocked up before the tariffs kicked in.

Polo's make me itch too!

Good luck with that. I usually eclipse that mark with coffee on gamedays.

Bought a concrete bulldog and spray painted it day glo orange.

This is scotch only. I do twice that in coffee watching the EPL instead of Game Day.

Why a bulldog? Just curious.

Bought it at a yard sale and it came with an orange and black jersey painted on it. Spent 3x as much on spray paint as I paid for the statue.
