That's the first game I attended also. They sent a lot of East Tennessee high school teams tickets. I remember it being a blow out and watching the second half sitting about 10 rows up on the 50 behind Tennessee's bench.

I'm an old codger like you, KB, so -- agreed.

On the other hand, our grandparents were just as scandalized when Marilyn Monroe sang happy birthday to the President of the United States in her "bedroom voice." And our parents were up in arms about a girl named Madonna singing Like a Virgin on major radio stations for kids and everyone to hear.

So...yeah, we're going to hell in a hand basket. But we've been headed that way the entire lifetime of everyone on these boards. Mia Khalifa is merely one more step down that road. :)

Good context, I can certainly agree with you. But when we get to full on normalizing pornography and holding up the wh**es and johns involves in it, we’ve descended further, much further than a sultry birthday song to the president and a scantily clad skank in a music video. It’s an entirely different level of degradation and I never figured we’d quite get there in my lifetime. What’s next for the next generations? How do you go any lower? Again, God help us.

Wow. How the culture has nose dived and just cratered in the last few years/couple of decades. A university list a freaking pornography “star” as a proud alumna. God help us.

So? She gets paid to do something and she's good at it. She's no different than any actress. It's another form of entertainment appealing to many men, women, sexualities. Inb4 you say it's prostitution which it isn't (although should be legal but that's another discussion).

To follow up on this, KB:

It shocked me several years ago to find out that prostitution was one of the most honored professions in the fictional world of a TV series my teenage daughters were watching, a thing called Firefly. This gif that I'm sure you've seen many times is of the star of that show:

Needless to say, the girls and I had a conversation about why it is not right to lift up prostitution among the most valued and honored vocations of our society.

But yeah, that was something like a decade ago. Trumpeting Mia Khalifa as an alum is just singing that tune on down through the years....

That was one of my earlier games too. I was in the north end when it was still a half deck.

i was 8...., you old fart you 😂. Looking back I vaguely remember my grandfather and uncles being down on the Vols a little at that point and I couldn’t quite figure out why. IIRC seems like even though a lot of quality players were lost from the sugar Vols team, the expectations were still high for that year. I looked it up and the Vols were 1-2 heading into that game and had been blasted by Auburn the week before.
