A couple of our Vols picked up on it and it spread like wildfire. JG and Swain took him out today. Tyler Byrd, Trey Smith and a couple of others are going to his school to have lunch with him.

The outpouring of support has been nothing short of outstanding. Started by our Vols and helped along with a Twitter/Facebook push from Vol Nation.

What it took for his mother to sit there and film that. The pain in her heart must've been agonizing. God bless her and her son.

I love this!!

Love this! I too (like alot of parents),have experienced this. It absolutely broke my heart, my son started middle school and the kids he grew up with, played with, first day!, when he went to sit by his buddies in cafeteria, one of them asked him, why was he trying to sit with them, he wasn't one of the popular kids. This was a child we took on vacations with us. It crushed him and when he told me, as a mother, cried my eyes out all evening..When I faced my son, I told him that every child was trying to find their way (even when it's not fair) when in a different environment.

Hmm...I was looking for something a little less technical and lower on the excitement scale...IDK :eek:lol:

Got too much gypsy in my blood to marry a barnyard cat's paw and framing hammer. :cray::cray:

Hey there! Yeah a box seat would be awesome, my birthday is coming up so I've told the wife I'll probably buy tickets to a game. Looks like if UNC is sold-out (and now priced crazy) I may settle for watching us beat on Pearl :)

Who and when is after UNC? Sorry I havenot been a basketball fan but loving it now, we haven't had much here as fans besides this, but will take a winning season where I find it. Love to support our other teams

First post since the hire. I'm excited to see what Pruitt does. Could have been a lot worse! Could have been better. But at least I'm excited for next season. Looking at the Sch it could go a lot of different ways. Of course hoping to win them all, but feeling happy with 8-4, possible 7-5. For a 1st year head coach, and no real recruiting, just a handful that he could pick up, I feel a 7-5 with who we play, will be a good boost for the program.
Again, I hope we win all of them, and I'm excited, not embarrassed to wear my colors up here! I have found 2 other Knoxville natives among the few people up here so at least I've had some people to talk to in person.
Go Vols! And I hope to see some of you in person once I return in Nov 18. Hoping someone can hook me up with some tickets!

7 wins may be bit optimistic with the schedule, but let's keep our fingers crossed:)

COD is too twitchy for my old reflexes. I prefer Battlefield. I play with my son sometimes and he spends the whole game trying to find me to one up his old man. Doesn't usually work out for him. Old age and treachery beat youth and reflexes.

It can be too much for me as well lol. We’ve switched from MW3 to WWII. I love it. Graphics are very well done, as well as the maps and guns are very historically accurate.

I like to use my old age in WWII lol.

Not at the moment.



Haha, yes I did. Nothing major, just an inconvenience. No power for 10 days was the worst of it.

Glad you missed the brunt of Irma. We sold our house just short of 2 months before she hit. We were on Big Pine Key. It took the brunt of her wrath.

What's your question? If it's where I'm at, I'm currently in Greenland for a year. Of it's more then that, I'm not sure what the question is.

I'm sorry, didn't mean to offend, I was just following what the conversation that was flowing in here and when you posted, I was thrown off guard. Please over look me, I just jump on here every once in awhile, not like the rest of the posters here. I apologize.
