But, to be accurate, I wouldn't mind marrying the gal. She's a good one, and that doesn't come along too often

She must have logged on.

I know you lurk at the LV forum…

I haven't been in the LVs Forum in years. I'd go there when BB season started up
but I lost interest in it when some UConn fans moved in.

No, she doesn't know VN exists. But I'll probably tell her what I wrote.

Thought you were talking about football at first.

 

[VolPack22]

Even the Braves announcers are mailing it in

I think @chuckiepoo invited me to leave the funny farm.

I’ve accused others of leaving the dugout door open and not closing it behind them. Don’t be tarnishing my cred…

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

I’m convinced we could beat Georgia 35-0 and people would still be upset.

 

[VolPack22]

Figured out why the Dodgers have been in a slump.

 

[TN Jed]

Steer clear of the PF, fer sure.

Yeah, you're right, but the Pub is pretty nice. I do like the 'gone, but not forgotten' thread.

There would be some....mainly those loaded on jack and coke. (Not that there's any shame in that.....I can't be chucking rocks).

I haven't been there in awhile either. I need to get back & check things out.

Well, don't wander off for too long.

I exposed your secret.

I just got back. I almost was lost for a minute.

I used to have a VCR & taped every Vols game & re-watch & study the plays run.

Ah, I still have the 86 (some say 85) Sugar Bowl on VHS. The physical tape sits right underneath a hat signed by Coach Fulmer, and next to an unopened coke bottle with the scores from the season. That tape is well worn.

I still have the same Sugar Bowl Game too. I haven't watched it in years.
I used to tape a lot of Cowboys Games back in the 1980s w/Madden & Summarall
calling those games on CBS. I think I still have the Cowboys vs SF 49ers game with
Clark's "Catch" in the end zone for the win.

It's on YouTube now....I watch it every once in a while...Ialso have a couple of 45s....U102....perhaps this should go in the gone but not forgotten thread....

Here's Ozzy .... this was his last time on stage some months ago.

The 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville opened on May 1, 1982. Did you go to the fair?

The 1982 World's Fair opened to a crowd of 87,000 with the theme "Energy Turns the World." A six-month pass to the fair sold for $100.

The fair was constructed on a 70-acre site between Downtown Knoxville and the University of Tennessee campus. The core of the site primarily consisted of a deteriorating Louisville and Nashville Railroad yard and depot. The railroad yard was demolished, with the exception of a single rail line, and the depot was renovated for use as a restaurant during the fair. The Sunsphere, a 266-foot steel tower topped with a five-story gold globe, was built as the main structure and symbol for the exposition. Today, the Sunsphere stands as a symbol for the city of Knoxville.

The fair closed on October 31, 1982 after after receiving over eleven million visitors in six months.

Nope. Never went. I remember all the hoopla around the event.

I was there...6 years old. Somewhere, I have the season pass, along with my parent's passes. Loved every bit of it. Now, I just wish I had been old enough to enjoy the Strohs House. I had a professor at UT who was a designer/developer for some of the site. Man, what a time. Wish I had seen the bama game that year too.

I got a $60 Wal-Mart Gift card in the mail. Problem is ... I don't
go there anymore to shop for things. Before this one, I got one
for $50 that's still in my wallet.
