Nothing like a New Year to bitch & gripe at the officials that are so blind they just can't see ...
Michigan's Roman Wilson upset over 'bulls---' overturned touchdown call vs TCU

I think people are more upset that whenever we have replay they still don’t get it right. Happens every game. Might as well not even have replay in sports if they aren’t going to get it right. At least you used to could say that there wasn’t replay so we just had to move on. Now we have the technology to get every call right and they still find a way to mess it up.

That was the missed TD call of the century & I do feel for Michigan. The Vols have certainly gotten calls like that in their games where the officials are helping the other team to stay in..

The amazing thing on that one is I think it was originally called correctly as a TD and then switched on replay, although I could be mistaken. If so, that’s the worst case scenario, getting it correct in real time and then switching to a dumb call. Michigan got robbed on that one (next play was fumble), but still don’t feel bad for them 😁

They had Peyton and Luck all those years. Don’t feel sorry for them.

Feels like it's been a lifetime since we've had either one of them. Miss them for sure.

Maybe they need to call Sister Jean.

I'd do whatever it took to get a franchise QB and get back to winning. This season has been a real struggle but for some reason, I can't turn them off.

Once upon a time, I worked for the only company that produced a polio vaccine.

Not sure if serious, but, my hat is off to you sir. I got polio in the 50s but the doctors caught it while in it's early stages. Put me in bed for 3 months straight which was prison for a kid.
I received that vaccine shot (once or twice; not sure as I was 5). Damn vaccine worked wonders for millions of kids world wide. One of the greatest inventions in science & medicine at the time.

Maybe y'all can draft Joe Milton to help come save the day in 2024. Another TN Vols QB.

I sat here and watched that thrashing we got yesterday. It seems to be getting worse. We've been outscored by a ton since our loss to Minnesota a few weeks ago. Defense had been keeping us in these games but it seems like they've finally given up too.

I almost want the Titans to lose and solidify a top 10 pick. If they win and get put out in the 1st round they will be in the 19-22 range. That’s a big difference. Only thing I am rooting for at this point is Josh Dobbs.

Yes, the name of the company was Lederle labs. We were the only maker of polio, and the primary producer of many children’s vaccines. Thanks for letting me know about your history as that is so awesome to hear. Unfortunately, vaccine makers got a lot of bad press, even though they wiped out or severely limited many childhood diseases: Measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, chicken pox, and of course, polio.
