So glad too, 3 games all they did was talk about that Nebraska pitcher.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Yes, was my bday. No, took wife out. My daughters bday is today. We will celebrate her bday (important one) today as a family.

Was in Elizabethton briefly yesterday.

Looked like a big car show going on. Lot of hot rods.

Going with my Neighbor out on Douglas Lake tomorrow if no rain and do a little Bass fishing...

We've got church tomorrow.

I got dumped from a fishing trip for a Family Reunion. I despise Family Reunions, you see family you don't talk to but that one day out of the year and they act like they've been around you since birth. I needed to go to Church anyway...


Family Reunions isn't nothing but Free Food.

 

[Jackcrevol]

The haul would have to be absolutely massive

All those wieners, that's @Jackcrevol 's heaven. He loves wieners. Especially when they're between the buns.

Nope. Lost to the Bammers in Super Regional in Knoxville.. went in 2023.

They go a lot, so easy mistake to make.

 

[knoxvol52]

As of right now looks like 5 SEC teams will be in WCWS...

Tennessee
Florida/ Georgia
Arkansas/ Mississippi


UCLA is beating South Carolina right now 2-0 bottom 6th..



BTW: Vanderbilt won SEC tournament 2-0 over Mississippi.. in men's baseball

I think they lost to Bama in the Supers

College Softball has won me over, the emotions these young ladies show on the field is heart warming. They make very little NIL money but they don't care they play for the love of the game and their school.

 

[gainesvol82]

Yeah she has fond memories of it! I’ve yet to visit. I couldn’t think of living outside of east TN. Plenty of houses need roofs here too, ya know

Yeah, I love East Tennessee like no other place on earth and will eventually retire to my little condo in Powell that I grew up in as a teen. But between my wife and her family, my kids growing up here and me liking the area/jobs/water activities and all the concerts/attractions you could want within 2.5 hours.....it will be another 25 years at least before I move back home.

Maybe 5-10 years less if this roofing gig pans out like I hope, my family trust remains steady (not millions but a nice chunk of retirement help, about 8 to 10 years of comfortable living expenses) and the value of my house holds steady, or more likely starts increasing again.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Just a reminder.
When you start to bash our current sports teams, think about what we have endured and rejoice in our current level of success in every sport!

Go Vols!

My momma never liked Phil Fulmer. Majors fan forever.

As was my dad, he never cared much for Phil either. Dad died in 95 and never got to see the national championship..........don't know if that would have changed his feelings about Fulmer, he thought he back stabbed Majors and done him dirty.

That’s awesome man. I also grew up in Powell and still live here now! Awesome place to have kids grow up.

And sounds like you’re well on your way to a couple mils in the retirement acct hahaha
