My dad passed away back in 2015 and him and my mom has a storage building out back and it has been packed for years and I just never went through any of it for my own reasons but here lately me and my wife has started going through their stuff to see what is even there and what we need to keep and get rid of. My dad had 5 4ft long storage bins stacked in a corner, we started there and opened them up and all 5 had nothing but record albums in them and some opened and some not. If I had to guess there were at least 600 in them. So we just put the lids back on and moved on. Then I opened another box praying that it was not another one with records. I found this Tennessee jacket,it was wrapped in a bag and I have never seen my dad in this jacket not 1 time. It looks like it has never been worn. It actually a heavy jacket. There were Tn pillows in this box and I never knew my dad buying Tn things.He would always buy Army things. It was just interesting. We stopped after that.View attachment 757320View attachment 757321

Bought some penny stocks in a place called "aquaclara" in about 1999. I still remember the ticker was AQCB. It was supposed to be the news rave in bottled water. "Oxygenated" bottled water.

I got it for like $.004, 😂. It went up to about $.08 I think. I should've sold it, but a man at work convinced me it was going up to $1+. Shortly after $.08 it fell below what I paid for it. It was only about $150 worth, but still wish I had sold it at it's high. Would've been a 2 or 3 thousand $ if I remember correctly.

My mom was looking through some of my grandpa’s old stuff and found some of these old tickets from when he had season tickets. Pretty cool because he was there at the Tennessee/bama game when it was Bear Bryant’s last year there, and Bear was smoking a cigar before the game leaned up against the north goal post and my Grandpa was able to smell the smoke from it. Also, insane that tickets were only $10 back then

He's a really good player, but I wouldn't quite say that we can't afford to lose him.

Not true. He is our best DB not named McCoy and we have little depth. JT isn’t going to play this year and if Boo can’t play, we take a major hit talent wise. Don’t forget he likely returns this year for us too on special teams. Would be a huge loss for a team short on depth at DB. We have talent this year but not great depth at areas (DB, Interior DL, WR). Few injuries and were in big trouble.

Still wish they grabbed another DT from the portal.

Looks like the top three with be: Bishop, Lewis, and Thomas. Could Morris see time in the return game to get him some playing time?

Naw… Morris shocked and if he learns the offense and blocking, he will play more than people think. He is likely our most talented back and just has to put it together. He turned some heads and I hope they let him loose sooner rather than later.

Bishop may not have the same talent level as others but that dude out in work and is a tank now. If he kept some speed and keeps his me against the world grit going, he will have a great year.

I wonder if we’re going back to an attacking style defense this year. Our first two years we blitzed all the time and not nearly as much the past few. But we had a lot more depth and we slowed our offense down. I am wondering if they plan to play West and Bailey inside more and add an extra rusher like Ross to SDE to get more pressure. Our starting DBs can all play press man and can be trusted so we can try more blitzes and getting to the QB. Guess we will see what the offense and defense looks like once the season gets rolling. It would make more sense with a gunslinger at QB. Need more possessions and turnovers since we will have more turnovers but also more TDs for us. Should be interesting.
