Well... yeah... but I lied.

As long as I’m coming clean, I’m not private investigator of leprechauns or a live cat painter either.

Well that's just great. I guess my cat isn't getting painted to look like an M1A1 Abrams tank? The whole plan is ruined.

Vols podcasts....

Any recommendations?

Rocky Top Talk by Josh Ward and Rocky Top Insider by Nathaniel Rutherford are pretty good. Volquest when they put them out is very well done and I prefer to listen to the Erik Ainge Show on podcast so I can scroll through the weak stuff.

There was nothing fraud about Tyson when he was under the guidance of Cus.

That Tyson was the baddest man in the planet.

Ali was also pure greatness. Couldn't speculate as to who would win between the two, but it would've been amazing to see.

Finally, a reasonable evaluation about greats from two different eras. You get a like, sir.

Yes, nice take.

I'm sticking with Ali because Foreman was in his prime and held in the same regard as Tyson when Ali knocked him out.

The loosening of the ropes had a lot to do with that win. Ali also was the reason extra gloves must be at ringside. Ali was out on his feet and Angelo Dundee sliced his glove . Took twenty minutes to get him a new glove. He recovered and won the fight.

History of cheating.

Okay, guys, I could use some help.

I had a shelf fall in my home office last night and everything (mostly books) crashed down on a file cabinet. On top of the file cabinet was a replica of Neyland Stadium and unfortunately it has been damaged beyond repair.

The Neyland replica was top quality. It was mounted on a stone base, about 8" x 12" and about 3-4 inches high. There is a decal on the with the name Sports Collectors Guild but I found nothing similar to it on their web site. My Google searches thus far haven't resulted in anything either...I'm starting to think these sort of replicas aren't offered any longer.

Any ideas or suggestions as to where I might find something very similar? Thanks in advance...

Hey, Chuckie...yes, I saw that earlier. It looks like it is a dated replica and the one I had was more recent...included the skyboxes on the one side and this one appears to only have the pressbox.

But, it's starting to feel like I'm not going to find anything like the one I have...may not be in a position of being choosy. By the way, the one that got damaged had been signed by Fulmer. ****.

For those who were joking about the Lego kits. I did see them somewhere, believe it or not! Here's a link to an article:

I just pictured the following Alabama scenario:

Male Bama fan: Honey it's the stadium or trailer payment.

Wife of Bama fan: They got the free shipping?

Male Bama fan : Yep and for twenty dollars more a Tennessee fan will put it together for us.

Wife of Bama fan: Roll Tide!

Slowly starting to feel better about this team.

Have heard some good news about the QB progression especially. You’d be surprised how backward some of Butch’s teaching of things like throwing progression and timing was.

Well, I mean that’s basically it. Lol. Guarantano is benefitting greatly from actually being coached to throw the ball appropriately.

This offensive staff is night and day on things like footwork, dropback timing, progression reads, etc.

It may not all click Year 1, and I certainly wouldn’t rule out Chryst coming in and getting the job, but it’s something to be optimistic about going forward with JG, Shrout, and future signings.

I fell for the Tyson hype just like everybody else my age did. Tyson destroyed a bunch of scared tomato cans that were beat before they ever stepped in the ring, and I don't buy the garbage that Tyson somehow forgot how to box becsuse Cus D'amato died..it's not rocket science.

When he finally ran into somebody that wasn't afraid of him and had some skill..he got destroyed...Buster Douglas absolutely destroyed him..."The baddest man on the planet" doesn't get destroyed by Buster "barely motivated for one fight in his life" Douglas..

Go watch the Tony Tucker fight on YT, when I watched TT give all he could handle, that was the first time I really realized he was not the greatest. If you want to understand what Ali would have done to Mike, then watch that fight.

Tony Tucker gave him all he could handle, and took everything he threw at him, and at the height of his so called prime...if you think he could beat Ali after watching that you are delusional. Tony Tucker wasn't even on the same planet skill wise as Muhammad Ali..He just wasnt scared.

Prime Ali would have decimated that little overhyped freak.

I've found that surprised, backward and Butch often collide in the same sentence. Anybody else notice that?
