It is on the DoT list of banned substances for designated safety sensitive driving jobs according to the medicaid transit broker I work for. Which is a load of garbage, but I can't afford to lose my job when I get the inevitable random drug screen. I dod take it before we got the memo last month, and it does help for the normal everyday pain, but it doesn't touch the extreme pain episodes. Only thing that helps that is prescription painkillers, and I have to take a unpaid leave to take them for a few days during extreme episodes...so I just don't and deal with it best I can.

It actually let up a great deal today, thank the Lord, and thanks for all the prayers.

I just don’t understand why our fans don’t show up

Look at historical numbers. We never have showed. Butch had a historical run of high numbers up until 2017. Before that, we broke 36k once in like 25 years. On the opposite end, Fulmer had very low attendance throughout his time and we had 12k show up in 1998...

Seems to me there is no correlation.

And yet they did show up for Butch. They had no trouble overcoming geography and all the other reasons listed tonight, under Jones.
A salesman putting on a carnival type sideshow, not even a football game.

Absolutely everyone's right to do so, just confuses me.

Maybe fans like circuses, idk. Real coaches want real football, so they can make real progress. If that means 40k, 50k Spring games, so be it. Just develop and win. No more circus.

Mostly saddened by the seeing the same slow tempo, 8 man on the line close/power game.

Never gotten why get the defense to load the box. The more blockers you have, the higher the chance of a missed block and ruined play. Not exactly with the times.

Wasn't suggesting keeping the circus.
Just surprised. With Pruitt, we get an extra, real and free football game. I love it, personally.

Thinking 7-8 wins. 6 is the floor 9 is the ceiling IMO.

With both trenches as our weak suits? Seems very optimistic to me. And our offense looks the same as last year. Meanwhile FSU's QB1 threw for 335 in the first half...Briles and all. I'll never get the Chaney hire, but we have to live with him now.

My spring game randoms....

- JG gonna be alright
- Mauer has moxie. Like his future.
- McCoullough will be a Vol great when it’s all said and done.
- Keyton flashed as well
- A lot of true freshman did actually. It’s a spring game so I don’t want to jump the gun but it looks like we have a lot of talented kids coming in we can build around.
- Surprised by Jacquez Jones. Kid looked good out there. Might he be a contributor afterall?
- Can even say the same about Byrd. Looked decent out there as a receiver.
- Nothing from Brandon Johnson. Led the team as a soph and looked good, but was that his peak?
- Is Fil-Aimee still on the team? We were feeding some walk on the ball late. CFA never saw the field that I noticed.
- I heart JJ
- Heads up play by B. Davis to force that fumble. Well done.
- Jackson Lowe looks like a senior more than a freshman. Big kid. Looks good out there.

Overall decent showing. Glad there were no injuries. Would like to see the receivers be more consistent and JG start off a little warmer. Really hard to judge anything because they blew a lot of whistles real fast but this team is on the upswing.
