Today I turned 21!

I've been through more than most people in this small amount of time I've been blessed to be alive, but it's all worth it. Every experience is an opportunity to grow as a person. I wish I could share today with my dad and little brother, but I know they are watching over me every day clad in orange. I'm so happy to be a part of volnation with all you crazies, and even though I'm an ******* at times, it just means I care.

Love all of you, God bless, and Go Big Orange!

Happy Birthday! No better gift than your first game in Neyland - soak it all in... Go Big Orange!!!

I feel like I keep up with this team fairly well, but somehow I've missed the boat on this guy. Who the hell is he?

Why would you draft a backup for Rodgers?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Why would you draft a backup for Rodgers?

Bye week fill in and injury replacement. Nobody expected Peyton Manning to miss an entire season. Injuries happen.

Well this article is absolutely hilarious and impecably accurate. SIAP

Nice potential on that squad especially if Martin can get back to where he was as a rookie

This. I wasn't asking a lot from Bradford, and he screwed it up!

Might need to look into a different kicker. Prater is suspended first 4 games.

Yea i didnt know that when I drafted him so Ill be adding a kicker before the first game. Prater will be solid when he comes back. Also looking to trade for Antonio Gates cause im wearing some powder blue and yellow sunglasses in addition to my orange pair.

 

[VolinArizona]

Today my girlfriend gave me my ticket to the usu game. Next Sunday will be my first game inside of Neyland. I might shed a tear.

As they've said, you will have some tears when the T opens up. You will go crazy during Rocky Top. Some other things:

You will high-five those around you when we have a big play.

You will hug grown men that you barely know on the biggest plays.

You will hear some dumb people yell "Fire Butch" when something bad happens.

Everybody is an expert.

Be kind to those around you, even rival fans.

The talent level hasn't been bad, and the schedule hasn't been a killer over the years - at least by SEC standards - but the process has been really, really, really slow.

Was reading a write up on Tennessee this year, and the above was included. Almost shut the page right then. What the crap? Oregon and Oklahoma out of conference, Bama every year, LSU, Auburn last year...

Who do these jokers want us to play for our schedule to be "killer"?

Loved it.

And that really is the dumbest rule in football, and I thought so before it lost us the GA game.

My league has a $50 buy in and we just started buying in over the past 2 years. Of course, after I had to pay to play last year I finish in 6th after posting 1st and second place in a 13 team league the years before. Im actually the happiest I have been with a draft this year.

QB- Drew Brees
WR- Antonio Brown
WR- Cordarrelle Patterson
WR- Julian Edelman
RB- Reggie Bush
RB- Chris Johnson
TE- Charles Clay
Flex- Maurice Jones-Drew
DEF- Seattle
K- Adam Vinatieri

BN- Mike Evans (Rookie)
BN- Andre Williams (Rookie)
BN- Ben Roethlisberger
BN- James Jones
BN- Jared Cook
BN- Stevie Johnson

Now Im just ready for the Vols to whip errrrrbodys AZZ! :rock:

Nice team, depends how Jones-Drew and Johnson do on new teams. Does your league do an auction draft?

If you aren't scheduling the New England Patriots, you aren't even trying.
