Hello everyone. We are new to the site.

 

[ArdentVol]

Me too, some specifically would request cokes that were less full to make room. Those guys made the best tippers, especially if we were winning.

i usually worked lower west side, and ventured up later in afternoon
never worked a night game and never worked student section
years later a fellow worker with me my from tyson years became chief of concessions at ut

I moved on to drinkin and decent bbq in 3.2 state with 25 cent cigarette machines throughout every dorm

This is fantastic, gotta love French’s for posting this.

Lane Kiffin tried to troll the Vols with a golf ball but Tennessee brought the mustard and got the last laugh.

Last night couldn't have gone much better for our guys. Offense was firing, Chase was incredible, Mark and Kirby fantastic in relief, and our bullpen wasn't taxed. The only downside was Evan getting dinged in the hand by that foul ball. That must've hurt like h***. Since he was still able to make a fist and we haven't heard anything since, hopefully that's a good sign that his hand is not seriously injured.

The atmosphere also didn't faze our guys one bit which was my biggest pregame concern.

Ole Miss was embarrassed last night, so I suspect they'll play with more conviction tonight with the opportunity to even the series. Bring it on!

I'm taking things one game at a time, and not focused on anything but the current game. While it's tempting to look ahead, I've learned the hard way that in doing so, I don't give the moment its full due. So, I'm just sitting back and soaking everything in.

Let's get the series win tonight!

We shut down that “atmosphere” pretty early last night.
GBO!!

Braves have the bases loaded w/a 6-4 lead. The Twins are in hot water.

Did you make any money then or eat everything you could grab for free?

As a 15 year old, it felt like I was rich.

I knew Jim. He was a nice guy, cared about his neighborhood as well. Knew my late grandfather from their overlap at the university. A good guy.
