The Topic That Will Never Die

Many years ago, a man christened by his parents as Vol_Freak (the underscore is even on his birth certificate) started a website for he and his buddies to bestow upon themselves the hardcoreness of an e-mail address with the Vols in the website title.
 
Out of curiosity, he decided he'd get a message board started. He got a few of his friends and some minimal attention. A fun place for some Vols fans to talk, but nothing much. This time wouldn't be long-lived, though.
 
Some more joined and started posting regularly.

U-T was a marine with an overbearing ability to derail threads and start posting pictures of nekked ladies.

LadyInOrange was a hardcore Vols fan as well, but also a third-grade teacher and appointed herself queen of the new website. She used to post with a yard stick in hand, ready to slap some fingers if anybody got out of line.

MemphisVol was enigmatic and very bright. He is Yoda, as well. And Yoda is the effing man.

orangetd88 was... Quick, look at the pretty girl in his signature!

There were more that posted early on.
 
They discussed some recruiting as well as other topics before the start of the 2004 football season... Some of these topics included hot dogs. *cough*
 
But then the 2004 season started. Many more joined. This kid found it off google after seeing one of his homeboys take snaps against UNLV. Many others joined and rejoiced as the Vols went on to defeat the Gators. How glorious that game was
 
Many more joined after that... Even rival boards started taking notice.

Plenty of Bammer idiots were had.

Then there was TruthTeller... He and the statistical mastermind that is allvol battled it out.
 
And in a tremendous orange light, allvol proved victorious over the grade-A douche bag that was the TruthTeller. What an ass. We all hated that guy.
 
Many more trials were had throughout the season... We all suffered through that first terrible Auburn loss. We took a pride hurting. Until the next week, when the Vols took down GEORGIA IN ATHENS and BARELY MOVED UP IN THE FREAKING POLLS. WERE THE GUYS AT ESPN THAT STUPID??!??!?! WTF!!!!
 
But, it was all good. We went out and whipped up on Bammer. But then, against the promiscuously named Cocks, one of the two Fab Freshmen was injured. Things looked pretty grim for Brent Schaeffer, the QB some liked to call "Mini-Vick". Things were left up to Ainge, and even though the Vols defense gave up mass points to the Cocks towards the end of the game, the Vols offense was able to start matching the South Carolinians point for point for a margin of victory that was still impressive.
 
But what followed next week would become the low-point of the 2004 season...

The wee little people of Notre Dame had been going through much turmoil that season, because of high standards for their athletes and overbaring boosters. Even despite a win over the considerably strong Michigan, Notre Dame was destined for a level of mediocrity among the big D-IA schools. It seemed as if Tennessee had this game in the bag. After all, it was in Neyland stadium.
 
The first quarter went well enough, with Tennessee going into the second half with a 10-7 lead. The Domers always seemed to lose steam in the second half, so it was alright. Then Erik Ainge stepped back into what would turn out to be one of the most fateful shotgun sets of his career... The Notre Dame pass rush attacked the line, and sacked Ainge for 14. And he didn't get back up... In a week's time, Tennessee's Fab Freshman quarterbacks were both done for the season. It was now up to Rick Clausen to try and step it up...

But, we all know what happened next... The Vols offense was never to get anything going for the rest of the game, and Notre Dame pulled off a stunner in the Heart and Soul of Knoxville.
 
The VolNation bared it, not without troubles, though, but moved on. Better things were still around the corner. Vanderbilt and Kentucky were around the corner, so a pair of guaranteed wins is always a nice way to finish out the season.

Rick Clausen and the offense started doing some great things against those opponnents. A practically nonexistant Vols defense kept the games close, but the Vols won anyways. Why wouldn't they? Of course, the SECCG was just around the corner. The defense just has to step up, and we've got a legit shot at taking down mighty Auburn. The little team that could vs. the big retarded giant.
 
So the SECCG happened. There were some questionable calls against the Vols, but in the end, the young inexperienced Vols defense could simply not hang with Jason Campbell and company, and the game was lost. The Vols played far better than anybody expected them to, however, so the game was still somewhat of a moral victory even in defeat. Plus, these guys went undefeated in the SEC. I mean, come on...
 
'Twas the glorious bowl season afterwards. Many-a-thing were discussed; the legitimacy of Utah's BCS bid, the absolutely magnificent Liberty Bowl, the Minnesota marching band gracing Alabama with Rocky Top, and of course, the glorious, glorious Cotton Bowl. I seem to remember something... Three and a half point spread. Wasn't it in Texas A&M's favor? HA! The Orange Bowl shocked many as well. What was supposed to be one of the most evenly matched and best national championship games turned out to be a spank-fest, USC delivering a mean one to Big XII champion Oklahoma. Guess Jason White could never pull off the big one. Suckers.
 
Then the Vols got a sweet recruiting class, and are poised to kick 31 flavors of ass in the coming 2005 season.

Happy offseason everyone :peace2:
 
Bear and a rabbit were walking in the woods. Bear asked the rabbit if he had a problem with s*** sticking to its fur. Rabbit said NO! So, the bear picked him up and wiped his a**.

(Check the stuff out on pages 190-192 +-. Me and volman jr had it going on a couple weeks ago.).

nice to see everyone bringing this thread back to honor, nice story Milo, but I am hurt not even a nod to your post padding mentor, you cut me deep man deep.
 
yeah there has been lots of sqabbles and redundant threads poppin up on the board lately, all newbies should be required to read this thread from front to back to see into the warped minds of some of our members and take a quiz on which topics have been beat to death for months before they can post and the first post should be in here to help keep the dream alive!
