I mean capacity is 153,000. Do the math


maybe due to both teams being from the Appalachians, but I read that as "do the meth."

Bristol is great to watch a NASCAR race, but I'm not so sure about a football game. I do know that from the upper seats the view of the infield during a race is nt very good, I can only imagine trying to focus in on 22 ants on a green field.

Actually no. Bristol has a pretty sizeable African American population for the area.


Thought I'd look it up...

Bristol Population - 26,666 (est. 2015)
Bristol African American Population - 2.97%

That would mean that there are approximately 790 black people in Bristol...with both football teams coming in...there will be fewer black people on the field than in the city.

ETA...revised due to math...

Look, all I know is that fat little SOB who runs North Korea is going to be jealous of this. He'll probably attach someone to one of their rockets or something to express his unhappiness.

Must watch TV. I have seen thr faces of 100,000 Vol fans in the 4th quarter when they know Butch is about to do something idiotic, but I can't wait to see 150,000 do it.

On that note what do you Vol fans predict the fan break down between you and VT?

This is a serious question. I'm not trolling.

Why? Yes, UT and VT both have passionate fanbases, but this is hardly a game for the ages, and wasn't even before the underwhelming first week. What factors are they looking at that lead them to predict that turnout?

Bristol may break another record as the biggest swimming pool in the world as well with all the tears that will be shed. Should be fun to watch! Brick by brick , y'all!

I predict UT 70%, VT 30% and at best for VT 35%.

I am actually looking forward to going down. It is going to be a sh!tshow and I am going to love every minute of it.

Heck, I even got seats for the Kenny Chesney concert on Friday night there...the redneck quotient is going to be great.

And UT by 17 points. Our OL is a disaster, and our MLB would not start for Appy State

Looking forward to drinking, people watching, and my hangover on Sunday
