Congrats! Exciting times for your grandkid....and his parents and you. What position?


He was signed as a defensive lineman but the long term plan is to move to SAM linebacker. Kid has plenty of heart but he’s undersized even by D2 standards! If he and his brother could switch bodies, Josh would play in the SEC (his ‘little’ brother is 6’5” and 300 lbs)
Since today is National Signing Day, my oldest grandson signed his letter of intent with Erskine College today. Yes, Division II isn’t SEC, but I couldn’t be prouder of him! And to top it off, his brother gets to go thru the same process next year.
When I was in college, part of my tuition was was paid by work/study. I used to volunteer to call women’s flag football, because in every game someone would always get pantsed! Good times
Brother, I live in Goose Creek. When Bobby Hartin’s show comes on at 3 this afternoon, it’s gonna be must listen radio!
It’s sad when Joe Fan knows who the officials are. The best officials, regardless of the sport, are incognito

This all probably sounded brilliant in his head


Just for grins and giggles, I did some math. I’m 65 years old. Kentucky hasn’t reached double digit wins against Tennessee since I have been alive. Kinda like Navy against Notre Dame. I’d leave UT be when it comes to football, UK fan.
This board bags on Tennessee enough to the point where I WANT to see the Vols win a championship (besides baseball). There’s 8 regular posters who’s heads would explode, and I’m going to be here for it!

Not in basketball. I had time to make up my losing a lead to UK meme and get it posted pretty quickly. We've been losing hoops games to you guys forever. The students at the game were hyped up though. They got to enjoy halftime anyway.


At the end of the day, it’s about the students and the alumni. Not the t-shirt fans, the gamblers, nor the casual onlookers. I watched the end of the game and the students were in their glory until Kentucky’s Hail Mary was answered.

A Tolkien reference on tRant? Well played.
I haven’t listened to Finebaum in years. TODAY…it’s a must-listen

As I get older, I very seldom drink bourbon. My stepsons gave me some Blanton’s that I have never broken the seal on. Tonight I’m having Martell
Same as it ever was. Beat Army!
79 here in Charleston. Record high for Christmas Day
As a widower who was previously divorced from a black woman (2nd wife was white)…societal norms are ever present. Black guys accepted my 2nd wife, no problem. White women wanted to know how my wife landed me! Black women? I was the Antichrist! If looks could kill, she would have been dead since 2011. But God kept us together until Dec 7, 2023. The last thing in the world I’m going to do is judge Coach Moore, because he could be me. I was blessed and he ended up being cursed. I pray that he can overcome his demons.

doubt illegals give a shite about Hoosiers vs Buckeyes.


4 of my grandsons (3 different households) were born after 2009. ALL 4 of them watched the game. Not one of them is a illegal alien.
Robert Neyland had the correct idea for bowl games over 75 years ago. He treated bowl games as a reward for the regular season. That cost Tennessee at least 2 additional mythical national championships (if my old timer memory still serves). Today’s bowl games and participating teams would be well served by going back to the past and treating the game as a reward for the regular season. You don’t need to bring EVERYONE associated with the athletic department. You don’t have to bring the bands. You don’t have to use the game as an excuse to have practices. Treat the bowl experience as a break even as far as costs to the program goes. It can be done

If these opt out trends continue, they’re going to be asking some 4-8 teams


North Dakota State got upset Saturday. They’re 12-1. I would actually watch them play a D-1 team in a bowl

Well…Bill Murray is still Director of Fun for the River Dogs. The SNL reference is still apropos!

A tear just rolled down my cheek. I’m officially a dirty old man now, because I was thinking “man, if I was 30 years younger!”

Maybe it’s a cultural thing but I know a guy whose family name is on an SMU building that drinks Jim Beam. Also know four guys that own medical practices and drink Busch Light.


It’s cultural. My best friend is worth 7 figures and goes (figuratively) through DTs if he drinks any beer other than Bud or Busch. The few times he drinks hard liquor is only gin and juice.
