re: Let’s Talk Tennessee

So, all of those guys missing was worth 16 points? Neyland noise didn’t really matter? Tennessee gave away that game with the Gamecocks. Lane’s Merry Mercenaries will be protecting their draft/NIL/transfer status by the time they arrive in Knoxville. IMO, the trap game for Tennessee will be in College Station. That’s a damn good team in Knoxville and if they take care of business on the road, they’ll be fine for the playoffs.

Summertime Blues by Eddie Cochran


Sucks getting old. I’ve heard that song at least a couple of hundred times! Thank you for the refresher.

They aren't fricking around and are prepared for you hilljacks.


Hilljacks? ANY state that has counties like Pike, Lawrence, Harlan, and ESPECIALLY Boyd should STFU trying to call other states hilljacks. Yes, I have kinfolk in Kentucky. Alabama too in case they want to join the party!

But Seriously- the Texas R ballot was horrible.


South Carolina’s was worse.

Well said!


Once I saw the Upstate come in for Andrews, it was over. Trump thought Lindsay was beloved here. He wasn’t. He just didn’t have a legit alternative, so we kept re-electing him. NOBODY wanted Darline and now you see the result. Want to know who is best relieved about tonight? Darline.
Blame me. I didn’t vote for Darline because she was an AWFUL candidate. We’ll show Andrews the door in six years. Maybe next election the Republican Party will actually give us competent candidates, because I REFUSE to vote for someone just because they have a “R” next to their name. SC survived Biden, we’ll survive Annie Andrews.

I'd like to help you son, but you're too young to vote


Now THAT made me cackle! I think the statute of limitations is long gone, but back in 1976, I “borrowed” my big brother’s voter card and voted. I was 16 years old. I’m pretty sure that was a lyric to a song my mind is drawing a blank on
Four dead in Ohio.

That song brings me to tears to this day, but not for the reason you would think. Everyone involved was a victim, on both sides.

BUT the actual track was magnificent!
My all time favorite today, tomorrow, and when I die, it’s getting played at my funeral:

But I will give whole hog its due. The surgeons took me to Rodney Scott’s the last time I was in Charleston to visit MUSC. Solid.


Sadly, the Charleston location is closed. Love Rodney’s, but he overextended himself with the additional locations and his finance “team” really screwed the pooch. Next time you come to Charleston, come to Lewis’ BBQ. Highly recommended!
THREE pages. It took ME to post Panic! At The Disco. My Morning Jacket is right there with them. Enjoy both bands, but man, those names!

She’s the female Keith Richards. Already preserved. The drugs she went thru are better than ANY embalming fluid!

I do too. I ALWAYS keep the alternative in my mind. Even though my Midshipmen got flattened by Notre Dame…beat Army and all is forgiven!

What happened last night, corch? (Being sarcastic, I know how to spell coach)

Have you gone to the top? Would definitely like to do that one day


Did it last year. If you have a TRACE of claustrophobia, don’t do it. Went to a Cardinals game too. Sure, some of the neighborhoods have seen much better days…but I have kinfolk in Detroit. St Louis is OK in comparison. Highly recommend the Budweiser brewery tour as well!
I have to admit tRant is more fun when Alabama and Auburn fans are at each other’s throats. To this day, I still remember when one of my shipmates planned his leave around the first time Alabama played Auburn at Jordan-Hare. The hordes of Hell weren’t going to keep him from being there!
My oldest granddaughter lost her Nana coming up on 3 years ago now. The first Christmas without Nana, I caught my GD huffing gasoline. I literally spent 48 hours just grieving with her and reminding her that I couldn’t bear to lose her too. I also got rid of anything gas powered in my home as well.

So yes, by all means, monitor your young children. She’s almost 14 now, typical teenager, but she still comes to her Papa when she needs comforting.

I heard that Tennessee security did not let the students on the field till Alabama personnel left the field. They gave Alabama 5 to 10 minutes to clear the field.


Friend, this is tRant. Facts and logic are verboten here.
When I entered the Navy in 1981, Spring Hill, TN was a 2 traffic light town. 1100 residents. Went to visit kin last year, and the population was over 60K. Nashville has already swallowed up Franklin and Spring Hill is next.

Gospel truth. Not only every MLK boulevard, but Rosa Parks as well.

As an aside, I’m loving the fact that the OG MC’s have had enough of the BS passed off as hip hop. Since KRS-One mentioned Premier, here’s his collab with Nas:

So, if Alabama puts 8 in the box like Arkansas did, they should get the same result as the Hogs did. Tulsa did the same thing against Navy. By the 4th quarter, their D gave up yards in chunks anyway.

From what I saw, MacIntyre was charged with just managing the game. I’m pretty sure Coach Heupel will open up the playbook against Bama.
