The thing I'm most excited to see next is the fundraising efforts by LSU to fund a contract obligation that they appear unable to meet. Car washes... Candy bars... Golf tourneys... Bake sales... Coupon books...
My granddaughter’s middle school band uses ALL of these, plus an oyster roast happening next month

So glad the service academies don’t have to concern themselves with NIL.

I’m not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but I could have sworn Penn went to the ACC review booth when he left the SEC.

I’m from Tennessee originally but have lived in Alabama as well (Huntsville). Went to Nashville for my birthday. For the first time in memory, I-65 was damn near a parking lot from Old Hickory down to 396. It used to take me 45 minutes from Nashville to Columbia. Not happening now

Now that I’m retired and a widower, I’m THERE when Tennessee finally plays Texas. I’ve been to Army-Navy. TN-TX is going to be glorious!

It is really hard to evaluate coaches at smaller programs these days without knowing the programs commitment to NIL. At one time Liberty had some pretty good players. They may now be getting plucked by bigger schools with deeper pockets. His results at Charleston Southern and Coastal Carolina were very impressive.
There’s 2 programs he would like to run. Tennessee and Virginia Tech. His roots are in Appalachia. I met the man when he was coaching Charleston Southern. He WON at CHARLESTON SOUTHERN. Let that sink in. Just for curiosity’s sake, if you’re ever driving to Charleston on I-26, take a 3 minute detour off the US Route 78 exit. CSU is right off the interstate. Take a look at the facilities he had to work with. There are high schools with better stadiums AND football budgets. I thought VA Tech would grab him, but I guess they were snobbish about bringing him over from Liberty.

Much of this is correct, especially the part about the sand, but the main issue is combining all you said with the fact that its downwind of predominately westerly winds ascending down to a very low elevation a pretty good distance from the coast. The city is anywhere from 150-250 feet above sea level. Atlanta, while on almost the same latitude, is 1050 feet above sea level with no obstruction of cooler air from the north and west.
Checking in from Goose Creek (Charleston metro). Charleston can get absolutely hellish until the sea breeze kicks in. The problem with Columbia is that there’s no sea breeze. Ever. I will say that Columbia back in my younger days was my second favorite college town. Athens was my favorite! If you couldn’t get laid in Athens as a hetero male, you weren’t trying

The origin of “Neck”
LINK the original version
The HBCUs bands started playing Neck back in the 70’s. Today, it’s everywhere. LSU made it notorious, and it made me smile seeing Ole Miss use their profane lyrics against them!

Ole Miss playing Washington State and the Citadel
Lane will hang 100 on The Citadel. The Bulldogs are awful this season, even by SoCon standards. If ANY of his starters play after the 1st quarter, he should be charged with coaching malpractice

Being told that Jack Daniels is legally a bourbon really chaps their arse.
The difference between bourbon and Tennessee sipping whiskey is the EXTRA step…the Lincoln County Process. In short, anybody can make bourbon. Not everybody can make Tennessee whiskey. I’ve had Japanese whisky that will match up with anything from Kentucky. Scotland is still the gold standard for scotch tho!

frick off with this nonsense, your state does a shite job with water management up in the northwest of the state. You don't deserve access to the Tennessee River, you got an ocean, figure that shite out.
I’m still trying to figure out what the deal with Lake Oconee is. Is Georgia afraid of draining that reservoir? SC has no issues with Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie.

Are you guys new to the SEC? They will have their REC stipend bonus cut by 15% for this being so public a frickup but you might as well go to the gump board to complain about refs. The REC hired and control the officiating
THIS is the difference between the SEC and the rest of college football. I’ve been a Navy fan for over 40 years. I can’t name an officials crew that called a Navy game. SEC? I know Penn Wagers (before he went to the ACC) and in basketball, TV Teddy Valentine lives in the same neighborhood as my best friend. The officials are just as known as the coaches!
re: Does anybody actually like Tennessee?
Posted by Uatu on 9/21/25 at 10:39 am to travelgamer
Actually, I do when I’m not rooting for Navy and Tennessee State. This board has only reinforced my growing fondness for the Vols. East Tennessee is beautiful, and Middle Tennessee isn’t far behind. West Tennessee is meh, tho. Beale Street is the only reason I even visit Memphis.

But instead of beer it should be whiskey
Just found out that there’s a newcomer in Tennessee whiskey. Rattle and Snap. I grew up less than 5 miles away from Rattle and Snap Farm, but I think R&S whiskey was named after the old game of chance rather than the old plantation. Taking some back to SC and let my buddies know why SC can’t produce good whiskey (it’s the water).

The Naval Academy Prep School is in Newport, RI. They can definitely transfer to the Naval Academy upon graduation from prep school. I am assuming that the other service academies have the same programs as well.

The '92 Bama D was fun to watch but I remember my Dad telling me about a '38 Vol D (I think maybe it was, or maybe early 40s) that went un scored upon and untied .... all season.
The 1939 Tennessee team. Undefeated, untied, and didn’t give up a single point during the regular season. They did lose to USC in their bowl game, but Coach Neyland always treated their bowl games as a reward for the regular season. That team will always be immortal because that record will NEVER be broken

Surprised that you didn't include Coastal Carolina, College of Charleston, Charleston Southern and Newberry College on your list.
The Citadel would like a word. Unfortunately after getting shelled by North Dakota State this past Saturday, they are confined to campus
