C’mon, man. Vandy can actually work with Tennessee as far as that goes. Tiger High? Please.

I can guarantee you that this particular situation WILL be addressed before next season.

About time. She missed the plate and got help from her teammate. Finish the job before you celebrate

I’m at a sports bar right now. Klimpson fans want their coach fired mid game. Carolina fans are loving it.

Let’s be honest here. How many wives WON’T light money on fire (given the opportunity and resources)? Hell, my daughter in law considers me her personal financial institution!
Time to find new material, because this is bombed out and depleted. Newsflash: The OTHER team gets to hit in that ball park too. I suppose that Wrigley and Fenway Parks are Little League Parks right alongside Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. The Tennessee hatred on this board is stupefying at this point. Has Serraneux punked y’all out THIS throughly? You want Little League dimensions? My Dad used to tell me about the Polo Grounds when the Giants and Mets played there. Even though dead center was over 480 feet, left at around 290 and right at 275 made up for deep center!
For as much hate as Tennessee receives on this board, the Vols can claim the 1st black QB in the SEC. Condredge “The Artful Dodger” Holloway. He was also the first black baseball player as well. You want REAL racism? That guy should have played in the NFL. Ended up in Canada. His style reminds me of Fran Tarkenton and Archie Manning (yeah, I’m old).

Darius Rucker. He grew up with my best friend. He might be (former) Hootie and the Blowfish, but when he’s back home, he’s Darius and the hood will let him KNOW if he’s not for real! My late wife really wanted him to sing at our wedding, but he had prior commitments. I don’t know him as well as Chuck does, but he’s always been a good dude around me!
I think Wildcat Mike needs to concentrate on getting his football team to beat Tennessee more than once or twice a decade. Don’t think it’s going to happen this year either, even with them losing Nico.

re: SEC States with the best BBQ

4/4/25 at 8:29 pm to bleedsgarnet Ive lived in TN for going on 5 years now, coming from TX. TN BBQ is arse. We have tried a lot of places in central and east TN and it is mediocre at best. Maybe Memphis is where the good BBQ is, I guess? The rest of the state is garbage.


Where ARE you eating ‘que in Tennessee? I HOPE it’s not at a roadside shack, because they’re second to none in my experience. Sit down places in central/East TN ARE hit or miss tho!

I pick ‘que joints by the following: if their pit boss is a “pit master”, then that’s a hard pass for me. “Pit boss? Yes, please!” Pit man/chief works as well.

Kids don’t start giving back to the school immediately upon graduation… most begin doing that in their late ‘30s and early ‘40s. Those instate kids that Bama neglected are all about 25-45 now and they are just recently noticing they don’t have as big of a doner pool as they thought they would after rapid enrollment increases.


I went to a game at The Citadel last season.At halftime, they announced that the Class of 2004 raised 117 thousand in contributions for the school for that single game. The Class of 1984? 2.2 million. Money speaks loudly in athletics, and the older generation comes up with more of it!

Born in Kansas. Raised in Tennessee. Currently living in SC. And have spent time in every state in between (and I will include Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana).

Overall: Tennessee. If Tennessee could dump Memphis and pick up Huntsville, it would be the best state in the country! Because screw Alabama, Huntsville belongs in Tennessee.

Diversity: South Carolina. Can’t go wrong with mountains AND beaches! Same thing with Georgia, but the ATL is the millstone around GA’s neck. SC has the same problem with Columbia, but Columbia ain’t Atlanta!


Food: Louisiana. No contest and I live in Charleston! No need to get into specifics. Except for…


BBQ: Memphis. Most folks know the tourist trap joints. Memphis is the absolute BEST “side of the road, place that family runs, no Internet presence whatsoever, bbq shacks area in America. Bar none. Having said that, Arkansas or Mississippi can make claim to Memphis tomorrow and Tennessee will say “You’re welcome to it!”

There’s all kinds of issues with satellite feeds today. Even my local radio station had problems.

Women’s bball. If that’s all Texas can offer, Tennessee has no future issues with the ‘Horns.

Speaking of which…if I ever have a billion or two to spare, I’d give it to Sewanee to rejoin the SEC. Their chancellor screwed them over. There was NO excuse whatsoever for Tulane and GA Tech to leave the league. Tulane was more successful than Vandy in actually competing for championships. Bobby Dodd pulled GT out because he was mad at Bear Bryant. Hey, Bobby. Robert Neyland beat the Bear. Taking your ball and going home wasn’t the answer!

This post makes no sense whatsoever. Tenner doesn’t have gymnastics. This IS tRant, but please rant about something other than nonsense. Much obliged.
