Paul addresses this in Romans 7:15-20. This is the struggle with our humanity.

Saw an immaculate FJ62 yesterday on the road with zero quarter panel rust. Apparently, they do exist.

I've probably watched this scene 2 dozen times in my life, and I still can't get through it without welling up.

After the MIZZOU game, I would have laughed at anyone saying this, but after the last 2 games...I totally see where you are coming from.
While Heupel hasn't set the world on fire, Tennessee was picked to finish 9th in the SEC during Media Days.

This year's CFP Championship will be played on January 19th in Miami, FL.
So, it's the 3rd Monday in January...you get your choices of places to play:
Miami, FL - OR...
- Columbus, OH - historically the average high is 36F and the low is 22F with around a 35% chance of snow. Big stadium, crappy weather...
- Bloomington, IN - and their 56,000 seat capacity stadium. Crap stadium and crappier weather.
- Provo, UT - and their 63,000 seat capacity stadium - even crappier weather than Ohio
- Lubbock, TX - 60,000 capacity stadium in crap-hole part of Texas "Happiness is Lubbock, Texas in the rear view mirror"
Sure...Hard Rock Stadium only holds about 65,000 people...but it's in Miami, so you have a week of sunshine and the beach before you go to the game.

re: Which Brad Pitt movie is better, “Legends of the Fall” or “A River Runs Through It”?
Posted by madmaxvol on 11/6/25 at 9:46 am to theantiquetiger
The best line in "A River Runs Through It"
"They were Methodists - a denomination my father always referred to as Baptists who could read."
ETA...I haven't thought about that movie in a long time...now I've got to find somewhere to stream A River Runs Through It. Damnit!!!

Matt Zollers has played 20ish minutes of college football.
You beat Central Arkansas by 55 points...Zollers threw 3 passes (took 13 snaps)
You beat Louisiana by 42 points...Zollers threw 2 passes (took 24 snaps)
You beat UMass by 36 points...Zollers threw 1 pass (took 5 snaps)
Through the first 7 games, he played a total of 43 snaps.
His lack of playing time sounds like a poor coaching decision in early blowouts.

Go back and look at the pictures posted on here. How many pictures taken after 2000 are the pants covering the player's knees?

The world had like 3 colors in 1908. Black, white and brown. Those got mixed to shades of gray. Haven't you ever seen old photographs? The world did turn colors until the 1930s and even then it was grainy color at best....
Steven Spielberg was talking to his dad before shotting Saving Private Ryan. He said that he thought about shooting it all in black and white like he did with Schindler's List. His dad asked him why and he said, "all of the news reels that we saw about the war were in black and white". His dad said, "son...I fought in WWII. Believe me...it was in color".
Color existed everywhere else in the country before 1930, except for Tennessee.

Why do you think they decided to go orange instead?
It was already the Official School color, but they didn't wear orange jerseys until one game in 1922.
re: Pistol Pete: 44 points per game

They asked someone if Pistol's scoring record could ever be broken. They said, "sure...with today's 3-point line...all you have to do is make 15 3-pointers every game for your collegiate career".
Dale Brown said they went back and tracked Maravich's shots and that if he had a 3-point line, he would have averaged 57 points per game.

Teams that don't have black as a primary color shouldn't wear black uniforms. So that eliminates everyone except Uga, Mizzou and South Cakalaki....
Tennessee's football uniforms were black before they were orange.
Here is their 1908 uniform
Here is 1914
Here is the 1922 team
They didn't start wearing orange until around 1925.

Is Terry still coaching? It doesn’t show anything on his Wikipedia page after 2019.
He is a pharmaceutical sales rep, living in Knoxville. Pruitt was such a turd to him (and his family) that he asked Fulmer for a buyout. The school acted like he was let go, but they actually offered him an administrative post after they hired Ansley. He told Fulmer that he couldn't work for a coach like Pruitt and asked if they would just buy him out and let him go do other things. He still lives for UT football, and is a great guy.

Some scouting reports say he is not mobile at all. Not sure if true but I’d have to think that factors in.
His 40 times that I've seen haven't been great, and I'm guessing that is the knock on him. On3did an update last week on some of their top QBs and he was included. I would add that, with the RB that he has ( David Gabriel Georges), he isn't throwing as much as he otherwise would.
That being said, there is a reason he isn't considered a Dual Threat QB.

Unfortunately, not. She's obese and in the early stages of dementia.
She's also borderline hypochondriac in some of our family's opinion. I have never seen someone that likes to go to the doctor so much or looks forward to surgeries.
My father (88 next week) is in an Assisted Living Facility. He has early stage Alzheimer's, but isn't in Memory Care yet. I really thought he would hate assisted living, but it has worked really well for him. Before he was admitted, he was terrible about taking his medication on time and would get up and sit on the couch all day. Now, he is given medication at prescribed times, has caloric intake monitoring (for his diabetes) and walks (with a wheeled walker) a couple of times per day. His health and demeanor have both improved. They have a ton of activities on site.
When the time comes to transition to Memory Care, it is on the other side of the facility (so it will seem/look familiar).
