  1. You're welcome for playing you aggy. Now you've got a Top 10 matchup. And, LOL, aggy playing Notre Dame at home and still seeing Texas with 4 more "watchable" games.
  2. Yep. As much trash as I talk because I had to live there for almost 20 years, deep down, they really are good people. Let me put it this way. There is a big, BIG difference between alums and tshirt fans when it comes to Tennessee. That may actually apply to all SEC teams as they support their state colleges mostly over professional sports. But yes, my wife is a Vol alum as are 3 of my best friends. The only real issues I ever had was with the tshirters, tailgate story (above) aside. /slightly drunk, don't judge
  3. Don't tweet at recruits.
  4. Way to waste over a year USsoccer. Fucking idiots.
  5. I always make it a point to listen to Tony Basilio's post game podcast when they lose. He's a great host, and the callers are, well, very interesting.
  6. Yep. I went from, "I think our goalie's name might be Meola" in '94 to avfull-fledged, Sam's Army, attendee of all the dos a cero games. Watching the team come up was far more fun than currently when higher expectations are present.
  7. This pissed me off so much a few months ago on 40 that I promised I was going to beat my younger brother's ass for being a truck driver. I was told that there was some sort of mechanical reason that semis are unable to gun the engine to pick up speed. (A max speed is built in or something.) Fine. Then, when you're driving a semi in the right lane and a truck is on your left trying to pass, then slow the fuck down for an 8th of a mile and let the guy pass.
  8. You know the folks at US Soccer are all, "Why couldn't you just get out of the 1st round and play competitively against Brazil or Colombia?". You know they were ready to just chill and reap in the attention, money, and rewards of the next 2 years. Now, they have to actually do their job(s).
  9. I was at a Vol tailgate once. Had a bit too much to drink. Got into a debate with one of the other attendees about how the Lady Vols would do against the men in a game. She was convinced that the Lady Vols would win. Another person shows up. Exact same thing. After arguing with 4 women, a dude finally shows up. Guess what? He took the women's side as well. It was weird because we came up with a list of about 10 things a player would need to be successful. They ceded 9 of the 10 aspects (height, vertical, athleticism, technique, etc...) but were convinced that the women would outshoot the men AND beat them easily.
  10. One kind of odd thing specific to TN fans is their schedule. Other than the year in which they won the MNC, here's how almost every year has played out. Preseason - aggy level hype; up the roller coaster Week 3 - Lose to Florida. Fans start to have 2nd thoughts about their expectations. Weeks 4-7 - Lose to Bama, Georgia. Fire the coach! Weeks8+ - End the year with 4 patsies and usually a pretty easy bowl game. Here's there last 9 bowl opponents: Iowa, (10-3) Clemson, Purdue, Indiana, Nebraska, Northwestern, Iowa, North Carolina, Virginia Tech. So they go on the exact same roller coaster every year. We're good, wait a minute, we suck, nope, we're good again and end on a 4 or 5 game winning streak. That has to mess with ones psyche over time. They spend 49 of 52 weeks each year pretty content with what's going on. They very rarely end the season on a bad note, so they're hyped from about Nov 1st until late Sept when they play Florida.
  11. That's not going to do anything. Every US game will sell out in '26. If anything, it almost benefits US Soccer as they probably discount the block tickets given to the fan groups.
  12. Well, it probably sucks for them that... We beat Bama the last time we played them. We beat Georgia the last time we played them. TN is 1-16 against Bama the last 17 years. TN is 2-12 against Georgia the last 14 years. TN is also 2-17 against Florida the last 19 years. You can probably see why they're anger is misplaced. They can't beat anyone they hate. Gonna be funny when we also beat Florida this year.
  13. *No wonder most of these fanbases are acting like such cunts. Texas has either scoreboard or all-time record on every school except: Vanderbilt - We got to get this fixed quickly. South Carolina - We've only played each other once. 1957. Lost 27-21, Coincidentally, I think the only other schools that have scoreboard are LSU (been mostly cool as far as I've seen) and Arkansas (I'm not sure I've seen any reaction from that fanbase. Do they have internet?) *Slightly drunk. My "research" could contain mistakes.
  14. Ha! I was at a restaurant in Knoxville the day Simms flipped. Some old dude noticed my Texas tie and straight up said, "I hope Simms breaks his leg and never plays football again."
  15. Good Lord. I just saw a tweet that showed Turner had more pass attempts than any of the US midfielders and forwards.
  16. Holy cow. He really doesn't know what advantage is?!?!?
  17. Panama just scored.
  18. Can Turner fuck off with these refs as well?
  19. Shit. I told my wife I wouldn't cuss at the tv tonight.
  20. Off. Sweet.
  21. Adams is going to throw a bitch fit if he gets subbed.
  22. That's always the concern with gerg.
  23. Holy cow!
