  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. *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.
  5. 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."
  6. Good Lord. I just saw a tweet that showed Turner had more pass attempts than any of the US midfielders and forwards.
  7. Holy cow. He really doesn't know what advantage is?!?!?
  8. Panama just scored.
  9. Can Turner fuck off with these refs as well?
  10. Shit. I told my wife I wouldn't cuss at the tv tonight.
  11. Off. Sweet.
  12. Adams is going to throw a bitch fit if he gets subbed.
  13. That's always the concern with gerg.
  14. Holy cow!
  15. WTF is this ref doing?
  16. I feel like I'm watching Blair Witch.
  17. God dammit. Fucking ref.
  18. So win 3-0. Got it.
  19. It was weird living in Knoxville (20 years) and getting the "We're the real UT" so often. Before and after moving up there it just never crossed my mind to argue over the abbreviation.
  20. The announcers seem to think we're going to win. I was going to make a joke about how shitty soccer ends at the South American border, then I remembered that border is with Panama. Eesh.
  21. Try living in Knoxville for 20 years. Par for the course.
  22. You're hitting on something stated multiple times during our tour. And I'm guessing it had to do with the affirmative action ruling. That is, a more holistic approach to admissions. We were told not to f up the essay as it's more important than just another checked box these days. This probably allows for more wiggle room. We were even told not use teachers for the LORs as most just make generic statements and are somewhat impersonal. All this plays a bigger role than I would have imagined.
  23. He doesn't. I know engineering is difficult; however, I think I meant to write "architecture" as it pertains to what I host said. He wants to do film.
  24. Those sitters Pepi missed don't seem as funny to me now.
