He rewarded us with the distinction as the only FBS team to go winless for a season and the longest losing streak at 0-13.

Anyway, condolences from the APC crowd.
I DID NOT get any cheerleader pictures. Wouldn't have mattered anyway as they were all dressed like Eskimos.
I DID drink football juice. (Jack and Coke)
I DID eat some great ribs and chicken at the tailgate party.
I DID have a good time in Neyland anyway.

Thanks for the sympathy anyway

One thing I do want to know is why the Vandy band played Rocky Top and the Tennessee Waltz after the game. I guess they were mocking us, but IMHO it was just creepy and slimy. Pride of the Southland plays the opposing team's fight song in pregame out of respect, but what they did was pretty... well... stupid....

Maybe it was a tribute? I'd be dishonest if I said I was unhappy with the outcome. However, on the whole I think Tennessee played the better game.

No, it was mockery. I was there. I know what I saw, and in over 30 years of watching Tennessee football, I have never seen that before. Ever. It was cheap.

And you are right, Vandy did everything to give us the game. We are just too slow in the secondary. ugh

I like this football juice you speak of.

Sounds better, and easier to consume, than a keg stand.

In that case, that embarasses me as an alumnus and a fan. They should know better.

She needed it to scrape the parking sticker off my windshield.

I bet that was quite a scene.

That wasn't my intent. Your football team played a good game, and deserved to win. They have had a great season, and for that I congratulate you and wish the 'Dores the best in the post season. That thing was just.... weird.

We'll be back... someday.



I hope.

Thumbs up FSA Rollover

This may have already been covered here, but just in case:

I just saw the following 44 update outlining the FSA Rollover Allowance

Item 3. Flexible Spending Account Rollover: The IRS has announced that they will now allow a carryover up to $500 of unused FSA dollars for use the next year. This applies to both the full purpose and limited purpose FSAs. Delta will implement this change immediately. The carryover from 2013 will be in addition to your 2014 Healthcare FSA election. The 2014 Benefit Enrollment period is open through November 27th. You may still elect to contribute up to $2,500 to your 2014 Healthcare FSA. The maximum amount you can have in your Healthcare FSA for 2014 is now increased to $3,000 – the maximum election of $2,500 plus $500 in carryover. This rule will also apply in future years. If you have already completed your 2014 enrollment, you may want to reconsider your healthcare FSA elections based on this new carryover provision. You still have until the enrollment deadline on November 27 to make changes to your elections.
Even if you don't plan to have any healthcare expenses in 2014, you can hedge your bet (for free) and take advantage of the $500 rollover. I just bumped my estimate by $500 for 2014 since it doesn't cost anything. Really nice to have that little bit of extra flexibility!

**This ends your public service announcement by LeineLodge**

Back to SEC Football (Don't get me started on Ohio State's strength of schedule) and the DPA foodfight
