Perhaps because there is no such step in 23 N. or O.? What category are we talking about?

So there was no real benefit. At the time, I WAS one of those junior guys, and I saw no palpable benefit. I really believe though that any negative movement that could potentially be created with the whale parking will not be noticed on the bottom end because of the hiring that is going on, and that will continue for the foreseeable future. It is going to be the middle of the list that is going to see the most damage... and yes I have a selfish interest there because I finally made it to the middle.

SEC football. If The Big Orange finishes 6-6 and goes to the Liberty Bowl, I'll be ecstatic. How about a tailgate and I'll bring the ribs....? Of course you mentioned you live in west TN, and there are 8 SEC schools closer to MEmphis than Knoxville... which one are you following?

OK, so I get a little break to run home and grab fresh underwear and mow the grass. The wife leaves me the kids and runs to the mall.

So during my morning reading I discover someone developed a Google Chrome Extension that changes every image viewed online to a picture of Nicholas Cage.

So, should I install this on every computer and tablet and leave for 7 days?

The only way UT beats Bama is for a huge sinkhole to open up and swallow Tuscaloosa before the third Saturday in October. We ain't even gonna beat FU, and to hear Folrida fans, you'd think they have the worst team since the inaugural Tampa Bay Bucs

My son goes to OU and I'm going to be at the Tennessee game in Norman this year. So I guess you're saying that will be an easy win for the Sooners?

I thought about going to that game, but I am tired of traveling across the country to watch us get the hell beat out of us. Oregon... UCLA.... UCAL.... I'm done with away OOC games for awhile. Have fun. At least you won't have to hear Rocky Top a lot.


We are replacing our ENTIRE offensive AND defensive lines this year.

6 and 6 would be orgasmic.
