@limr just reading the highlights of that game, I had intended on watching it but started doing something else and forgot. Wow I'm sorry I missed it! Despite my allegiance to Bama football I have a fondness for the Volunteers going back almost 40 years.

I didn't even know it was on - just sort of caught parts of it here and there. I haven't been a big fan of the Vols. Despite what the sports writers like to claim, they aren't "archrivals" or anything (that's Georgia, of course!) - sure, there's a rivalry, but nothing really much more than what exists between a lot of SEC teams. But I remember there was some bad blood in the early 90s. They pounded on us in 1990 and then we pounded back the year after. The game was in Gainesville in 1991 and I remember some kind of scandal (just looked it up: Florida–Tennessee football rivalry - Wikipedia Scroll down to 'Faxgate') but really what I remember was Tennessee fans behaving very badly in town after their loss. Left a bad taste in my mouth.

But then came Ms.Sharon, and though we'd trash talk all through football season, ultimately what happened was that I now associate the Vols with her, and I can't be mad at them anymore

@limr my first introduction to SEC was in September 1980 (Auburn/Tennessee) as the guest of the president of the company I worked for at the time. All I heard on the 3 hr trip down was how great Auburn was, and how strong they were. At the end of the end of every quarter, he'd tell me they were going to come alive. When he told me that at the start of the 4th quarter, I told him I didn't think others shared his opinion, as they were leaving in droves. Final score Tennessee 42-0. I've had this soft spot for them ever since. LOL

Are you hosers still talking football??

It's taking a long time for that large group of people to load! You got a picture of somebody (to the left) taking a picture of you taking the picture.

Where are you from Frank? I forget. We have relatives/ancestors from Bremen. We have a cousin who came here once, traveling across the US, but unfortunately we since lost touch. She brought us a family chart going back to the 1500s.

Get used to it 'cause we'll be talking about it well into Jan 2018 And then into Feb for those who are talking about NFL and not college ball.

For any Whovians, MLW has been watching ER, something I haven't been able to do, until I heard a familiar voice and looked to see familiar very wavy blonde hair . . . Alex Kingston aka River Song ("Hell in high heels").

Not a fan but it's near the office.
