Happy Halloween, indeed. |
|
Amazing how similar they look to the pumpkins pictured below... |
|
Sorry to double post, but just checked out the Lulu and Junior website--funny, funny stuff. |
|
That picture would be a lot funnier if I didn't live in Tennessee with thousands of people who look just like that. The Big Ernge never ceases to amaze. |
|
Hey Memphis radio stations are reporting that Sanders refused to stay with the team the rest of the year and left the team. |
|
tn -- wasn't that a Holtz line? Classic. |
|
I grew up in TN and that photo reminds me of lots of folks I knew or saw on a daily basis. They really are an accurate representation of a good segment of the Beeg Arnge fanbase. It actually makes me kind of nostalgic. |
|
there was a great letter to the observer a few days back about how accomodating the fans in Knoxville were to the Notre Dame faithful at our away game last year. It really compels you to treat them with a lot of class when they come up here to south bend. Not that any of your guys' comments would've insinuated you wouldn't have, I just thought it was a good time to bring that up, given the subject of TN fans. |
|
Don't get your panties in a bunch there TommyO. There is a big difference between message board/net harrassment and game day treatment. I remember seeing similar if not worse comments about USC, UM, MSU fans, and all they do is rave about the place and treatment. I think most grown adults with a sense of decency know when to leave the name calling and such at home. |
|
Tommy, I was thinking the exact same thing when I was reading these comments. I've heard from many sources that UT fans are amazing hosts and that Neyland stadium is a great place to take in a game. Take Noble's family for example... they're ridiculously nice UT fans. Southern hospitality at its finest. |
|
I was at the Tennessee game last year and sat in a section that was 90% Tennessee fans. Nearly every single person I met was extremely cordial and inviting. The atmosphere before the game was great, although to be honest most Vols fans expected a big win over a down Irish team and that makes being a gracious host all the easier. But they did seem like great fans who just love the game of football. After the game there were the usual assorted yahoos you find everywhere, but for the most part Vols fans were still polite and friendly even in defeat. |
|
When UT came to visit in 2001,we kept on getting compliments on how they were treated. The same goes with how we got treated in Knoxville last year. Great people! I'll see everyone at the Backer! Go Irish! |
|
Them's my cuzins. Gotta love ol' Lulu and Junior. |
|
UT saves its hatred for Florida fans, much as we save it for Wolverines. |
|
This thing with Sanders did not go well. Basically his quotes were him being unsatisifed with the offense, but it wasnt because they weren't working hard to fix it...basically it came across as this being a forced move. |
|
You see, if Tennessee had these two starting at guard, then Fulmer would have himself one hell of an offense. Its poor recruiting, thats all. |
|
The folks from Florida have put together a scream of a website. Very funny. |
|
Brats and beer for everyone! |
|
On behalf of all Florida fans...FINISH THEM. Show no mercy. Beat them 'til the white meat shows. Make them weep gravy tears. End them. |
|
Am I alone in initially thinking that the above picture came from some sort of SNL skit? I swear that is Chris Farley on the left... |
|
Speaking of funny pictures, check out Jimmy Clausen's mugshot on Rivals. He appears to be going for a "Dune"-era Sting look. |
|
Orson, didn't your buddy Stranko call for a Vol upset on Saturday? |
|
Do you think that Lulu and Junior, if cut, would bleed pure gravy? And if so, would it be brown Thanksgiving-style gravy, or would it be like a white, sausage gravy that would be put on biscuits at a Waffle House? Discuss... |
|
Lulu.... |
|
hey,i don't appreciate yall talkin' 'bout my parents that way |
|
He may have... but he's got a Spurrier problem. So do we, but of a slightly lesser degree. |
|
Let's add Jason Whitlock to the list of ppl who are just jerks |
|
and the list of people who have no idea what they are talking about. He's an ASS CLOWN!! |
|
I personally have never been to a game in Neyland or been in South Bend when the Ernge comes through, but I'm surprised the fans are getting rave reviews. The majority of fans in Nashville are rude, classless, and more obnoxious than any other group of fans. I'm glad there are a few classy ones that people have run into, but I've always been disgusted by them. Maybe I'm just bitter from one making fun of my ND jacket after the '91 loss when I was just a wee lad... |
|
I mean, do these idiot writers have any idea what they're doing? Not for anything, but why would any school EVER hire a black head coach, when, no matter what happens, everything you EVER do will be under the microscope as racially motivated? Don't these writers realize this is what they are doing?? |
|
Brian, |
|
I've been to Neyland on two occasions and had great times in both situations. |
|
How about just hiring the best guy and best fit? That would seem to work out the best |
|

Jason Whitlock is wrong in implying that race had anything to do the contract extension offered to Weis. Race is now involved in the debate only because Whitlock suggested that it should be. I find it interesting that Whitlock feels the need to "play the race card" in this situation. To advocate that the contract extension offered to Weis by Notre Dame is racist is akin to Whitlock essentially admitting that he possesses absolutely no understanding of the situation. As a Notre Dame student, and an avid follower of Notre Dame football for years, I have the utmost respect for Ty Willingham. That being said, I respect the coaching ability of Weis far more than Willingham’s. It was unfair that Willingham was prematurely fired but that decision was independent of race. That decision was based upon the performance of the football program during Willingham’s tenure. The success of Willingham’s first season was far less substantial than the success of Weis’ first season. Notre Dame gave an extension to Weis because the administration feels, as does the vast majority of the student population, that Weis is our coach of the present and future. If Whitlock had been at the pep rally before the USC game, or the game itself, it would be impossible for him to deny the electricity that pervaded the Notre Dame campus. If Weis proves to be unsuccessful, which I highly doubt given his previous track record, there is no doubt in my mind that Notre Dame will fire him long before 2015. The fact is that the Notre Dame community considers itself a family, and Weis, as an alumus, is part of that family. During Willingham’s tenure, he was just doing his job. There was never a sense that he cared about this program as much as Weis does. Weis understands completely the aura that surrounds Notre Dame football, how much the program means to its fans, and his role as head coach. Notre Dame rewarded him accordingly with the extension. |
