I do like Junior. My dad was a big Senior fan. Had a cassette. Played it alot. Kinda burned me out on him. Nowadays, when I do here a Senior song, it brings back good memories of dad. Funny how life works.
Like you can practically smell the interior of that old truck? (Or car or van?)

Junior has a bar on Broadway: it’s worth a visit. When I was there earlier this year the band played Family Tradition and All My Rowdy Friends every set (thus prompting me to stay way too long!).

Music City Bowl alert. The Power Sweep says take the over 61.5. And it's a 3 star pick. It does not forecast a winner of the game. They have Miznoz as a 4 star pick to cover (-4) in the Gator Bowl.

it would seemingly give us a slight advantage - but not much . i’ve never been much a believer thst it’s anything other than a point or two .

I’m just bummed for the fans & support staff
It's crazy that the 4 home games I went to this year were perfect weather, even 70 in November, now it's going to be freezing 6 hours south of Champaign.

Agreed. Memphis is dominated by Ol Miss fans.
Just to show how “wide” Tennessee is (all Google Maps)

Memphis to Oxford, MS - 86 miles
Memphis to Knoxville, TN - 390 miles
Knoxville, TN to Blacksburg, VA - 236 miles
Knoxville to Nashville - 180 miles

I once drove from Knoxville to Nashville for a Preds-Blackhawks Friday night hockey game when I was on a work assignment in Knoxville many years ago. It feels like a long drive!

CB Colton Hood - 2nd team all SEC
WR Chris Brazzell - first team All SEC
EDGE Josh Josephs - no SEC honors
LB Arion Carter - 2nd team All SEC
OG Moe - First team All SEC
DT Moi - had 4 solo tackles enter season
TN Lost 4 all conference starters for game. Illini lost 2 all conf starters Gabe Jacas DL All B10 first team, JC Davis OL All B10 first team

Flip side is who is playing for TN
QB1, RB1, RB2, WR2, WR3
DL2, DL3 DL4, LB2, LB3

Eye test says TN was better team during season losing to CFP Georgia (3 pts) and Oklahoma (6 pts). Bama (17). Also playing at home.
But they have more opt outs.

Illini got destroyed by CFP Indiana (53) OSU not close (20 pts)
