Krystal is returning to the Strip!! Life can be happy again. Things are starting to turn around in Knoxville!!

I hope we find that Butch had a hand in bringing Krystal back. Students would rally behind him even more.

That is great news - thanks for sharing '21! I have fond memories of the old Krystal, it was a lifesaver when camping out for Bama tickets and Sugar Bowl tickets back in the 80's. So glad it's coming back because I believe the demand for tickets will be high once again during the Coach Butch Jones era!
"Old School"! A strong defense wins championships!

Fresh hot square.. My favorite little gas bombs! Also the double bacon ba burger is probably my favorite fast food burger. I used to work there back in high school.

I had some 'gutbombs' on the way back from Tennersee Monday night. UUUUMMMMMMM! Good to hear they will be back on the strip. The earth is back in its proper orbit.

Haha ya'll think alike! But youre probably right. The Earth will be back on its correct orbit because all the students will gain weight again correcting the last years worth of Krystal-less weight loss

Also Vols8 since you have gone to high school and seen Foreman and Swafford play do you think they can help UT early?

I think Foreman definitely can. He has a great skill set. He is on of the runner in the state in the 100m and has game changing speed on the field. He needs to get his weight up but I can see him on Punt returns early. He is ver elusive ala CP. not as big as CP but definite similarities. As for Devaun I think it just depends on how it goes with the grey shirt year. If he hits the weight room and works hard I think he could definitely contribute. But Malik will surprise some people I think.

I like the sound of it. And since both of them will most likely be competing for time at CB and considering how bad our secondary was this season early playing time is definitely not out of the question
