The CheckerBoard

1) Why does Leslie Frazier always look mad?

2) More excited about seeing the new offense? Or having the Vol Network guy constantly mispronounce Bajakian?

3) Why does Christian Ponder throw like a girl?

4) Why did Samantha Steele marry someone who throws like a girl?

5) I have a 2 month beard right now. How awesome am I?

6) if you were a Vol hostess, would you give your all for Tennessee that day?

7) Is Minnesota the coldest place on earth? Or is it colder?

8) purple sucks.

1. Best Vikings memory?
2. Best Vols memory?
3. Worst/most bitter vikings memory (there are sooo many to choose from..)
4. Worst/most bitter vols memory

Good Morning my Orange and purple friend. Ready to get the scoop on what makes you tick.

1. Fran Tarkenton. Greatest QB ever? Did he ever accidently throw a spiral during his career?
2. Purple People Eaters. Eller, Page, Marshall, Larsen/Sutherland. How awesome were they? Why do defenses not have nicknames like this now. Are todays guys wusses?
3. I personally believe when the Vikes moved indoors that they lost their true homefield advantage. Your take?
4. What ex Vike would you like to hang out with for a day?
5. Did you ever see Bud Grant wear a coat?

6. What line of work are you in?
7. What kind of vehicles do you own?
8. Married? With kids? Is you real name Al?
9. You can only have one food to eat for the rest of your life. What is it?
10. Your opinion of bUTch so far?
11. 2013 Signing Class. Rate it.
12. Can you stop for a sec and say something bad about the Weasel?
13. Blonde, brunette, or Redhead?
14. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Kevin,Wes, and Ryan. Draw a line to match to the corresponding correct answer.

15. Not a question. Just want to say thanks for playing and I appreciate you as being a great poster and neighbor. GO VOLS!

1) have you ever BEEN in a cock fight?
2) were you sad to see Brett Favre come or go.
3)why Minnesota?
Thanks Viking.

We pick one person to have a Wednesdays with .... and this time it is Volviking. So you ask questions to get to know the person in the tread. You could always start another thread where you discuss the nuances of being a hostess. I don't think I've heard that perspective on the site before.

That makes sense! Cool way to get to know people on the site. Yes, the Vol Hostess deal was pretty prestigious when I was at UT. There were 3 rounds of interviews I think and then once they picked you, you could stay in for the entire time you were in school. So I was one til I graduated. So they only select maybe 4 or 5 girls each year out of all that apply, from what I remember. Being a sports nut, I loved it. Felt like part of the team. Sorry, didn't mean to hi-jack the post. Thanks for the explanation!!

Thank you for your patience!

1. Jury is still out on Ponder. I have very mixed emotions, but he really doesn't have any real targets other than Rudolph and Harvin
2. Francis Asbury Tarkenton is by far my all time favorite. The Scrambler was in a class of his own. In recent years, I liked noodle arm Brad Johnson probably the best. Of course when Moss was in his prime, he made a lot of QBs look good, including has-beens like Jeff George and Randall Cunningham.
3. Bell was a HUGE disappointment, but unfortunately I understand considering the state that our proud program has been in recently. Love some of the other pick-ups, so I choose to focus on them instead of our near misses.
4. Without a doubt Alan Page. The only defensive lineman to win the MVP award was my childhood idol.
5. Seen Rucker on Facebook, decided to visit and became enthralled with the mods and posters.
6. Florida 2012 . . . just wished the game had ended at the half. The pre-game atmosphere was the most electric I had seen since my student days on the Hill.

Thanks again poli!

Sorry, cut you off short Crockett!

6. If I was a hot female, I would be a millionaire. Women have 1/2 of the money and all of the ____________ in the world! Of course I would have my morals - would have to be a 4 star or above!

7. Been a fan since 1970, but have never been to the Land of 10,000 Lakes. I don't know how it could be colder than my bedroom when my wife is angry with me though . . .

8. Purple is the color of royalty!

OK. Here are my three questions.

1. Favorite restaurant?

2. Favorite BBQ? (beef, chicken, or pork)

3. Favorite season of the year? (spring, summer, autumn, winter)

Thanks Loco!

1. Attend a Vikings home game and help my children in their quest for world domination.

2. Green Bay by far. I hate everything about the packers!

3. I would eat the entire deer raw rather than have Tebow. I am ok with his character, but just can't get past his gators background and the fact that he more or less sucks as a QB.

4. No question about it: AL WILSON! I love a mean defense and if you look up fierce D in the dictionary, there is a pic of Al Wilson!

Thanks again!
