I just joined this morning. Looking forward to conversating with your guys. Live in the middle of enemy territory (Hoover, AL) and get so tired of the "Roll Tide" crap. They honestly believe they are never going to lose another game. Can't wait to get FB started. Rocky Top!

Welcome, Boomer!
Its not a stupid question until you ask it.

Since this is the thank you thread I would like to thank my wife who continues to keep the money for this site attainable to be auto drafted from my account, also to the mods for being so great and to the subscribers, I might not post in all threads but I do read them and love all the responses you all have even if I don't agree. So here's a BIG thank you to everyone here.......yeah I was really kidding about the whole wife thing but she did sign me up for this site and it was the best gift ever(next to the signed Peyton manning framed photos) just sayin.

Its a lonely existance being a vol fan up here in PA where all the talk is about child molesters at Penn State and the eagles so getting on here every day to get my vol fix is such a relief. Keep up the great work!

It's about as lonely in Toledo listening about Ohio St and Michigan. Even worse since Urban took over! Enjoy this great sight. The game day play by play is great for both football and basketball, especially when the games aren't on TV.

Thanks, boss. One of our more frequent posters is hdrizzle. He's a Philly guy. I'm a Philly guy. We have Philly guys in the office. Not sure what part of PA you are in, but have a soft pretzel and a Rita's water ice for me, or an Iron City Light, or an Entenmens/Tasty Cake, Scrapple, etc., for me.
Post more often!

Scrapple is the worst.
Tasty Cakes are better than every Little Debbie except Oatmeal Cream Pies and Apple Flips, though.
Love the new stadiums up there, too.
One of my college roommates and good friends lives up that way, and he and his family are big-time UT people.

Thanks! Yeah, Nepal is right in-between India and China. Had a buddy here from Lawrenceburg TN for a bit but he's gone back stateside. I'm (as far as I know) the lone VOL in Nepal.
Ryan- Thanks! Looking forward to it.
