tnweathernut Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 It was mighty close, Nut! Good job on nearly bringing the Vols home as winners! If they can beat the Cats on Halloween night in Lexington, I think they may just run the table from here on out. GBO Only way the weekend could have been better would have been to have secured a win and figured out ahead of time getting a hotel would be "doable" after the game. Terrible planning when we didn't know Talladega was this weekend. So............after staying in Tuscaloosa until about 2:30am (which by the way was a lot more fun than I would have thought.) we decided to find a hotel. We knew we couldn't get one IN Tuscaloosa, so headed back to Birmingham only to figure out there were none there either. It's worth a mention you can't really use hotel apps after midnight b/c you are just booking for the following night...lol So on to Cullman. Yep, you guessed it, none there either. Stopping at every hotel exit we FINALLY found one near the TN AL border at 4:50am. The hotel room was a smoky mess and pretty much a dump, but we were just happy to have found a place to lay our heads...... Next year, we will likely head to College Station as a group. I am guessing we will book the hotel rooms the day the schedule is announced, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxjagman Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Thank you! Oh my, defending a 1 run lead was heart pounding. I have not been that nervous since Kansas won the NCAA in 2008. Also the way KC scored our 4th run was simply Royal! Couldn't ask for a better game 1,14 inngs.Leg up for yall,you didn't need to lose game one at home,congrats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Fort Mountain State Park, northwest Georgia, was looking fine on Friday 10/30. Peak leaves still as far up as 2,000 FT so we should have a few more days after the rain. Happy Halloween! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Congrats Jeff !! Thank you so much. Words cannot capture how happy I feel! Childhood memories enhance current emotion and euphoria. From George Brett at Citi Field to Volquez drawing his Dad's initials on the mound, Coronation Day (night) was beyond magical. Ewing Kauffman (1985 owner) and Dick Howser (1985 manager) also smile down. After over two decades of barren ball, dreams come true in KC because we believe. Even accounting for recency bias, Taking the Crown is by far the sweetest sport championship I've ever experienced. It is beyond Royal! This is Mariettawx. I've moved a bit farther west into GA so I've decided to change my screen name as I've moved from Marietta! Are you repositioning for El Nino? Good luck!

Grats on the big win last night. moving 20 miles WSW to Lithia Springs will allow me to fully utilize the heliourbanacity effect that seems to correlate with strong El Niño years. I've calculated that this move to the WSW will place me in the exact center of the largest storm to ever hit GA/TN on January 11th, 2016. My calculations also further predict that Nashville will get shafted from said storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a ton of people there (some estimates of up to 300,000). Alabama was a busy place that weekend!!!! I heard a lot of roll tide down there, lol. We camped out there from Friday till Sunday afternoon. I would recommend going there to anybody at least once in your lifetime. It is definitely a wild place. We left there after the race and got back home at around 2 am! So it was a long drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rode out many storms in those campgrounds. And lemme tell ya, there's nothing like sitting in an RV with tornado sirens going off around you, and no way to look at radar because cell service is/was terrible. This is one of the campgounds we stayed in one year.....not fun!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvskelton Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Congrats on a great win, Jeff! I think it speaks highly of KC that there was not a single arrest for rioting, looting or setting things on fire during the city-wide celebration after the win! It's a shame that those actions seem to be the norm these days. I always enjoyed watching George Brett play when I was younger (I followed baseball a lot closer back in those years).

The good news is it's going to cool down a little for the game in Knoxville this weekend. Hoping those showers are out of the way an hour before kickoff or so. Regardless, I'll be in Section O as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnweathernut Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Shewwwww! It's been a CRAZY couple of weeks. Just wanted to pop on and say congrats to Jeff on the World Series championship. I cheer for the Twins (1987 and 1991 WC) and I remember how it felt when they won, but like YOU (until this year) it's been far too long. Enjoy and relish the victory! Jax, I hope the surgery tomorrow is a success. It's a very common surgery so you will be fine. I had a double hernia one time too. A couple of sore days after the surgery, but not too bad. Keep a bag of frozen peas on hand and get off the pain killers as soon as possible. Those things can be addictive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
