They do like wet weather though and struggle more in drought years, so if you were dry in late spring and early summer it might hamper your area a bit. Otherwise, I can't explain it.

John1122 Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 Pretty good day of football. Vols win vs a top 20 team on the road, Notre Dame loses, Texas A&M gets embarrassed, Florida loses, unfortunately Darth Saban pulled it out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 It's been a minute so I'm catching up. Yes @jaxjagman we had BN fireflies in Chattanooga. I was disappointed because I wanted to show the Baby. Older kid is just like whatever Dad. Can we get the telescope out? So there's hope! How about them Vols!? Road win at Pitt was gutsy. Probably would have won big at home. Kansas also with the road win at West Virginia! Hopefully many of their annoying basketball fans saw that, lol. The other upsets mentioned above @John1122 were good entertainment. Wisconsin might get honorable mention for the choke trophy. Marshall really appreciated the win at ND as they soaked in the moment with graciousness. Cool! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to think the lack of fireflies around here is more related to the development in Williamson Co.But we still have woods,but we also had a bigger deer population around here,even those are getting scarce but that has to do with development i am sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 Down go the Gators! I nearly had a heart attack at the end, but sweet relief. Heupel looks like a genius on offense, hopefully we can pull off some form of defense. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 Two snowy winters in a row. We win the SEC basketball tournament for the first time in 40 years, now we beat Florida and Alabama in the same year for the first time in forever. It's a great time to be alive in Tennessee. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Tennessee Football had a nice win over evil Mizzou. Today Tennessee men's basketball hosts Colorado. College basketball begins for real, vs a major. Then Tuesday is the Champions Classic! Life is better than I indicated in the main weather thread, haha.

John1122 Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 Horrific basketball loss. One of those days when we can't score from 3 but never really try anything but 3s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I wasn't able to watch much of the game. From what you post, and looking at the gamecast graph on ESPN I can deduce Colorado played zone D. Is that right? Vols need to penetrate that. Drive inside. High-Low is OK but don't just chuck 3s without probing. Otherwise, every team will play zone. I can't stand zone D. It should be punished with drives inside, drawing fouls, and even taking offensive fouls to establish physicality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Thankfully I missed all the news from Poland to Florida last night. Also did Taylor Swift have some sort of big ticket sale? It was the Champions Classic! Dickie V was back. All basketball baby! Michigan State "upset" Kentucky. MSU was already tested at Gonzaga while everyone else played small schools. No surprise MSU covered the spread, but I was surprised they won outright. Kansas upset Duke with stifling defense and coordinated (assists) efficient offense. It was a thing of beauty. Need to see the Vols do similar things. They have the talent. Colorado zone D just frustrated them, which is common early season. By January I bet Tennessee will shred any zone D. Did I mention I can't stand zone D? Unless my team is using it, lol! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 GFS caught onto the two systems well before the ECMWF. Result is the Thanksgiving wave followed by that closed low later in the weekend. EC had everything coming out Thanksgiving before catching on.

John1122 Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 Happy Thanksgiving to all as well. Great day of basketball and football. I know Jeff likely has a different opinion, but I'd love to end the Kansas winning streak tomorrow. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Happy Thanksgiving! It has been a nice day chillin' with family in Chattanooga and watching more basketball than football. Multiple college games went into OT. Yes Kansas and Tennessee have a date Friday for the Battle for Atlantis Championship. I think we've met in that tournament before. Plus we scheduled home-and-home a couple recent years. So, Kansas and Tennessee is a wonderful holiday tradition! I'm going to try and just enjoy the game. I've come to really like Tennessee sports, but there's no place like home. My prediction, Final score within 2 either way. Cheers! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 That was a shocker. 22 turnovers and no Jordan-James and still won by double digits, leading the entire game. I'd never have believed that would happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Turnovers were atrocious for both teams. Kansas needs to solve its size problem. After Duke I said it's how you work it. After Tennessee I see Kansas has a problem. Tennessee sharpened up second half. After my mental wounds heal I can get back to cheering for the Vols when they are not playing Kansas. Tennessee has a shot at winning the SEC, though it's not easy. SEC West has good teams too. Football today has offered closer more exciting games than pre-game spreads, which is nice. Later I probably don't want to watch the Sunflower State Showdown. Tennessee at Vanderbilt sounds better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
