A community of reasonable fanatics.
Warm-ups: Consensus on the worst candy ever, and a Surprising Solution to the Mortgage Crisis.
Plus 20 minutes of bonus coverage.
Indeed. Things ARE pretty good on Rocky Top these days, with the football team undefeated headed into the Third Saturday in October with the best chance to beat the Tide in years. After too many years of previewing this game with jokes and other coping mechanisms, Will and Joel lean all the way in to a Tennessee-Alabama week the way it was meant to be.
Bonus coverage features Will’s somewhat awkward Zakai Zeigler sighting at Boo at the Zoo and Joel’s definitely awkward eye contact with John Fulkerson.
The GRT Podcast is, like the Tennessee Football team, back in the saddle. In this episode, cocooned in newness, we talk about the Vols being 10.5-point favorites over a Florida Gators team we’ve beaten only once in nearly two decades and why we think The Weirdness will not be making an appearance this year. We also discuss community expectations via the GRT Win Total Machine and hit on Pitt a bit.
Bonus coverage features a confidential counseling session and fond memories of the sheer awesomeness of Neyland Stadium.
There is a video of this podcast, but it needs to be stitched together before it is “live-streamed,” so that may come later. Until then, please pardon the references to video and the bumpy ride and sound quality at certain points, but know that by enduring all of that you are standing with the good people of Ukraine. #spendwithukraine
In Episode 184 of the Gameday on Rocky Top Podcas, Will and I:
In this episode of the Gameday on Rocky Top Podcast, we hit “play” on the motion offense just to see what happens. Here’s what happened:
1. I forgot to tell my computer to use the other microphone.
2. Post-Kentucky elation.
3. Post-Arkansas oh wells.
4. What is this team’s Kryptonite?
5. Is it time for Fulkerson to get back in to the starting lineup?
6. Bracketology and comparative resumes.
Bonus: Who’s your favorite broadcasting play-by-play and color guys?
Will and a muffled Joel (sorry for the technical difficulties!) are once again joined by former Rocky Top Talk cohort Chris Pendley, this time to talk about all things Heupel, hoops, and what’s happening over the holidays.
Joel and Will woo their way through the Vols exceeding expectations for the second week in a row. They then parlay that into a long weekend at Fantasy Island and return home to conclude that the upcoming Ole Miss game looks suspiciously like the earlier Florida game, except that now the Tennessee offense seems to have found its stride.
