I have to admit tRant is more fun when Alabama and Auburn fans are at each other’s throats. To this day, I still remember when one of my shipmates planned his leave around the first time Alabama played Auburn at Jordan-Hare. The hordes of Hell weren’t going to keep him from being there!
My oldest granddaughter lost her Nana coming up on 3 years ago now. The first Christmas without Nana, I caught my GD huffing gasoline. I literally spent 48 hours just grieving with her and reminding her that I couldn’t bear to lose her too. I also got rid of anything gas powered in my home as well.

So yes, by all means, monitor your young children. She’s almost 14 now, typical teenager, but she still comes to her Papa when she needs comforting.

I heard that Tennessee security did not let the students on the field till Alabama personnel left the field. They gave Alabama 5 to 10 minutes to clear the field.


Friend, this is tRant. Facts and logic are verboten here.
When I entered the Navy in 1981, Spring Hill, TN was a 2 traffic light town. 1100 residents. Went to visit kin last year, and the population was over 60K. Nashville has already swallowed up Franklin and Spring Hill is next.

Gospel truth. Not only every MLK boulevard, but Rosa Parks as well.

As an aside, I’m loving the fact that the OG MC’s have had enough of the BS passed off as hip hop. Since KRS-One mentioned Premier, here’s his collab with Nas:

So, if Alabama puts 8 in the box like Arkansas did, they should get the same result as the Hogs did. Tulsa did the same thing against Navy. By the 4th quarter, their D gave up yards in chunks anyway.

From what I saw, MacIntyre was charged with just managing the game. I’m pretty sure Coach Heupel will open up the playbook against Bama.

He’s 61 years old now. Still dropping knowledge.

THIS is gospel truth. The actual sin is drunkenness. Having said that, one of my fondest memories is my late wife and I doing a tasting at Four Roses distillery and her surprising me with my personalized bottle of single barrel. I have never opened it, and probably never will. Already told my family to break it out when I die and toast Nana and Papa!

I always cut my Hurricanes with more spiced rum. Slug down half a liter of club soda before going to sleep…no hangover. Now that I’m a widower, it’s going to be awhile before I have another Hurricane tho.

Does Canada even have a military? Thought they relied on US military for protection from evil doers.


I can take a few crews from Waffle House and control Canada within 72 hours. If they balk, I’ll bring in the Popeyes evening crew from Remount Road in North Charleston and take my chances on the UN declaring us war criminals!

Yet again, it takes a NAVY fan to bring sense to yet another absurd take. I’m going to type this s l o w l y. This was Tennessee’s take on observing the ONE HUNDREDTH anniversary of General Neyland’s becoming the head football coach of the Volunteers. Since they couldn’t use the actual uniforms and helmets used in 1926…yesterday’s uniforms and helmets were an approximation. So too was the logo.

Well done, Volunteers!
I’m not medically qualified, but a mere hospital administrator. #1: Her legal team tipped this off beforehand (the “bad veins”). I have been around literally hundreds of phlebotomists in my career. If a patient is dehydrated, it’s damned near impossible to find a suitable vein for an injection. This leads to #2: I’d stick myself before I had to depend on a doctor for a blood draw OR an injection. They know the procedure, but how many actually PERFORM the procedure enough to stay qualified? Don’t get me wrong, I have seen doctors do sticks that defy belief. I’m pretty sure those doctors aren’t hired by the Tennessee DoC tho.

This whole circus was about the fact that a woman was being executed and media coverage was going to be extensive. The botched execution was manna from Heaven for anti capital punishment activists.

I’m 66 years old. Could I EVER get with a young woman like her ever again? 2 options: 1. Hell to the naw naw naw. 2. Yes, if I paid her an excessive amount of money.

Having said that, when the day comes when a nice set of mammaries doesn’t stir my loins? Put me down like Old Yeller. To this day, I give thanks that my manhood is still functional! If that’s creepy…just wait until you’re a senior. Your mind WILL change.

This track is 55 years old. Still relevant in 2026. This is why Motown music will always endure.

First time I saw Roger Staubach play. I was a Tennessee A&I (now State) fan before because my uncle played there.
We need some jazz vocals in here (and also an excuse to drop Lionel Hampton in as well):
