Well, my dad is also presently married, so I guess y'all are all qualified. Carry on then with the discussion...

I do find it easy to maintain my integrity--seeing how nobody is offering me MILLIONS OF DOLLARS!!!

I started going to TAG stuff, but I moved to Lafayette in January so I haven't done anything with it since then. I guess I just run in a small circle and never chatted many people up as I should have.

Or you could always win a Tech cap with your screen-name printed on it in a BB&B bracket contest.

If more people would just do that, it'd make it a lot easier to spot other members.

Just give it time. Yours is just around the bend.

(then we'll see what you're really made of)

We have. It was at one of the old BBB tailgates, up on the hill behind the TAC. I couldn't tell you which game, but larhob was cooking ribs. You're actually quite charming in person.

The only BBBer I ever disliked right away was a former player who's now a chigger fan. He was both mean and ignorant, a nasty combination.

Agreed. No doubt White is a great guy, but this was a business decision. Tenn offer lacked long term security so he decided to stay. He is well aware that if his veteran team lives up to or exceeds expectations next year, he will have much more bargaining power. Given his current contract, and his likeliness to continue putting a winning team on the court, he can wait for the right job and right contract. Wish we could match any offer. If he stayed around for a decade or so, there is no telling the places Tech bball could go.

klpi stoner dudes love them some ninja turtles!

Should White eventually wind up at Ole Miss and Tyndall hangs around at UTK, the Rebel/Vol games should be pretty interesting. Hopefully we will have to wait a few years to see that happen though.... :icon_wink:

Cowabunga! Pizza time!

Glad to see Tyndall move on! Wish him the best and think it will be a good fit. Now Tech has one of the more Senior Coaches returning to CUSA.
