Your RBR Word of the Day: riparian

riparian \rih-PAIR-ee-uhn; ry-PAIR-ee-uhn\, adjective:
Of or pertaining to the bank of a river or stream.

We might detest the football team that calls it home, but the riparian location of Neyland Stadium does make for one of the coolest traditions in all of college football.

What...

...you don't think being able to take a boat to your stadium isn't cool?

Why, yes, in some circumstances it would be cool

But, not this one: C'mon Todd, just the thought of 10K homicidally intoxicated cousin-touchers operating motor vehicles terrifies me...what about you? It's like a slow, wet Autobahn on meth.

to Neyland and sat in the middle of the UT student section in all my Bama regalia including shakers sitting with my USED TO BE best friend. I was extremely obnoxiously yelling Roll Tide and shaking those shakers, but not cursing. The people near me were throwing things at me, but I didn't care-we were winning and won!! It was the best, even though I had to find another best friend. Friends don't let friends go to UcheaT, but she went anyway.

I once saw a rotting dead dog

in a "riparian" location, but it didn't make it cool. Just wish it'd been Smokey...

Pretty campus!!

UT has a pretty campus and the Vol Navy is cool, but all that orange makes me sick to look at!!
I would love to drop kick Smokey, but I love animals to much! Hating the Vols is a passion that
starts sept 1st every season!! The Smokey mountains is a pretty place to visit, but I will
not stay in Knoville for one minute to see all the
ugly orange overalls and other retart things!!
ROLL TIDE!!

Hating the Vols

is a passion that never stops for me. I have a degree from UT and some parts of the campus (The Hill) are quite pretty, but all in all it is no UA. UT went thru a lot of growth in the 1970s and it shows on campus. However, I do agree the Vol Navy is actually pretty cool.

I wouldn't piss off the boys from Alabama . . .
