Looks like the Vols might be the team from the SEC East that will end the SEC West domination, this year.

Ha! I'm an alumnus ... and ain't never attended a Vols game. I DID get drunk and laid during our homecoming game though ... does that count? ;)

[Trav]

It counts as the worst mistake of some poor girls life.

[DeputyDog]

HA!

[Thumper]

She was the envy of sorority row after that! :D

[Big Muddy]

Thump, you really shouldn't have gotten so drunk. ;)

Great edjukation there.

Alumni are GRADUATES. Not Matriculaters.

My Son in Law teaches there.... What's happening?

Huh? That's news to me ... AND the dictionary evidently. (And, although it's the same thing, if you want to get all picky and stuff, the actual word I used was, "alumnus".)

a·lum·nus

əˈləmnəs

noun;

a graduate or former student, especially male, of a particular school, college, or university.

Would you be happier if I'd just said UT is my alma mater? Or do you think that term can only can only be used by graduates?

On a final note, if we're going to get into semantics here, there's no such word (that I'm aware of) as Matriculater ... the correct term is: Matriculant.

matriculant

[muh-trik-yuh-luh nt]

noun

1. a person who matriculates; a candidate for matriculation.

See? I'm all edumacated and stuff! Maybe a year of college, four years in the military and a ton of "street-smarts" is better than a degree! :D
