Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to everyone. With a 6 and 3 year old, we've been going strong since early this morning.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Got a banging new Preds sweatshirt from my stepson and his girlfriend.

Also got a gold Stamkos replica. I'm gonna be interested to see how we manage to get rid of him now.

So I just put two and two together. I'm going to be driving down to Birmingham to meet with friends for the New Year as I always do. The day I'm driving down is the 27th. There's, um, something taking place in Birmingham that day.

I think the timing is such that I won't be nearing the Nashville area (which my route takes me through) 'till an hour or so before kickoff and so should be a couple hours behind the resulting Nashville->Birmingham traffic rush. Probably. But still, oops.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all! Unfortunately Covid has been our Grinch and affected 3/4 in our house. I am the 1/4 (so far).

They're not deathly ill, thank goodness, but they're miserable. I was banned from all holiday goings on in the event I'm Covid Adzy. On the one hand, sadness because I love Christmas with the family (and they make such good pies and crescent cookies!) but on the other hand I do get ALL the pigs in a blanket. Hope you all have a happy holiday! Lisa aka Adz

My wife has been dealing with sinus mess since last Friday. We tested her before we left ( she works for Vanderbilt) and everything came up negative. Luckily it wasn't something like Norovirus she had a couple of years ago.

Hope everyone had a good Christmas. We get to head home Saturday. Only good thing about being up here, no blackout restrictions.

I would guess most people who are going will go down tonight and stay the night. I can't imagine there will be that much extra traffic just because of the bowl game. If anything, there will just be traffic because of holiday travel

Also, it’s been ages since Vandy has made a ball game. You know everybody’s gonna be renting a hotel and making a bit out of it the day before.

I wonder if that was the same thing I had fall of (I think) 2021. It was just awful, but wasn't covid. We had wondered after the fact if it was possibly RSV but MAYBE it was the same norovirus she had. We didn't go to the doctor (it was pretty dicey at that point, if the doctor's office was actually open) and just toughed it out. I didn't go to games for 6 weeks!

Well hers was the fact everything ran right through her for about 5-6 days. Other than that and the cramping that went along with it she didn't have much of anything else if I remember right. Maybe a fever.

The drive worked out just fine. Heck, was listening to the game on the way down. Whew.
