Excuses, excuses: you hear them every day. This is really beginning to get old. For the past 10 months or so that I have been writing on this website, I've fed myself and others with excuse after excuse for Tennessee football's latest swoon. I hate it. I hate to make excuses. I ...Published on: 4th October, 2009
I'm generally an pessimistic person. I usually see the glass half-empty rather than half-full. So you can imagine my concern and overall dismay during the first half of the Tennessee-Auburn game on Saturday night. I was ready to post random insults and various other musings on my facebook at halftime. I ...Published on: 1st October, 2009
Most of my fanhood pulling for Tennessee has been spent hating the usual suspects—Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. That fact has not really changed over the past 20 years.

The week that was held plenty of surprises for the diehard college football fan. Who had USC going down to the Huskies? I know a few folks did, but I sure didn't. How about Tennessee NOT getting beat by 50 and seeing Florida fans walk out of the stadium in sheer ...Published on: 19th September, 2009
A funny thing happened in The Swamp Saturday. Someone didn't read the script. The Tennessee Volunteers went into the toughest atmosphere in college football as 30-point underdogs and played the game of their lives! Even in a 10-point loss to the hated Gators the Vols looked every bit their equal on ...Published on: 18th September, 2009
Florida Week Any other season in the recent history of the Tennessee Vols this week would be referred to as Florida week. This year, not so much. This year most Vol fans would like to forget this week. If not for last week's UCLA debacle, however, there might not be as much ...Published on: 16th September, 2009
