Vols 14, Razorbacks 31 Were I to graph the Volunteers 2006 season, the hills and valleys in the graph would warrant a 4-wheel drive to navigate. From looking like a well-oiled machine against Georgia, to being rendered completely ineffective by Arkansas tonight. Granted, Arkansas is hot right now, but it didn’t even appear that the … Read more
Vols 24, Tigers 28 Tough game against a gritty LSU team. The Vols lost this one the old fashioned way: they were outplayed. Do I think a healthy Erik Ainge would have made a difference? Yes. Do I think a healthy Ainge would have won the game? I doubt it. To add insult to injury, … Read more
Vols 31, Gamecocks 24 It’s a shame that Steve Spurrier has done away with his visor. The Ol’ Ball Coach could have added his famous half-hat to the mix as the South Carolina fans tossed trash and other debris onto the field. Rough game for the Vols, but hats off to them for the win. … Read more
Vols 16, Crimson Tide 13 Years before tradition was trumped by the timidity of political correctness, it was custom for the winning team of the Tennessee-Alabama football game to smoke cigars together in victory. A few years ago, the institutional powers-that-be decided that universities that send out their students to bludgeon themselves in a football … Read more
I love Alabama fans. I have to. After all, an entire branch of my family tree comes from the Southern state that stars fell upon. Growing up as a Tennessee fan with an Alabama-alumnus father made for an interesting time come football season. I and my brothers were forced to wear crimson clothing as young … Read more
Vols 51, Bulldogs 33 Tennessee hasn’t looked better this century. In fact they haven’t looked better this millennium. With the exception of our familiar not-so-special teams, the Vols looked eerily flawless against Georgia tonight. Erik Ainge was spot-on perfect with 267 passing yards against one of the most touted defenses in the country. Bret Smith … Read more
Vols 41, Tigers 7 Well, the saying goes that a “W” is a “W,” any way you can take it. With this game it seemed like a “W” was a “Z.” As in sleep. As in “Zzzzz Zzzzz Zzzzz.” In case you’re confused by all those end-of-the-alphabet letters, this was one of the most boring … Read more
Vols 33, Thundering Herd 7 I didn’t get to listen to the game last Saturday, but from all reports, the Thundering Herd of Marshall was only partly-cloudy. Did any of you Vol-faithful get to see or hear the game? Any new insights? Was this game as “good for us” as the loss to Florida was … Read more
I hate Florida.
Vols 31, Falcons 30 The Wild Blue Yonder was like a blitzkrieg for the Vols this evening. From what it sounded like (I listened to the radio broadcast), the Air Force ran a mighty efficient squadron. Erik Ainge had a good night, true to form, he still wasn’t perfect. Ainge has yet to have a … Read more
