Quality interweb mischief from Jared Bridges
The Vols take on the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs tomorrow at Neyland Stadium. The point spread is 23 at the moment, but I predict a 45-10 rout. The Bulldogs have 10 turnovers already this season, so they might be fortunate to score 10. I’m sure the Checkerboard will have a pre-game post up shortly.
Vols 30, Gators 28 On a night that was supposed to be all wet due to the remnants of a hurricane, the remnants of a rivalry were gathered instead as Tennessee and Florida’s stormy relationship culled into what was arguably the greatest game in the recent history of the series. Down to the gut-wrenching wire, … Read more
For 51 weeks out of the year, TruePravda is all about love, sweet love. But this is the week where love is thrown to the wind (Hurricane Ivan needs all the love he can get, eh?) and hatred rises in full force. Yes, I’m talking about hatred of the University of Florida Gators (not to … Read more
There are some things that should never take place on a Sunday—weddings and college football are definitely among them. These two events conspired to keep me from viewing the Tennessee Vols’ home opener yesterday, a 42-17 victory over UNLV. Qohelet tells us that for everything there is a season. It’s time we take his advice … Read more
Vols 14, Tigers 24 It’s a bitter time to write, but I had best get it over with. The Vols did a great job tonight of embarassing themselves and their constituency against an OK Clemson team in the Peach Bowl. What started with a “show of discipline” in Phillip Fulmer’s benching of James Banks for … Read more
It looks like the evil genius Steve Spurrier has “thrown in the visor” on his Washington Redskins coaching job. They must have uncovered the fact that he was coach of the wretched Florida Gators for a number of years. Perhaps Spurrier and his visor will find work as a casino card dealer… Have I ever … Read more
The BCS poll has finally come out with its first big screw-up by ranking Oklahoma first despite a crushing defeat in its conference championship. What’s funny is that everyone knew the BCS had obvious problems, but it had worked out OK most years, so everyone played along. I predict this decision will have major fallout. … Read more
Vols 20, Cats 7 I did take a break from my studies to go see the Tennessee-Kentucky football game in Lexington with my wife today. My wife graduated from Kentucky; I graduated from Tennessee. We were one of the many “intermarried” couples at a game where the temperature hovered around the freezing mark. I couldn’t … Read more
Vols 48, Commodores 0 In the last three years, Tennessee has outscored Vanderbilt 110-0. In the Phil Fulmer era (1993-Present), the Vols have had 12 shutouts, 5 of which have been against Vanderbilt. Isn’t it great to have a perennial whipping-boy? I didn’t get to see this game because it was on pay-per-view, but hopefully … Read more
Vols 59, Bulldogs 21 Tennessee finally earned a little breathing room today against Mississippi State with their first blowout of the season. It was a fun game to watch, and Tennessee’s offense was unstoppable, not that Mississippi State had anything to stop them. The funniest part about watching this game was when one of the … Read more
